Richard Gazowsky & The Redeemed- Gold, 1979, White Vinyl - VG+

This is a very rare find!! Richard Gazowsky (former UPCI minister) is the son of the late UPCI Pastor Marilyn Gazowsky. Pastor Gazowsky founded her church the Voice of Pentecost in San Francisco in the late 1960's during the "Jesus Movement" era.

The Vinyl condition is Very Good Plus (VG+) –Record will show some sign that it was played. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight rub, slight scuffs inaudible marks, with little to no affect one's listening experiences, nothing that compromises the record visually or audibly

Apostolic blogger Jerry Burns gives it this review

“This record came out in 1979. It stands out from the standard United Pentecostal releases of the day. It is unique to anything that came before and after. This is also a product of its time. I hear influences from Roger Waters, Pink Floyd, and Fleetwood Mac here. That is not a bad thing, either. All music belongs to God. Richard is taking ownership of these styles and incorporating them for the glory of God. The result is one of the most genuinely unique records I have come across in quite some time.

Richard Gazowsky is a polarizing figure in the United Pentecostal Church. I will not get into the details here, but it seems he's taken his church into more a more Charismatic style. He also infamously claims God told him to start a TV network. He felt God called him to produce, write, and direct an epic movie that would blend The Ten Commandments with Star Wars.

The TV network never came to fruition. The movie was never made and bankrupted him. All we got was a documentary that chronicled his mad quest to make it.

Be it as it may, this record is a glimpse at a creative mind running fast and furious. This is a concept album, not just a collection of various songs. There are snippets of odd sound effects in the mix. There are audio clips from what I assume were short films made by Richard. It evokes the concept albums Roger Waters produced with Pink Floyd. It sounds like he had a movie in mind while making it. If you use your imagination, you can almost "watch" the movie in your head while listening to this.

This record is also remarkable because it is white vinyl. This album also features contributions by members of David and the Giants, the Christian rock band. The track "Till I Came Around" features vocal testimony from David Huff. David and his brothers have a long history with various Pentecostal musicians.
