Eddie Holman United New Gospel release on Charly

[Eddie Hubbard]

This Eddie Holman Gospel album was originally released in the USA on Agape Records in the mid 80’s and on Charly Records in the UK around the same time .There must be some demand judging by the prices on Discogs ,and now Charly have reissued it to satisfy that demand .It was recorded at Sigma Sound in Philly ,with musicians such as Norman Harris and Ronnie Baker providing the backing tracks .There are 7 tracks on the album with Eddie’s trademark  tenor and falsetto  vocals soaring beautifully as always .The dancer “ Holy Ghost “ is a standout track ,and the lilting  “ Eternal Love “ is stunning vocally .The sleevenotes by Tony Cummings are exemplary,covering both sides of the inner sleeve .

Seem to recall that the original Charly release didn't sell out at the time (85) & that copies were around in1986 for around £1 a copy. How it has gone from there to it's current selling price (£150 to £250 / copy) I have no idea.  

He's about to tour here again though, so no doubt that has increased demand for lots of his old releases, this LP included I guess.
