Sons Of Truth - A Message From The Ghetto (LP 1972 The Gospel Truth - CD 2010 BGP + Booklet) - Rare Gospel/Soul/Funk (FLAC 313MB)

The ultimate funk and gospel amalgamation, wow! How far ahead of their day were these guys! One of the greatest examples of religious grooves meeting big 70s funk rhythms. Released on CD for the first time back in 2010. When BGP started the Funk & Jazz Classics series earlier that year they had an idea that they would put a few albums out, and that would be that. But as they reached their third batch of five they found that there is a whole world of sought after original albums, which for a myriad of reasons have failed to turn up in the reissue racks. This time they came up with something very special, digging deep into the Stax Records vaults to rescue five of the most collectable albums on the label. This being one of them. The Sons Of Truth LP appeared on Stax’s Gospel Truth subsidiary. The group look like they could be in Funkadelic etc, while their music is a blend of compelling funk and harmony soul that doesn’t appear to be based on traditional gospel in any way. Cuts from this album started to be played in progressive soul clubs also back in the day.
