Description
The Anointed -- God Is Alive LP
Original 1972 US stereo private pressing on Anointed Records (catalog # MA12-A1-72). NOTE: condition issues (see below.)Obscure and incredibly rare early 70's private Xian folk-psych LP from the Messianic cult based around the Christian guru Brother Julius. These are hippies and Jesus freaks from all over the Northeast who took up with their messiah Brother Julius on his commune in New Jersey. There's some stirling a-little-too-real-people Xian folk on here, with nice psych flourishes, all originals and actually many very well-written and quite memorable songs.
For the underside of Brother Julius, see: http://www.believersweb.org/view.cfm?ID=594
The only reference on the web to this LP is one WFMU playlist from last year, and on that show it was actually this copy which was played. You can hear "The Good Shepherd" from that FMU show here (it starts a little into this clip): http://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=38472&archive=65686&starttime=1:14:41

We could care less!We have taken the name THE ANOINTED because we have found THE MESSIAH! HE IS THE SON OF GOD.
Because of OUR NEW LIVES IN CHRIST, we have been INSPIRED TO WRITE AND SING ORIGINAL SONGS given to us by The Holy Spirit, that we humbly, but proudly, present IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD, THE MESSIAH GOD, to you our listening public.
We are introducing A NEW SOUND into the world. It expresses our freedom from all things belonging to Satan. WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THE MESSIAH.
AND HE HAS COME AGAIN TO THE EARTH IN OUR TWENTIETH CENTURY AMONG THE GENTILES.
WE KNOW HIM AS BROTHER JULIUS OF DOVER, NEW JERSEY. We invite all who hear this sound, not to be skeptical, incredulous, close-hearted, and unbelieving, that what we have written is anything but the absolute truth!
We attribute all of our talents and accomplishments for the blessing of mankind to our GOD, THE MESSIAH, BROTHER JULIUS.
CONDITION: Cover G- / Vinyl G- pretty beat-up but playable copy -- the cover is worn and mostly split at top and bottom seams; vinyl has some wear, a few light surface scratches, there's an unusual kind of light and flat warp (it's damage from heat but it is not warped at a curl, the grooves are just distorted at one secion) at the extreme edge which may cause skips in the first track on each side -- I was able to get both sides to play through perfectly fine by adjusting the tonearm on my turntable -- listen to the tracks above to hear how two songs from this copy play -- not guaranteed for every song to play without skipping -- sold as-is. Graded conservatively using Goldmine standards [G / G+ / VG / VG+ / NM / ]grade only used if record is brand new.
Bid with confidence -- over 13000 positive feedbacks selling vinyl on eBay since 1998, with a total 12-year average of 100% positive.
Shipping And Payment Info
Vinyl can be shipped worldwide via any method.
I will combine shipping. Winners of multiple items save substantially on shipping costs.
Within the US: Media Mail shipping is calculated automatically based on weight. NOTE: Media Mail can be S-L-O-W sometimes, especially to the West Coast. Media Mail delivery time is usually anywhere from 4 to 10 days, but occasionally it takes 2 weeks or even longer to reach the West Coast from here. Please consider this potential delay before you decide to go with Media Mail instead of Priority Mail. Priority Mail is a highly recommended option for all vinyl, it's a lot faster and much more secure -- I double-box (and sometimes triple-box) all LP's shipped via Priority Mail. Cost is reasonable and calculated based on your zip code.
Shipping costs include delivery confirmation for all US orders.
- Combine shipping with other items: The cost of each extra item is calculated automatically based on weight: if you want to add a record or CD to your order the cost is less than $1, usually around 50 cents per extra item depending on total weight.
- Combine shipping with other items: If you want to add a normal-weight record (7", 12", or LP) or CD to your order the cost is reasonable, usually not more than $3.99 per extra item, often less, depending on total weight.
All records are packaged securely, protected by both stiff and cushion packaging, with vinyl (in original innersleeve) removed from cover and placed safely in poly sleeve to help prevent seam splitting during transit.
I can usually accommodate special shipping requests or special payment requirements, just ask.
