There is a God Somewhere by Andrew Wartts and The Gospel Storytellers is one of the best gospel albums ever.

So, I have the vinyl reissue he himself (?) brought out in limited quantities.But there was meant to be a full commercial vinyl and CD reissue via Egon and Now Again some years ago which did not happen because they had a falling out if I understood correctly? Does anyone know the full story?

Andrew released the reissue after the OG blew up and it started selling for good money. Several articles were written about the album and collectors were hot after copies. I'm happy that he was able to get some money in the end from it before he passed.

Damn, so many big ones lately. Always seems to happen around the holidays.

I had an early 1985 copy of Blues & Soul magazine in my hands this weekend.

Jason Palma did a proper tribute to Mtume a couple of weeks back on Higher Ground - “pure magic” (off some x-men/raida tape bitd...)
