  AZITIS was A California quartet featuring "Don Lower" (vocals, bass guitar), "Michael Welch" (lead and rhythm guitar, flute), "Dennis Sullivan" (organ and piano), and "Steve Nelson" (vocals and drums). Originally known as Help , until threatened with legal action by The Britishband (On “DeccaRecords ")ofTheSame name they changed The name inAZITIS (pronounced "as-it-is"FromA referenceToThe biblical verse, "Thy will be doneOnEARTH [ AZITIS ] in heaven").
The band was First conceived in 1966 by Sacramento-area musicians "Don Lower" and "Steve Nelson".
"Don Lower" had cut HIS musical teeth playing in TwoofThe area's better 60s Garage Rock outfits, "The Cambridge Coroners" and "The Roadside Business", and after "Don Lower" with "Steve Nelson",TheTwo formed A songwriting partnership.
By 1969, The band had reachedA levelof quality that requiredThe productionofRecordedMUSIC .

After signing To Sacramento's own "Elco Records " in 1969,The enormous volumeof original songs made it difficultTo choose whichTo produce.
After many performances and audience reactions, Two compositions were chosen and A date was reservedFORThe recording session: "LIFE Worth Living" backed with "Questions Why".

From there, The four-piece changed its name ToAZITIS , and in 1971,Theband cut itsFirst and only full-length, "Help " ("ElcoRecords " SC-EC-5555, 1970), AChristianPsychedelic classic.
Swirling with mood-driven organ work and spirited vocals, " Help " is A full-blownPsychedelic affair.
Opening with The aptly titled " CREATION ", "Help " floats throughA seriesof biblical themes, includingThe case, judgmentDay andThe Revelation , backed by someofTheDay 's trippiest Fuzz guitars and most weirded-out phasing.
" Help " is OneofThe very bestChristian rockRecords .
This album reveals hidden depths with each listen. The dreamy, laid-back vibe will appeal To Psychedelic fans, but atFirst hidesThe abundanceof melodic ideas.
After A few listens You 'll be drawn in byThe excellent vocals, consistentSound and thoughtful lyrics.
It's often quite dark, but The groove isn't depressive.

With The supervision of "RogerHamilton Spotts", engineers, "LaMont Bench" and "RS Owens", atThe "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, (ToThe disappointmentofThe group, since re-mastered with no spaces between songs). Designed as A 'Rock Opera'.
With A run of1000 copies stopped dueTo "Dennis Sullivan", who was suddenly struck withThe smellof success, and fledFromThe group, leaving no reason or explanation.
AZITIS and The recording company were left scrambling FOR waysTo salvageThe production.
It resulted in company losses, and contributed To it's eventual closure. The remaining three went On To addA new members, piecing togetherA solid group, but too lateTo keepThe momentum going.
The addition of "Zeke Nuez", not only added A strong keyboardist, but also strong woodwinds,ToThe newSound .
AZITIS worked new material into The show, and toured WithoutThe supportofA discouraged record company. Finances were strained, and soon this group was dissolved.

From The liner notes On album:
" From Long hoursof hard work, revising, jamming, improvising and re-arranging, these four young men are only beginningTo master an unmatched uniqueness in today's rapidly changingMUSIC scene. With A Sound as original, there is no wayTo but go up. They write and arrange their own MUSIC and they Know howTo play it. They have A MESSAGETo convey and theyKnow howTo say it. They are poetic, yet simple, deep, yet relaxing. Their MUSIC and lyrics have A strength andA powerTo them that suggestsA sortof mystical realism that is maintainedFromThe First noteofThe "CREATION "of LORD I SAWYou CRYToThe fading rhythm of JUDGEMENTDay . There is no end To The realistic and new way they put themMUSIC across. signed: John Cole, President ELCO Records ". (psychedelic-rocknroll.blogspot.de)
