Description
Up for auction is a Rare 45 with Picture Sleeve of Earthen Vessel on NRS Label # 591. The titles are "Life Everlasting" which is about 6 minutes long. It is backed with "You Can" which is 4 minutes and 37 seconds. This is from the very desirable Christian Rock / Psychedelic LP "Hard Rock". Condition of the 45 is VG+ with only a few light scratches but none that affect the play of the record. The Picture Sleeve is a paper sleeve and not the normal glossy sleeve with some 45's. Condition of the sleeve is VG with some light wear around the edges and minor ring wear. There is also one slight bend in the upper corner and a small 1/2 inch seam split at the bottom. I've searched for this particular 45 and have not found it anywhere on the net. I would think that it is as hard to find as the album. For anyone who collects music that has some fuzz guitar or psychedelic feeling in it, this would make a great addition. Starting bid is $24.99
The following is an excerpt written by Keith Pettipas:
The Earthen Vessel was formed in 1970 in Lansing, Michigan by Leon Morton a tenor with a local Gospel Quartet. Originally known as The Rare Ones, the band soon changed names to The Earthen Vessel after a biblical reference. The band combined Christian philosophy with psychedelic rock music to forge a new genre in American music. In the early 70's Christian music was brought into the forefront because of the popularity of such rock musicals as Jesus Christ Superstar, The Survival Of Saint Joan and Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and young musicians discovered that they could still play rock and be true to their Christian ideals. The Earthen Vessel was one such band that broke the traditional mold of what religious music should sound like. The band became popular in the Midwest and toured a number of University campuses, high schools and anti-drug rallies through out early 1971 . In the fall of 1971 the band recorded an album of original material in Nashville's Monument Studios that was released on the small NRS Records label. The music on the album consisted of six hard rock psychedelic songs that praised the Lord in the lyrics while rocked out in the music. While the music had a clear message of love peace and God's word, it was not accepted by many church leaders because of the hard rock sound of the songs and the band subsequently broke up a short time later.
