...maybe a little BOOGIE? Something to beat the blues of this hard last year and remind us why we all love music? Albatross Baby from the JAM JAM EP by GospelbeacH is HERE!

 I think it's safe to say if you're a friend of Curation Records then MUSIC is important to you and it's one of the beautiful things in life that GIVES SO MUCH and asks very little in return...it wants to be shared with friends...passed down to future generations...it wants to be listened too from time to time, whether it's breaking out the dusty cassette player and taping some broken tape together to hear your favorite mixtape from a special time, or playing that holy grail pristine A++++ mint vinyl record store find even though you may have 5 copies of Notorious Byrd Brothers (yes, I do) or clicking that lonely SoundCloud link of your friend's album that you haven't got around to listening to yet (click that link-don't just hit "LIKE"). 

        MUSIC GIVES - MUSIC CARES a lot of us find happiness in sad songs because they reflect the healing or the loving feeling that we are mourning the loss of. But for my money, NOTHING beats that upbeat tune that raises the hairs, the goosebumps THE VIBES...it's like climbing into a TIME MACHINE and tapping into that feeling of your first dance or your first kiss or your first concert or your first KISS CONCERT (yes, my first concert 1976...don't bother counting the years)

       That is part of the spirit of our new GospelbeacH covers EP JAM JAM - We choose songs that perhaps your hearing for the first time but sound so timeless that they shoulda all been #1's - We will share more about the recording and the musicians but for today THIS FRIDAY MARCH 5TH 2021 LETS ALL CLAP our hands and STOMP our feet..."It's been a long, long time at sea..."  with all my heart and on behalf of the whole CURATION FAMILY we THANK YOU and wish you LOVE,

BRENT
