I enjoy the vinyl guide podcast, but damn, it would be so much better with video.

Also where are the links mentioned in the podcast, where people can order the reissues directly from? I don't see them anywhere.

Interesting that The Acid Archives is mentioned heavily here but no mention of The Archivist, and its review of the album. The latter is the xian version of the former, and the review in it by Ken Scott is the one everyone quotes, not the one from Acid Archives. I wish people who talk about xian music would buy the book and take a month long dive into the genre and learn more about the great music produced back in the day about Jesus. Anyhow, there's more I could say but I don't want to sound negative. I'm glad this reissue is coming out.

Not sure if you will respond but it seems like you have a handle on this album, do you have any insight into the meaning of the lyrics? I think there are some references to Revelation and the last days. LA is mentioned, Zion, and Isreal's temple in Jerusalem but that's all I can pick up. Thoughts?

@@CoreysChannel I got the notification, and I don't mind responding. I don't claim to know everything about the album, but since it is a christian album and I am christian, having read the Bible many times, I know generally what is being referenced. Most apocopolyptic reference come from Revelation or Matthew 24; perhaps the book of Ezekial as well. 'Come Out of Her' is based on the woman riding the beast in Revelation. 'Not one stone upon another" is a direct quote from Jesis in Matt. 24.. 'Pull up the stakes and run ever upward' is a reference to ancient jewish times when the tent of meeting was moved around depending where God wanted the jewish people to be; pulling up the stakes of the tent and following God's direction. Other songs less biblical, like 'This Bird.' But yeah, I understand maybe better than other but that said, it's all metaphor that comes off the writer's (Jim's) stream of consciousness at the time.
