Over the years, a substantial body of work was produced in our city, but those recordings are in danger of being lost forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Louisville Story Program has been working with dozens of people in the local gospel music community to locate, digitize, and preserve hundreds of these recordings and to develop a book that documents and honors the legacies of the people and communities that produced them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor decades, the passion, hard work, and support of countless people across dozens of Black church communities in Louisville have nurtured and sustained a rich gospel music ecosystem. This music has served as a central part of people's religious practice and as an expression of Black pride, joy, affirmation, love, dignity, determination, and hope. This legacy continues to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith support from The Owsley Brown II Family Foundation and Owsley Brown III Philanthropic Foundation, LSP has partnered with members of the gospel community and a local advisory group of local gospel historians and luminaries:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo locate, clean, and digitize gospel records of local artists released by small local labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo accompany the local Black gospel music community in developing a 4 CD box set that includes a 200+ page hardcover book with first-person documentation of their rich history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo create an accompanying double LP featuring 26 of those songs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo create and maintain a public-facing digital archive of 1,000 songs and 1,000 photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo celebrate the final release with a large concert at the Brown Theatre (September 28, 2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in two formats: 2xLP on black vinyl or 4xCD box set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP features 26 newly restored tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP housed in a old school tip-on gatefold jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4xCD box set features 83 lovingly restored tracks and includes a 208-page book documenting Louisville's rich Black gospel music legacy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess to a comprehensive digital archive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: Images one through five showcase the 2LP format, while all subsequent images display the 4xCD box set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e LSP001 -Artist-Various Artists\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53428025458872,"sku":"T4KTWN-YEXU-L6","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/various-artists-im-glad-about-it-the-legacy-of-gospel-music-in-louisville_gfftF.png?v=1777679890","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/various-artists-im-glad-about-it-the-legacy-of-gospel-music-in-louisville","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
