We recently uploaded the 1972 Wilson McKinley album, Heaven’s Gonna Be A Blast! and people enjoyed it so here is their previous 1971 album. While i don’t think it’s quite as good as their subsequent album I actually still quite liked it. The album includes a updated rock cover of the 1966 Peter Scholtes hymn “They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love” renamed “One In The Spirit”. It’s a pretty good version though there are errors in the song if you listen carefully. Normally stuff like that would be re-cut but this was a self released album on a tight budget and I don’t care it adds to the album. It’s actually pretty well engineered and produced for the era. Luckily for us it has been re-released a few times on vinyl then finally on CD so there are copies out there.
