"Thank You For One More Day" and "Come Over Here" - The Angelic Gospel Singers


Found this the other day; the cover immediately jumped out at me. The Person on the right, Josephine I believe, looks absolutely terrified. She is the only one not looking at the camera, and seems to be on the verge of tears.

With a little further research about this track, I learned that The Angelic Gospel Singers were the longest continuos recording and preforming female lead gospel group in the US. Their first album was released in 1961 and their final in 2000. This album Margret, Josephine, and Bernice was released in 1978.

"Thank You for One More Day" is a pretty great up tempo track. Im not sure exactly what jumped out about it to me, but I think it's pretty great. The second track i'll share from this album is "Come Over Here". This is the first song off of the album, and is much slower soulful than "Thank You for One More day". The instrumental intro, especially the first few notes on the piano, establishes the perfect mood for the vocals that follow.

Thank You for One More Day

The Dance EP

Here's the second track from a record I found the other day. It has no identification marks other than the "The Dance EP" hand stamped on the inner ring, and 'DF-003 A' / 'DF-003 B' etched in the runout. It's a pretty solid 90's techno track that feature such stellar lyrics as...

take me away
come with me to the dance floor
you and me, cause that's what it's for
show me now what it is
we got to be doin'
and the music and the house is SO groovin...

I wanna dance the night away
it's just a party, so now come with me

“Boogie Town” - FLB (Fat Larry’s Band)

 I like dollar records. I enjoy finding the gems and jams amongst what people have decided have no value. My plan for this site is share a few of the things that I find. At this point, I have no intention to keep the songs posted restricted to a specific genre; the only connection between them will be that I have paid no more than a dollar or two for them. Hope you enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first track is “Boogie Town” the A side from the Boogie Town 12”  by FLB. This is a pretty fun electronic disco track from 1978 that features some killer vocoder. It’s definitely a summer jammer.
