SuperJubilation!

Description

SuperJubilation!, sub-titled 22 Favorite Jesus Music Songs from 22 Great Albums!, is a multi-artist double album compilation released on Myrrh Records in 1977, a division of Word. It is the third and final album released by Myrrh Records as a part of their Jubilation! Series, as well as the 100th LP to be produced by the label. The two other compilations, entitled Jubilation! and Jubilation, Too!, were released in 1975 and 1976, respectively.

In 1977 Myrrh also did release a rock oriented compilation entitled Power Music (sub-titled Rock Music With A New Dimension!) as well as the compilation Great Great Joy.

Two more discs, twenty-two more songs, all album tracks. Begins to show the new softer pop direction that Myrrh was leaning towards. Some copies reported to be on yellow vinyl. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
