Original LP release from Leaf River, Sonshine, issued in 1971 by Arrow Records (2002).  LP would grade close to near mint except for a smattering of storage/sleeve marks that in no way affect play; visual grade of a strong VG+.  Cover is also a solid VG+ or better.

Ken Scott’s Archivist sums up this excellent effort well:

“Obscure California band’s first-rate venture into early Jesus Music country-rock sound, soon to be popularized by groups like The Way and Love Song.  Good natural outdoor feel, usually with just acoustic/electric guitars, bass and drums, plus samplings of banjo and steel guitar.  No keyboards, strings, brass, etc.  “Tell Me More’ cranks things up pretty good, though for the most part this is not a loud album.  Nice subtle rural/psych edge ala Rainbow Promise on ‘Jesus Of Nazareth’.  Other original titles include ‘He’s The Way’, ‘Don’t Let The Devil Get You Down’, ‘The Beast’ and ‘Shoulder To Cry On/Goodbye, Goodbye’.  Also faithful covers of the Flying Burito Brothers’ ‘Sin City’ (on which they sound like the Flying Burito Brothers, not surprisingly) and Larry Norman’s ‘I Wish We’d All Been Ready’.  One of the members is Jon Linn (bass, lead guitar), later to become a prominent session guitarist on many Larry Norman and Solid Rock records.  Simple black-on-yellow cover with primitive hand-drawn art and graphics – definitely has that local look.  Reported to be a 300 press item.”
