Notes
♫
AB LP 777 came with a four-page insert; it was released with
pink and with beige labels.
♫
On this album Larry Norman takes a humorous/satirical look at
the early 70's "religious pop music" trend. It does not feature any
original Larry Norman compositions, just cover versions of rather
well-known songs. Randy Stonehill plays the role of a DJ (as Surf
Duke). The album was probably recorded in 1976, as this year is
given on the CD release; on the back cover of the album Larry Norman
gives an introduction to the album which mentions 1974!
♫
Larry Norman plays the role of a DJ on the extra CD tracks
(as The Big Bomber); he's not present on the Phydeaux tape. At the
end of the CD, Larry Norman mentions the song "Jesus Was A Cross
Maker" (written by Judee Sill). The song is not there but it can be
found as "Sweet Silver Angels" on the CD "Agitator
- The Essential, volume 2"
♫
On the Phydeaux tape, "The Road And Sky" can be found at the
end of side 1, "I Am Waiting" at the end of side 2. Both have short
introductions. "Shine A Light" on the Phydeaux tape is approximately
40 seconds shorter than on the other releases.
♫
On the CD itself and on the CD back cover the number SRD-030
is given. This must be a mistake, since SRD-030 is the number of the
original CD version of "White Blossoms From Black Roots"
♫
"The Road And Sky" is the title given on the cassette, while
the CD gives this title as "The Road And The Sky."
♫
There has been mention of "Streams Of White Light Part 2 and
Part 3" but they were never
released.
