- DESCRIPTION: Here’s a real treasure. Almost passed it up when I saw the smiling faces on the front cover. But when I noticed the quasi-psychedelic printing, and then the stark back cover with "Crusade Enterprises" in the corner (see Scan 3), I knew it was worth picking up – that’s because I knew "Crusade Enterprises" released the mega-rare Christian-psych monster. "Farm". And I’m glad I did pick it up, because it’s RARE, KILLER PRIVATE-PRESS CHRISTIAN-PSYCH by VERY OBSCURE Illinois band! So obscure, I can’t find any references to the band (let alone the LP) in any guides or on the ‘Net. The band gets its name from POA Ministries from Arcola, Illinois – judging form the cover, it could have been a Christian commune It’s released on the Applause label (named for the studio where it was recorded), but it apparently was pressed by Crusade Enterprises - and I’ve got to figure this was pressed in approximately the same tiny quantities that Farm was (500 copies) – though I can’t be sure.
Anyway, this thing’s OUTRAGEOUS – homemade, self-produced, almost all-original tunes (plus a goofball dixie novelty rendition of "Rock Of Ages" – go figure). Three tunes are mellower rock, one ("Soul Brother") is a surprising funk/soul tune with wah-wah and a fuzz-wow break –which could be used by the creative DJ for sampling/mixing! The rest is good ‘ol psych - loaded with HEAVY FUZZ and FUZZ-WOW, plus some phase-shift, sound effects and heavy-reverb vocals. It does have some horns, but they don’t really get in the way of the psych tunes. Various psych styles – rural, hard-edged, garagy, and STONER (especially the acid-trippy "Not So Cheap Thrills")! EXCELLENT tunes, solid musicianship and vocals (with some beautiful lead and harmonies, plus rough edges, sometimes giving it a RAW quality). Features some CRANKIN’ FUZZ SOLOS by Bob St. Gemme. Includes a large insert with production info and full lyrics. A TOTAL GEM which could be an UNKNOWN RARITY – DON’T MISS OUT!
