Life In Heaven Is Free - Checker Gospel 1961 - 1973
Life In Heaven Is Free: Checker Gospel 1961-1973 is a top-notch gospel-soul compilation from the golden era of Checker Records, a Chess label offshoot. Carefully compiled by Honest Jon's, this double LP comes in a heavyweight gatefold sleeve with spot varnish and includes a beautifully designed booklet. The collection showcases raw, heartfelt performances with a gritty, live feel that speaks directly to the political and social struggles of the 1960s and '70s.
