Description

"AGAPE- VICTIMS OF TRADITION"

1972 Renrut Label AGAPE 101 label

The condition of the cover is VG+.  It's still mostly in the shrink wrap but does have a 1 1/2" center spine split, overall still quite nice!  The condition of the disc is VG with considerable scuffs and light marks.  It plays through OK with some surface but absolutely no skips.  

Agape’s second album is a  very different but equally good work.  'Victims Of Tradition' has a more complex song structure than the debut –  more of a progressive feel with keyboards (courtesy of Jim Hess) playing a bigger role, even delving into jazz fusion on ‘Jazz Jam (Part 1)’ and ‘You Reap What You Sow’.  As far as heaviness goes though, the album still hits just as hard.  ‘Wouldn’t It Be A Drag’ is my favorite here: a lengthy seven-minute outing that includes a two-minute drum solo, as well as solos for bass (from newcomer Richard Greenburg), guitar and electric piano before culminating in cacophonous bursts of noise. ‘The King Is Christ’ is a beautiful predominately acoustic piece – it almost sounds like the guitar solo was recorded backwards.  ‘Change Of Heart’ keeps that heavy Hendrix blues-rock sound alive.  As with 'Gospel Hard Rock', this is lyrically very evangelistic.  Not just God-loves-you slogans – these guys present the gospel.  Much rarer than their debut and thus selling for mucho dinero these days.  Classic black and white cover photo of the band playing their instruments in a graveyard.  Not many LP's around that sound this unique, creative and on fire!
