Description
The Folk Group at Saint Christopher's LP
Original 1971? stereo custom pressing issued by RPC (Recorded Publications Company) (catalog # AZ 99591). Comes in a generic cover (very unlikely it ever came with cover art.)Here's a pretty amazing unknown private press Christian hippie folk-rock LP. Custom pressed in New Jersey, it is likely from St. Christopher's in Parsippany, NJ, and most certainly early 1970's if not 1970.
Real sweet female vocals throughout (in a West Coast psych/Jefferson Airplane vein -- a few songs have a guy singing too) along with acoustic and electric guitars and some real crazy bongo drums and tambourine. Very amateurish lo-fi recording adds to the charm of this super-sincere and unaffected DIY music. Many of the songs start with liturgical verses set to a groove and then drift into extended jams, with the bongo drummer and someone playing ridiculous leads on 12-string guitar taking center stage. Even the folk-rock covers here -- like George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord", Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sounds Of Silence", Bob Dylan's "Blow'n in the Wind, "Aquarius" from HAIR -- sound more like improvised jams than the actual songs they're covering.
This is primarily an acoustic record, the electric guitar on here is someone repetitively playing quiet rudimentary, impressionistic patterns, like the dreamy opening to "Lamb of God":
