THE SEARCH PARTY - MONTGOMERY CHAPEL  (circa 1969/1970) RAPTURE RECORDS

At the risk of sounding like a show off, let me first say that i feel particularly privileged to be one of the less than 2000 people that have a copy of this record. About two years ago on a visit to Flash Back a member of staff had this record on, upon hearing it I didn't pay much attention to it especially because I had my mind set on whatever it was I was listening to on my headphones, but slowly my original choice of dismissing or ignoring the record had to be itself ignored.

Anyway cutting the long story short, I asked what it was and was told I probably will never find it, a year later a dealer from Italy told me he had a copy of this in which I let go of £100 or so, £100 a bit steep but not when you know that original presses of the record are going for over a £1000.00 (my copy was repressed in 1994).  

The Search party is a group of five young immensely talented Christians who created this record to spread the good word. It's a Christian record a Christian folk / psyche record the likes that I have never heard before, and was named after their place of worship 

(read more to hear track from album)

The record was made due to donations made to the Montgomery Chapel - the place of worship of all the players in the band,- which possibly explains why only a 1000 were pressed on the first release and the rough edges on the production which actually come across as a positive in adding to the beauty of the album.

The track below is the first track on the album and one of my favourite on the album - good luck digging this one out.

    Thank you for your kind review. However, please allow me to correct a few misconceptions:

    The administrators of the San Francisco Theological Seminary were kind enough to let us use their Montgomery Chapel as a rehearsal hall and recording studio. The processes of writing and recording were underwritten by donations to Fr. Nicholas.

    Thanks again,

    Pete

    I would love to have a scan of the back cover. My sister and I are on the back cover looking in through the back door. I remember the day they recorded the tracks. We lived down the street and heard this rock music and came running. I spent my whole youth listening to the album, and still listen today. My dad lives far off and I do not have access to the actual copy to see the back cover. I would love to show my kids.

    Years later, link:http://www.cheapuggonlinestore.com/ Uggs are still popular - and while the slipperlike link:http://www.cheapuggonlinestore.com/ seem best suited for loafing around the house, many women wear their Uggs all day, every day. And therein lies the problem, says Dr. Robin Ross, link:http://www.cheapuggonlinestore.com/ podiatrist and incoming president of the New York State link:http://www.cheapuggonlinestore.com/ Podiatric Association.
