Correction- several of us were in High school (including me- the drummer). Someone just showed me this post. To answer the question of why only vinyl- that's all there was back in 1969. In the context of time, several of us are now nearing retirement age...
Whoever posted this- thanks! I was the drummer with G.U. Except for the leader (Tom Belt, an Episcopal priest & the composer & sax) the rest of us were college students. Several of us went on into ministry.
@frtubr I was a member (one of the high school girls, barely...I was 13), I toured with the group but I wasn't on the album. My name's Chris, I played the 12 string and a piano/sax solo w/ Father Tom when we were on tour....good memories
This album is unique, not rock but certainly a mix of folk and jazz and church music, sixties style. My favorite song is the haunting and very sad "Black (is) the Night," one of the more simple yet potent anti-war songs I've heard. If only Jesus rock bands of today wrote such lyrics.
I love this song! This was a great band with pretty cool sound.

I think it was also released on 8 track. Good luck finding a copy.

Many musicians with their own special instruments bringing this song together. I liked it! The solos (drums, sax, guitar) were great!
