Gospelfolk - Prodigal (1969)



I bought this for £2.50 up in Glasgow and it's apparently worth about 50 times that, so GERRITUPYE! Chilled Xian psych from Scotland with a bit of organ and fuzz, and some folky moments, but mainly in a solid 67-68 Byrdsy vein. Allegedly only 99 copies pressed, but I've heard that might be false. Some (presumably unintentional) Velvetsy vibes on this, and typical naive Christian hippy lyrics. Sorry for the crackle on my copy, but I think I'm the first to rip this so quit complaining.

Stanford Folk - Presenting Stanford Folk (1977)




Custom (?) 7" of square xian folk courtesy of two married couples. "Put Your Hand in the Hand" is a tad twee, but endearing, and as much as I enjoy the performance of "I Don't Know How To Love Him", I could do without having "Rice/Webber" credited on any record I own. However, the middle 2 songs, "Sing Halleluya" and "Babylon" are gorgeous slices of earnest christfolk, with the pure female vocals being a particular treat, especially on the latter. This was worth the 50p I paid for it.

PEACE BE WITH YOU

Feral Gospel



Little comp I put together of raw gospel, both known and obscure. Usual religious disclaimers apply.

Had this in the favourites for a while and need to share it. Just LISTEN to that stuff...
