Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MEGA RARE 1971 ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS ACID ARCHIVES *PLUS* RATING!

~MARANATHA~
"SOON"
USA - PRIVATE PRESS
FINAL COLLECTION COPY
Original 1971 micro-private pressing and considered an artifact "collection prize" when talking about Christian inspired underground rock rarities. Bottom line: these guys had the "right" sound and in-the-know collectors dig their work...
Strong copy of this highly rated private pressing from New Jersey. It starts out as a fairly humble Christian folkrock LP, then gradually lays on its jamming guitar-rock, reaching outstanding heights. Never reissued, and extremely hard to find - the few and far between past available copies have pulled down some seriously heavy three figure$ bread... .
Although they’re from the opposite end of the country, New Jersey’s Maranatha has that same long-haired home-grown west-coast guitar psych sound as Spokane’s Wilson McKinley. In fact "Soon" is on equal footing with the classic Spirit Of Elijah — it’s that good. Guitarist Charlie features a style much more garage angled and hippie jamming. Highlights include the Loud hard-rock electric action on ‘Maranatha’, ‘Resurrection’, ‘Deeper Than The
Mighty Rolling Sea’, and ‘Coming Of The Lord’, while ‘Do You Know My Jesus’,
‘Let Us Rise’ and ‘Amen’ explore more of a moody sound. Elsewhere, there is some fun lively “Johnny B Goode’—styled and rocked-out activity on “I Found Jesus’. Overall, an insanely rare private press and easily one of the top US Christian monsters.

CONDITION: The cover: rated: "EX" (excellent) thick old-style cardboard cover. Consider to be a top copy since the dark cover wears SO easily, hard to find a better copy as this one is a final collection copy, barely with visible use. There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... VERY collection worthy appearance ...
The vinyl: Rated: M- TOP COPY, thick platter has loads of clean shine all over both sides. Enjoyable clean audio throughout. Both private press labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
SEE: SELLERS OTher items for similar cool sounds for "head" people...
