David and Goliath / Love Is [7-inch single]

Description

“David and Goliath” – b/w “Love Is” – is a two-sided 7-inch vinyl single by the American singer and songwriter Barry McGuire, released on Myrrh Records in September 1973, a division of Word (catalogue number MS-119). Both tracks taken from McGuire’s full-length album Seeds released on Myrrh the same year, recorded and mixed by Buck Herring and Wally Duguid at Sunwest Recording Studios in Hollywood, California; with Herring producing. The track on the A-side was written by Mike Deasy, while the flip-side was co-written by Barry McGuire and Tim Buttram. (“Love Is” was originally recorded by Agape Force on their self-titled 1972 album, with Barry McGuire on lead vocals.)

Barry McGuire, to be produced by Buck Herring, will have a single and an album out almost at once, the first of which will be titled «David and Goliath». Myrrh has been a fast-moving label since its inception within the past year, featuring a top-40 brand of “Jesus Rock.”
