WILSON McKINLEY
Heavens Gonna Be A Blast LP
from ACID archives:
Although nearly killed by a production snafu that sets the bass way out in front, this album happens to contain some of the group’s best songs. "Standin’ At The Crossroads", "He Made Us Free" and "Then I Fell In Love" all show the group in top form with lots of rock & roll energy and enthusiasm for Jesus, along with touches of CSN vocals and Grateful Dead boogie. Same spunky attitude on the lively title track which features an electric bass solo followed by a drum solo. "I’m Only Smilin" includes some jamming piano, while the heavy percussive angle of "On Stage" returns for "I Wish I Had The Words To Tell You". The electric piano introduced on "Spirit Of Elijah" returns for several songs including a couple of ballads. "Almighty God" closes the album with a hypnotic 6/8 jazzy psych groove. As for the cruddy production, I’ve gotten to love this record so much I don’t even notice it anymore. Besides, the sound is still better than on their first LP. The oversized Day-Glo cover with the colorful exploding graphics is certainly an eye-popper. Both red and yellow label copies have been found. The group had two later cassette-only releases: "Country in the sky" and "Yesterday/Forever", and also backed up Frank Starr on his LP "You Can't Disguise Religion" (1971). Earlier some members appeared on an exploito California Poppy Pickers LP. [KS]
condition: conservative VG: on oversize cover (slightly dirty - can likely be cleaned up pretty good with a soft white eraser, previous owner inscribed name on back of the cover with ball point pen - visible in photo / vg: vinyl has some cross groove light scuffs that are not obtrusive to the listening experience. there is also a VERY small deeper scratch on the last song that is audible on each rotation but it is minor. not a loud pop or anything.. definitely no skips....record has been vacuumed with vpi and sounds awesome)
