Elco Records (Sacramento CA) - SC-EC-5555 - Vinyl is EX7 with lite sleeve scuffs plays with very little background noise noticable between tracks and in some quiet passages - Cover is VG5 with lite storage wear on back with light tanning stain and ring wear on front. Corners have some bumps and fraying with 3" split at top and 1" at bottom opening. For one of the original 1000 made over 36 years ago this copy is a great find overall!!! The following information comes from the Azitis Web Site at www.geocities.com/azitis1970/AZITIS.htm "And the clouds surround us all"...Don Lower (From "Always Flowing"...Post ELCO Recording) Art Work by James Gardner, Instructor at American River College, in Sacramento California"'Creation' starts off with a dissonant organ crescendo, chanting, and wah-wah guitar. 'The Prophet' and 'From This Place' both reach frenzied intense peaks, while 'Hope To Save' brings in piano and acoustic guitar for a melodic ballad. Thematically, it covers a number of topics: creation, the fall, judgement day, and revelation." Ken Scott, Jesus music.org
AZITIS/HELP signed with ELCO Records (now defunct, all masters and copies surrendered to Don Lower in 1976) Sina G Music Publishing Co. (BMI) also surrendered all rights and ownership to MoDo Publishing (BMI)...P.O.Box 109, Palo Cedro CA 96073, at the same time.
With the Supervision of Roger Hamilton Spotts, engineers, LaMont Bench and R.S. Owens, at the Pavillion Studio's Inc. of Vallejo, California, the HELP album took shape. The arrangements followed a continuous path, only interrupted by the mandatory spaces between songs,(to the disappointment of the group, since re-mastered with no spaces between songs). Tells the story of Christian Mythology from Creation to Judgement. Designed as a "Rock Opera". Another first.
LP REVIEWS
"AZITIS/Help, is a stunning West Coast styled U.S. religious/mystical/psyche Brute" Delerium Records, England "There are probably fewer than ten oldies in existance that would get the official Ken Scott 5-star rating, and AZITIS is one of them. Every song is a winner here; strong melodies, gentle vocals, and moody passages with swirly organ that sound like they were lifted out of the middle of 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida'." Ken Scott, Jesus Music Org.
With a run of 1000 copies stopped due to Dennis Sullivan, who was suddenly struck with the smell of success, and fled from the group, leaving no reason or explanation. The band and the recording company were left scrambling for ways to salvage the production. It resulted in company losses, and contributed to it's eventual closure. The remaining three went on to add a new member, piecing together a solid group, but too late to keep the momentum going.Collectors have discovered this album and it has become a much sought after collectible. The on-line business EBAY has seen many LP's sold in the past few years. In fact the highest bid as of December 9, 2004 was made/sold to a British collector for the bid of $1401.00 outbidding a Japanese collector in the final seconds of the auction. Who would have thought? From the Liner Notes on their first album, AZITIS / HELPFrom long hours of hard work, revising, jamming, improvising and re-arranging, these four young men are only beginning to master an unmatched uniqueness in today's rapidly changing music scene. With a sound as original, there is no way to go but up. They write and arrange their own music and they know how to play it. They have a message to convey and they know how to say it. They are poetic, yet simple, deep, yet relaxing. Their music and lyrics have a strength and a power to them that suggests a sort of mystical realism that is maintained from the first note of the "Creation" of LORD I SAW YOU CRY to the fadding rhythm of JUDGEMENT DAY. There is no end to the realistic and new way they put their music across. signed: John Cole, President ELCO Records. Good clean listen of this ULTRA RARE LP with NO RESERVE!!!
