About this product

The Harlem Gospel Travelers are not from Harlem. They came to Harlem, however, from far-flung corners of the five boroughs of New York City, and it was in Harlem, that legendary center of African-American culture, that they found their voices. As members of the music education program Gospel For Teens, these young men spent many hours on the subway or the bus to ultimately end up at an unassuming brownstone on W. 126th Street. They walked through the red door at the parlor level, the one with the cross on it, and inside they found a world of music. Gospel music. As their teacher, my job was less to impart information, and more to show these talented young men what they already knew. They already knew how to sing, that much was obvious, but it was here that they learned what their voices could really do and how to use them. We listened to the music of the masters The Soul Stirrers, The Swan Silvertones, The Violinaires and The Swanee Quintet, and these young men, really boys at the time, soaked it all in. They quickly moved from imitation to creation, writing their own songs and building original arrangements of traditional material from the ground up. They honed and tightened their harmonies. They learned when to shout and when to whisper. What you have before you is the distillation of all their hard work - the first full-length album from The Harlem Gospel Travelers. Each member of the group gets a chance to lead here, and each gets to showcase his unique and individual voice. Their styles are already fully formed at such an early age (the youngest member is 18, the oldest just 21), and they use them here to great effect. Each song has a purpose, but the goal of the album as a whole is simple to glorify the name of God and to sing His praises. We hope you like the music included on InchHe's On Time,Inch but more than that, we hope it lifts up your spirit and bring

Gg Allin - Expose Yourself: The Singles Collection 1977-1991   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

If you had an immense amount of courage (as well as a strong stomach), then you may have been 'lucky' to have experienced G.G. Allin the way he was meant to be - on-stage. In the studio, G.G.'s recordings more times than not did not match the fire of his live performance (and after watching some of his brutal shows on video, how could they'), as they were issued on a variety of little-known indie labels, and of varying quality. One of the first compilations to truly pull tracks from throughout G.G.'s controversial career is 2004's Expose Yourself The Singles Collection 1977-1991. A few selections have been impossible to find for years, such as the early G.G. single InchLove TunnelInch b/w InchDevil's Triangle,Inch which makes it's first appearance in years here. Elsewhere, you'll find tracks that have appeared elsewhere - InchSnakeman's Dance,Inch InchWhen I Die,Inch InchGypsy Motherfucker,Inch etc. - but are among G.G.'s best (which can't be said about the badly dated Inch1980s Rock and RollInch). Since it touches upon most of his different eras, Expose Yourself The Singles Collection 1977-1991 is easily one of the better G.G. comps to appear. - Greg Prato The Singles Coll (1977-1991) Personnel G.G.
