Description
NOTE: Those of you who believe in prayer, please keep Mike Johnson in prayer. Recently I have heard that he is having serious health problems.
This is an original SEALED LP by the Exkursions band from Chicago. Great blues rock with 60's psych guitars. LP was released about 1971
Here is a review from Ken Scott's Book "The Archivist."
"High octane power rock trio absolutely blitzes through eight tunes of heavy blues-influenced material in the vein of Hendrix and Cream. The production is top-notch and the guitars shine forth loud and mean.. "Baby You Lied," a love-gone-bad slow blues rocker sounds like one of those lengthy Derek and the Dominoes tracks and features wild stereo separation... "Third Eye," after starting with some bizarre psycho-babble, breaks into a minute-and-a-half electric guitar jam."
To quote from "The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music" by Mark Allan Powell:
"A pioneer of the Jesus Movement, Mike Johnson made some of the world's very first Christian rock music. He became an original member of the Mike Bloomfield Blues Band, and then went on to be lead guitarist for the now legendary groups Electric Flag and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band."
The members of the band are: Mike Johnson, Fyl Jonnzen and Leon Wilson.
PLEASE READ: Although the LP is sealed, all the copies I have seen were pressed on very thin vinyl. Not sure if all Exkursions albums were pressed this way. Because this was a thin pressing, it seems like many of the albums have a "crackly" ( static ) sound.
Does anyone have these albums listed below ??
Caedmon - Caedmon 1978 UK LP
Latter Rain - Latter Rain 1976 private LP
Morning Star - Message From The Throne 1975 LP from Minnesota
Vindication - Vindication private LP from Indiana 1973?
If you have any of these albums, please email me at Tinmancafe@aol.com Thanks !
Wanted - Weird Stories !! I am also looking for weird and odd stories regarding Christian concerts, Christian bands and Christian records.
Example 1: Regarding the Exkursions album, I once met a guy who had hundreds of Exkursions LP's stored in his car outdoors ! As you can imagine, most of the records were warped and destroyed by mold. As far as I know, he might still have those LP's in his car !! OUCH !! ( NOTE : The sealed LP I am selling DID NOT come from that car !! )
Example 2: How many of you remember Randy Matthews? Those of you who do recall his classic Jesus Music from the 70's and 80's, did you know that his band was unplugged by the staff at a Christian Music festival ? Yup.., that was back in 1974 at the Jesus '74 festival in Pennsylvania. I was there !! OUCH !!
Example 3: Information I have received from a source is that about 10 or 15 years ago, SEALED copies of the Vindication LP were tossed into the trash by members of the band's family ! Today that album can fetch over $1,000 !! OUCH !!!
Due to health problems and other problems, I'm selling off most of my Christian music collection. Most of the rare LP's are gone. I used to own all 3 Wilson Mckinley albums back in the 70's. I gave all 3 away FREE at a college. The only thing I still have by Wilson Mckinley is the original rare cassette titled "Country In The Sky."
I also used to own LP's by Concrete Rubber Band, All Saved Freak Band, Agape, etc !!
