Notes
Shades of Gospel Soul is a relatively rare gospel LP released by Motown back in 1969. This set features strong vocal outings from The Gospel Stars, The Wright Specials & Columbus Mann of Detroit, Michigan. The first couple of tracks, in-particular, are big winners. Just check the audio sample…Recommended!
*This post is noteworthy, also, because its my very first use of the ClickRepair & De-Noise filters, which came to me via a recent recommendation from Mietek. Let me assure you, those programs have made a HUGE improvement in the quality of my most recent vinyl rips. Ever since my super-annoying technical troubles a few weeks prior, I’ve become a bit less satisfied with the sound of my vinyl offerings. I ended up having to change my receiver’s line-out from an RCA to a headphone-jack to circumvent a grounding buzz that had developed. The end result, though, was more snap, crackle & drag from the stylus. So, thanks so much Mietek! My records sound better than ever. After a few more new posts this month, I may go back and re-up some previous posts with improved versions. I’d also be happy to take suggestions on which ones to prioritize, if any of you have ’em.

Y’know, aside from the Temps and Marvin I tend to be prejudiced against Motown (thank you, most irritating & ubiquitous Supremes, for almost succeeding in ruining the label for me) so I was going skip this…should’ve trusted you, Nick.
Thanks!
Fair enough. But please tell me that you don’t hate on Smoky & the Miracles?! Old Stevie? Jacksons #3… No, its ok if you do, but I just love that stuff.
I don’t hate on anyone (except maybe the Supremes) but… let’s just say that every single day I put on something that moves me from Stax or Goldwax or Back Beat or Sound Stage 7 or … and Motown not as often 😉
Love your blog; it’s good to see something with variety. Added to my blogroll!
