Christian Rhythm Festival

(Click on image for larger view)

Here's a CD-R compilation that Ed Nadorozny has put together for the garagepunk.com forum members. Yep! It's Christian-themed rock and roll from the 'sixties! Ed's similar retrospective on THE PILGRIMS was top-notch, so I have high hopes for this one as well.

I made up the above insert in anticipation of receiving the disc. Here's the track listing along with some brief notes from Ed:

Notes:

The Cusaders cuts were sent in as demos to Herald records but group was turned down by label.

Tonny Mossop had a hit in the 70's with Red Red wine.

Members of the Crusaders & Soul Seekers & Pilgrims formed a group in 1969 called "Out of darkness".

The Soul Seekers were British Jamaicans.
