Slide man/guitarist Al Perkins produces and teams up with these guys from the UK to record an album that sounds a lot like a mixture of the Monkees, Beatles, Stones and the Byrds with a slight aggressive touch. Very catchy and likeable but doomed for the cut-out bins.But It Sounds Like A Pop band that blended together the sound of bands like The Beatles, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and The Byrds. The band featured Al Perkins, and four additional members from the UK. They only released one album and have basically remained a footnote in Christian music.

Only two of us were from the UK. In 1969 we were signed by the Beatles to Apple Records. and ten years later in 1979 we received 'Album of the Year'Award from Campus Life Magazine. RCA Records even tried to sign us to a Pop deal that same year. Unfortunately the Christian Record Company "Spirit" went bankrupt a few months after the release of our record. We disbanded and and I went to work for Bob Dylan and then released a solo album "Crowning of a Simple Man" (Dave Kelly). We have just put up a Facebook page where you can hear and buy all the music - Facebook.com/thechristianbadfinger Come over and visit us. We'd love to see you.
I loved this album on its release, and used to play cuts from it when working as an announcer on a secular radio station. (And I got away with playing Christian rock, believe it or not!)
Sadly, I lost my only copy of the album in a house fire back in 2003. I'd love to find another copy of it somewhere.
Hello, this page is very inspiring. I would like to offer myself in creating a free church website.
Thanks.
