various -- Because I Am 2xLP

The New Rock Musical From Clear Light Productions

Original 1973 US private pressing on Clear Light Productions (Newton MA) (catalog # CL 2-101), with gatefold sleeve. NOTE: condition issues (see below.)

Wild and epic private Xian rock musical double-album from the Boston multimedia Christian collective Clear Light.

Some bombastic hard-prog tunes with psych moves, heavy fuzz and crazy time changes (such as "Journey to Calvary"), some period Jesus funk-rock with horns, even one really out 'n funky horned out poly-rhythmic instrumental ("Overture") with drum and bass that starts off straight out of Factory Records circa 1979 and ends up on the cutting room floor of a Fred Williamson flick... think "UFO" by ESG crossed with "Theme from S.W.A.T." Ridiculous!

From Clear Light founder Eric Anderson's biography: "This Christian start-up company was founded by some friends from Park Street Church to use multi-media to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to secular man. We used banks of slide projectors and other devices to do this, along with rock music. We got tossed out of Park Street Church for using rock music!"

Shipping And Payment Info

Records can be shipped worldwide via any method.
I will combine shipping. Winners of multiple items save substantially on shipping costs.

Within the US: shipping is $4.00 for Media Mail. Priority Mail is a recommended option, it's faster and more secure -- cost is reasonable and calculated based on your zip code. Shipping costs include delivery confirmation.

Combine shipping with other items: The cost of each extra item is calculated automatically based on weight: if you want to add a record (7", 12", LP or double-LP) or CD to your order the cost is only between 25 cents and 75 cents per extra item depending on total weight.

Outside the US: shipping is calculated automatically based on your country and the weight of the record.

IMPORTANT: tracking is only available with Priority Mail Internationalor Express Mail International... First Class Mail Internationalis normally a very reliable service, but it does not provide tracking so if you choose First Class Mail International you agree not to hold me responsible in the unlikely event of loss or damage to the package-- please review my 10+ years of 11000+ positive feedbacks if you have any concerns, and contact me for more details.

Combine shipping with other items: If you want to add a normal-weight record (7", 12", or LP) or CD to your order the cost is reasonable, usually not more than $3.99 per extra item, often less, depending on total weight.

All records are packaged securely, protected by both stiff and cushion packaging, with vinyl (in original innersleeve) removed from cover and placed safely in poly sleeve to help prevent seam splitting during transit.

I can usually accommodate special shipping requests or special payment requirements, just ask.
