Item Description

WITNESS GOSPEL BAND

Together

1978 NICRO K 091078

Ultra Rare Xian Private Pressing Acid Folk

From my personal collection.

Only a handful of these have ever turned up, the only one I ever saw sold for 227 and I have not seen one since.

This record is reviewed on the Ancient Star Song website which provides information and reviews into many Christian albums and records of folk and rock from the golden era. Their review can be read below:-
Charming unknown British male/female folk custom from East Anglia, England. This is the edgier more interesting variety of UK folk, echoing the home-grown style of groups like Aslan, Carpenter s Apprentice and Sanctus. From guitar/banjo pickers I m Gonna Write A Song , John Denver s Grandma s Feather Bed to upbeat flute-accompanied acoustic janglers Sussex Carol , Building A Wall , Are You Walking to simple guitar ballads Halos Of Gold . Dreamy flute, resonating finger cymbals and fragile harmonies bring an entrancing folk/psych mood to White Dove , a direct bulls-eye on the sound of those big dollar UK privates. Other instruments include auto-harp, mandolin and bongos. They do a couple songs off fellow countrymen The Advocates first album: Miracle and No Man s Land , the latter a boogie blues-rocker with entertaining primitive electric rhythm guitar. Includes covers of John Stewart s Armstrong and Peter, Paul Mary s Leaving On A Jet Plane . Also known as The Witness Gospel Band.

I described this LP as a mix of acoustic folk which also includes electric guitar and flute as well as percussion, bongos and mandolin. Some tracks have a nice acid folk feel to them such as Sussex Carol and White Dove with nice flute etc and then No Mans Land is a bluesy boogey styled track.

This may be your only chance to own this LP so get it while you can.

CONDITION

VINYL:- EXCELLENT

The vinyl is clean and shiny and has clearly hardly been played although there are some light hairline type marks. When played it sounds fantastic with very little background crackle and has nice clear audio, sounds better than many private pressings.

COVER:- VERY GOOD

The cover looks good and has a laminated front which has helped to protect it. The unlaminated rear sleeve does have some ageing and is a bit grubby with some dirt and some age spots but is overall in very good condition.

This is one of numerous LP s that I am forced to sell at the moment. They are generally 40-50 years old and range from Mint to Good, the vast majority are VG to EX and play fine but I just don t have the time to check them all and play them. As a result I will describe them as best as I can but if I don t describe that they have been play tested then they have not been so, and if I state that a record has had a quick test play that means I have listened to parts to check the sound quality and not that I have listened to the entire LP from start to finish to count crackles I will try and describe the visual condition of the records as best as I can, I have 25 years experience of grading but please note that marks don t dissapear in the post and as they are old vinyl records there will be some static crackles on even unplayed records so please bear this in mind, the are not CD s I will not describe normal background crackle in descriptions but will refund less return postage cost if I have made an error in a description. Good luck and keep an eye out on my auctions.
