The Soul Stirrers- Soul's In... But Gospel's Out Of Sight-LP

• Format: LP

Soul's In...But Gospel's Out Of Sight by The Soul Stirrers offers a compelling glimpse into the group's transition from their gospel roots toward a sound that edges into more secular rhythms, with tracks like "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Freedom And Love" highlighting a thoughtful blend of spiritual and worldly themes. Featuring the voice of Sam Cooke before his solo fame, this record reflects a pivotal moment in the evolution of American vocal groups, where heartfelt conviction met emerging popular styles. The acoustic ensemble here is intimate yet purposeful, making for focused listening that rewards attention to the nuances of their harmonies and phrasing. This particular pressing is a promotional copy on vinyl, a format that suits collectors or listeners who appreciate the tactile experience of mid-century records. The vinyl itself is in very clean condition with only minor superficial marks that won’t affect play, so it’s ready to deliver the music without fuss. While the exact pressing year remains unknown, the shiny surface and solid VG++ grade mean this record is well cared-for and should sit nicely alongside other vintage finds. If your shelves are short on gospel-flavored gems that hint at the dawn of soul, this one fills the space with real historical resonance—proof that sometimes the spirit moves quietly but insistently.
