This is the very debut album by US Hippie Jesus bunch, who later recorded an LP in UK for Myrrh and were on "Lonesome Stone" LP! This one is their debut album recorded here in Finland 1972, and is more primitive, heavy psychedelic, more basement feel with great organ sound! An absolutely must for all friends "ALL SAVED FREAK BAND" and other freak / dope Jesus-music lovers! And fans of Top Psychedelic music lovers too!
And the title is not miss-spelled here. Jeesus-rock! is a Finnish word ford Jesus-Rock. They do even sing couple of tracks here in Finnish! And I think, you can find "Multitudes" track on both their albums, but this one is really heavy psychedelic basement feel! This is one of the most RAREST gospel / Xian music Lps, really!

CHOOSE AN ARTIST > SHEEP:
"Group of Americans that transplanted to England and somehow ended up wandering into Finland to record and release this ultra-obscurity. Yep, it's the same Sheep that went on to record Lonesome Stone and the self-titled lp on the Myrrh UK label. And no, the album title is not misspelled - that's because it's in Finnish, as are all the liner notes and 4 of the 10 songs. Actually the cover lists the band name as "Karitsat", Finnish for sheep. The sound here is similar to that on the Myrrh lp ('Multitudes' appears on both albums), but this is a much more low-budget effort, hence a more primitive feel. 'Oh Happy Day' and a hard-rock version of 'A Mighty Fortress' (here called 'Jumala Ompi Linnamme') are both done in Finnish. Enjoy the music and expand your culture at the same time. KS"
TOP 50 ALBUMS:
"Jeesus Rock (Finnlevy, 1972) The original Milwaukee Jesus People group split into three camps; the Jesus People USA (Resurrection Band), Bill Lowery's 'Christ is the Answer' ministry and a group that went over to Europe to evangelize. The Sheep were involved in the latter group and recorded this first album in less than 12 hours. Some songs are actually sung in Finnish. Very hard to find."
This one was released on the very same FINNLEVY label than other heavy progressive/ psychedelic masterpiece KALEVALA People No Names LP (a copy was just sold here about $700!)
