PASTOR T.L. BARRETT and the YOUTH FOR CHRIST CHOIR - I Shall Wear A Crown 5LP BOX
Limited edition "Joyful White and Gold" colour vinyl.
A Civil Rights activist who marched alongside Jesse Jackson, preacher for Earth Wind and Fire, Stax recording artist, 'Family Feud' contestant, Stephen Curry soundtracker, high school drop out, and Kanye samplee, Pastor T. L. Barrett stuffed a dozen lives into one.
His signature 1971 spiritual soul jam 'Like A Ship' has transcended its humble South Side Chicago beginnings, rediscovered by Leon Bridges and Beck and described by Radiohead's Colin Greenwood as 'The most euphoric celebratory music that makes you want to jump around the house and explode with joy.'
This box is the definitive statement on Barrett's two decades of recordings, 49 tracks spread across five LPs, including Like A Ship, Do Not Pass Me By Volume 1 and 2, I Found The Answer, plus a bonus album of singles and sermons, a 10,000 word blow-by-blow, and illustrated discography.
