[Note printed on the back of the LP sleeve]
Jesus Power. Jesus People. Jesus Sound Explosion. Jesus Loves You. Just keeping track of the album titles from this era drives ya batty. Kicking off with a “Gimme a J !” Jesus cheer, the bulk of this mostly live LP was recorded at the Hollywood Palladium. Rockers oughta be tickled to see three tunes by Ron Salsbury & the JC Power Outlet in top form, only one of which appears on their studio albums. But the real winner here is Morning Star Gospel Rock Band cranking out a real raw hard-rocker. Harvest Flight’s two tunes are actually studio cuts from their Destiny LP, as is the Wedgwood song. Gentle Persuasion provides a pair of more traditional gospel numbers. A few raps, a couple audience sing-alongs where they forget the words and sing out of sync reality I guess. Uneven, a bit sloppy at times but some fine tuneage amongst the dreg. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]

Youths Following Another ‘Radical’PHOENIX – A national magazine has discovered that California kids by the tens of thousands are suddenly hurling themselves at the feet of another radical leader.
An over-30 this time, but he comes equipped with the usual shoulder-length hair, a strange white robe and unorthodox footwear.
It’s just the California kids now, but don’t be complacent. Movements born in California boil over and flow east as surely and naturally as a surfer off San Diego.
So don’t be surprised when it happens in your town. There are symptoms to look for, dead giveaways that the new cult has captured another kid.
Naturally, they have their secret sign: the forefinger pointing up. When flashed to strangers – as it often is – it serves both as a statement and a question: “I Belong. Do you?”
Look also for physiological changes. Affected youngsters reportedly appear to “have a glow on” and exhibit almost a blind, faithful assurance. Almost like they’re on pot.
But pot doesn’t figure in their bylaws. The kids claim just knowing their leader is all the high they can stand.
Move over, people. There’s a new leader in the West – and the West just isn’t big enough to hold him.
His name is Jesus Christ.
