Like he knows!

Made in Houston, Tx.   1970!

From the back cover:   “This message discusses the uniqueness of the female nature, VD, abortion, and the subtle way in which the modern style of women’s clothing reduces precious womanhood to the status of cattle on the auction block.   Every single teen-age girl and young married woman should hear this message.”

Cruz control

img_0510.JPG

“Nicky Cruz was running wild on a one-way street to the electric chair and hell!   Millions know him from The Cross and the Switchblade as well as his own book Run Baby Run.  Nicky Cruz shares his full life story on this special record. ”

Nice primitive painting of a multiple murder juxtaposed by the sunny, smiling face of former JD, born again Cruz.   Kids do the craziest things sometimes.

No more long lines at the airport

flightfinal.jpg

This from Bob Selcoe of NewJazz Records: An absolute CLASSIC of the weirdo outsider genre – a “dramatic” comparison of death and heavenly ascendance using the metaphor of an airplane trip! It’s a recorded “play”, with a full cast, airplane sound effects, and “angelic” music provided by the Trevecca Nazarene College choirs. Brainchild of Evangelist Forrest McCullough, who wrote, produced and acts as “narrator”. Inspired while on an airliner the day following his father’s funeral. I can’t do justice describing it – you’ve gotta hear it to believe it! Original private-press with no label (surprisingly, it was later issued on the Word label).

Save my soul music

I bet the “Reverend in Rhythm” Father Robert White can really bust a move when he gets off the pipe.

Crying Demons Crying Demons Crying Demons  A. A. Allen  Miracle Revival Records

This is just amazing. Was on my want list for a long time. This is the quintessential over-the-top, tent revival preacher, miracle worker put on. The record is by AA Allen who made many of these bible belt recordings with the “actual sounds”  of exorcism and healing. This one is from the fifties and came in a neat blood red vinyl. The guy on the cover is laughable and goofy. Others in this genre can get pretty ugly. I’ll show you some in the future.
