If anyone knows where I can get my hands on a copy the The Choir - Circle Slide, I'd appreciate a heads up. Its my new: White Whale.

i was lucky enough to grab one of these when they had the Kickstarter campaign. Just tried to see if I could find another, but no luck. These guys were one of my favorite bands back in the day, and one of the few Christian rock bands I still listen to. I just wish they’d re-release Chase the Kangaroo.

I'm disappointed that they (and the 77's) have started down the cover song road. At least the Sevens managed to cover Wilco & the Smoking Popes.

I tried revisiting the 77’s material recently (specifically Sticks & Stones), and it didn’t do much for me, sadly. I didn’t realize The Choir was headed down the “cover band” road. Disappointing, to say the least. I’ve kept up with them, purchased a few of their reissues, and even Derri’s solo album. But that 3 album run from Kanagaroo to Circle Slide still gives me the feels, and defies the “Christian rock” stigma of formulaic music.I'm disappointed that they (and the 77's) have started down the cover song road.

On a side note, not sure if you are or were an Undercover fan, but they’re reissuing Balance of Power this year on Kickstarter.

I forget....Lost Dogs was Mike Roe, Gene Eugene, Derri and Terry Taylor, right?
EDIT: I just read the Kickstarter page and answered my own question. That red splatter looks amazing, but is way too much $$

Yeah..until Gene Eugene died. Now I think they've added Steve Hindalong to round out the 4some.

His death was rough. I spent a little time at The Green Room in the 90’s (I was good friends with Mike Knott’s manager), and Gene was the nicest guy. Same with Riki Michele and Dan Michaels.

Lol, no, but he was a real guy, apparently. A neighbor of Mike's. So was Kitty, lol. All of the people in Mike's songs (and situations) were real. On the song Bad Check on Strip Cycle, where he sings about how he wrote a bad check to "this cello player, she didn't know it at the time cuz I'm singing it later", that really happened. Knott was a unique individual, that's for sure.Hmm...did you get to meet "John Barrymore, Jr." or "Jan the Weatherman" too?

This arrived today. 180g Candy Red, looks great, sounds great.
Lo-Fidelity did a nice job with this one.

Christian music adjacent, but my wife is horrified that her favorite band Switchfoot is opening some dates with Nickelback this summer.

What...didn't buy the Master Tapes?
I got the Yellow/Red too.
Ponied up for T-shirt as well.

I’m stoked it comes with the Island record as well. I’ve never heard 88, which is why I hesitated before, but now I’m in

88 might be their best record.
It doesn't' have God Sends Quails (my personal fav) but the Perfect Blues opener is fire, especially if you are into blues guitar.
