    **Co-curated by Greg Belson! An extensive, sumptuous survey of surely the mightiest Gospel label of them all, Savoy. Drawn from nigh-impossible-to-find 78s, sevens, twelves and LPs, hardly any of these recordings, perhaps none, have been reissued since their first release.**

    Volume three: seventeen gems of fierce funk, rapturous soul and transcendent disco and boogie, super-charged with celebration and affirmativeness, loaded with roaring choirs, rocking horns and popping bass guitars, from the years leading up to Savoy’s acquisition by Malaco.

    Some seriously rare cuts here; for instance, the stupendous opener by Edith Moreno only appeared as a blank-label promo, in a tiny run.
