Well… I confess I have sinned, having posted monsters, ghouls and witches here, and now it’s payback time: I hope with 81 tracks I can redeem myself for having neglected Christian beat sounds for too long; exactly since UC 057, Redemption a Go Go, and UC126/127 Beathlehem Highs to which this set here is a sequel and a companion. I find it’s a crying shame that compilers have completely neglected Xian Beat, looking down to it as nifty and ridiculous (the Lolly Pope’s Mercy UK and a very few more a part). I said it before: Whereas the songbook of all other 60s beat combos was all about “Let’s have a Ball” and “She loves me / She left me” (Dance & Romance), Xian groups have a MESSAGE, like it or not. This message gives the songs meaning, and power of convincement which sets it apart from the rest placing it high above, once you opened the door to the “only way”. Also, Xian beat definitely is the triumph of my favorite instrument. i.e. the rhythm guitar! The time frame of my selection is a little wider than usual including some songs from the early 70s, but do not worry: Xian beaters were never looking for the genius new riff but preferred, rightly, to pick up from the well known songbook amongst people, which means to look back, so a song from 74 might may easily sound like from 68. On the other end, all holiness apart, the musicians, like their laic pals, were listening to the Searchers, The Kinks, The Who, and The Byrds too, as this here set proves.
I guess this is the ultimate collection of 60s Xian Beat and you will have hard time to dig up more. But now, get on your knees brothers and sisters, praise the Lord, Youtube channels 60sChristianMusic
