Description
Original 1973 US private pressing on Clear Light Productions (Newton MA) (catalog # CL 2-101), with gatefold sleeve. Yellow Labels
Sleeve is VG with some shelf wear and seam splits. Front looks good, a small print tear on the back.
Records are VG. They would be VG+ with a few paper scuffs but there is a small feeable scratch on side one. No skips, I play tested and there is an audible click on part of track 3 and 4. More audible on 4.
Wild and epic private Xian rock musical double-album from the Boston multimedia Christian collective Clear Light. Some bombastic hard-prog tunes with psych moves, heavy fuzz and crazy time changes (such as "Journey to Calvary"), some period Jesus funk-rock with horns, even one really out 'n funky horned out poly-rhythmic instrumental ("Overture") with drum and bass that starts off straight out of Factory Records circa 1979 and ends up on the cutting room floor of a Fred Williamson flick... think "UFO" by ESG crossed with "Theme from S.W.A.T." Ridiculous!From Clear Light founder Eric Anderson's biography: "This Christian start-up company was founded by some friends from Park Street Church to use multi-media to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to secular man. We used banks of slide projectors and other devices to do this, along with rock music. We got tossed out of Park Street Church for using rock music!"
