Denna vecka presenterar vi "Christian Crusaders"

1972 var året då detta album landade i skivaffärerna.

På skivan hittar vi "hits" som "I´m not fat, I´m full of christian love" och

"See you at church - or else"

Här kommer Al Davis egna ord om skivan:

"When Colombia Records approached me to record this album,

I thought, “These godless heathen record industry types sicken me

to my very core." Then I figured it had to be a sign from God, because,

well, I think everything that happens to me is a sign from God.

Our approach to making this album was novel: We’d write some songs

and record them. And with the money we made we’d buy stuff,

like clothes and food. This was pretty revolutionary thinking back

then. A lot of people don’t know this but “Christian Crusaders” was

recorded in about 2 hours. Our producer, I think his name was

Marty, spent the entire session in another room having what

sounded like carnal relations with someone (probably a man).

He told us the record wouldn’t sell. He said we didn’t have a sound

anyone would buy. He insisted we’d be forgotten in no time and

that no kid in his right mind would ever dance to a song called

“Do The Hairshirt.” Boy, was he right. The only satisfaction I can take

from this is that I heard he died in a fire a few years later".
