MARANATHA
"MARANATHA"
PRIVATE PRESS
X-ian hippie rock with equal mix of hard guitar and moody acoustic numbers. Although they're from the opposite end of the country, New Jersey's Maranatha has that same longhaired homegrown west-coast guitar psych sound as Spokane's Wilson McKinley. In fact, I might go so far as to say that Soon is on equal footing with the classic "Spirit of Elijah" - it's that good. Guitarist Charlie Rizzo would later emerge with the more Southern-edged Emmaus Road Band, but here the style seems much more garage angled and hippie jamming. ... An insanely rare private press and easily one of the top US Christian monsters.
FROM THE BACK COVER -"Maranatha (Lord come quickly) is composed of seven men who had been entangled in a search for meaning to life; a search for reason. This odyssey touched paths of mysticism; led us through the sub-culture of drugs; included radical politics. The pilgrimage has ended. We have received new life."

SHIPPING COSTS:
United States: Calculated (Priority Mail) plus $1 Buck for Packing Supplies
Canada: $8 (Air Mail)
Europe, Asia & Everywhere Else: $14 (Air Mail)
If buying multiple items, the charge is as above for the first item, plus $3.00 for each additional item.
I do not ship using Surface Mail and do not misrepresent items on customs slips, so please don't ask. I use ONLY Priority Mail for shipping in the U.S. because of previous problems with Media Mail. SORRY, NO MEDIA MAIL. When shipping records (especially in the summer months), keeping a record (even a smartly packaged one) in the hands of the Post Office for any extended amount of time greatly increases the chances of damage to the product. I use Priority Mail because it gets the record to the customer faster. LPs are packed VERY WELL using new, professional quality BAGS UNLIMITED record mailers. The LP is always removed from it's sleeve to prevent seam splits. The charge stated covers the cost of the mailers and the Priority Mail rate.
