Description
Tom Mahairas:Seekers of the Truth (Janco/1972)
One side of beautiful haunting christian psychedelic folk from former drug user turned preacher. Mahairas' voice and guitar is backed by chamber orchestration similar to that used on the Arthur Lee Harper album. The second side of the LP is spoken word featuring Tom and his wife giving testimony on how they turned from drugs to religion; plenty of talk about drug use and someone who "went insane" on LSD. Might have some appeal to the fans of incredibly strange music.
A lyric insert is included. The cover is autographed by Mahairas with a reference to a passage from Romans.
This album is not listed in Ken Scott's Archivist and is probably better known among psych collectors, but is an essential for Xian collectors. It will likely be listed in the next update though (Ken bought the copy I offered here a year or so ago).
The cover is a strong VG+ (couple of corners slightly banged; some creasingnear lower right corner; slight hint of ringwear). What you see across the top of the photo is only glare. The music side look Ex (a small amount oflight hairline marks), play Mint minus. The spoken side looks VG+ (moderate amount of scuffing and hairlines), plays Ex (very occasional light crackling). The insert is Mint minus.
