Spread across four sides, the collection brings together 32 tracks from a remarkably diverse group of British and American Christian artists, reflecting the breadth of the late-1970s Jesus Music and contemporary Christian music scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe first two sides mix Christian folk, singer-songwriter material, gospel and more contemporary pop and rock sounds. Malcolm Wild's “Love Is You,” Stewart \u0026amp; Kyle's “Open Boat,” Mark Williamson's “Hold On Me” and Marilyn Baker's “I Am The Way” establish an intimate, melodic side, while Gary S. Paxton's “(I'm) Anchored In The Rock Of Ages” brings a more traditional gospel influence. Len Magee, Willy Hanssen, John Pantry and Adrian Snell further demonstrate the variety of approaches represented on the compilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe collection also moves firmly into Christian rock and contemporary pop, with tracks such as Bill Mason Band's “Out On The Streets,” “Jesus On The Airways” by John Pantry, “He Loves You” by Faith and “Give Them All To Jesus” by Robert Newey. There is a particularly strong British presence throughout the album, making \u003cem\u003eEarfull\u003c\/em\u003e an interesting document of the UK's developing Christian music scene during the late 1970s. The track listing is confirmed as the original four-side, 32-track sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe third and fourth sides broaden the picture further. Bryn Haworth's “Standing On The Rock,” Wall Bros Band's “Givin' It Up,” Face To Face's “Love Like An Ocean” and Andrus, Blackwood \u0026amp; Co's “You Are My Everything” sit alongside the more gospel-oriented material, while American artists including Dan Peek, Leon Patillo, Chuck Girard, Kelly Willard and The Maranatha Singers give the compilation an important US contemporary-Christian dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eOf particular interest to collectors is the appearance of Dan Peek, formerly of America, with “All Things Are Possible”, alongside Leon Patillo, who would become associated with pioneering Christian electronic and funk music, and Chuck Girard, a key figure in the early Jesus Music movement. The closing “Lord Be Glorified” by The Maranatha Singers provides a suitably devotional finale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWith its mixture of Christian folk, gospel, soft rock, singer-songwriter material, contemporary pop and Christian rock, \u003cem\u003eEarfull\u003c\/em\u003e offers a useful snapshot of the music being created for the rapidly developing contemporary Christian audience of the 1970s. It should appeal not only to collectors of Christian music but also to anyone interested in obscure British independent compilations, private-label recordings and the history of the Jesus Music movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMalcolm Wild – Love Is You\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStewart \u0026amp; Kyle – Open Boat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMark Williamson – Hold On Me\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarilyn Baker – I Am The Way\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBill Davidson – Turn, Turn America\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGary S.
