Maranath #5



I finally broke down and got this on Ebay.

It arrived in the mail yesterday. Very, very cool to have.

  RE: Maranatha #5

I received Maranatha 5 as a Christmas gift............over 30 years ago! And so began my journey with DA.

It is a cool album and I think the best of the Maranatha compilation albums. Although I also like Maranatha 2 as it is a good sampling of early 70's Maranatha music.

I always liked the cover art of Maranatha 5.

IIRC, "Golden Ages" by Sweet Comfort Band was written in relation to the death of Bill Sprouse, who wrote "Shotgun Angel".

I knew that Bill Sprouse wrote "Shotgun Angel" and that Ed used to be in The Road Home.

I didn't know that Golden Ages" by Sweet Comfort Band was written in relation to the death of Bill Sprouse, however. Thanks!

The whole record is very cool.

This would have been very cool if I could have started my journey with DA here.

  Marantha 2

I wonder what this puppy is worth.
Picked it up a few years back at an estate sale. I had the 8Track of the #5. Now that I've got a turntable to spin again, I'll have to give it a tumble.
The clear blue disc is what caught my eye.

There is also a red vinyl vol 1. I thought they would be worth quite a bit, but a few years ago I sold mine on Ebay and only got 5-10 dollars each.

I just looked it up and there's a copy in only Good condition going for $7.
Oh, well, I just burned a copy to the 'puter and it sounds fantastic.

I always liked the concept of those compilation albums.

Very cool indeed.

I don't think I will be buying the others anytime soon, however!
