 "Maranatha (Lord come quickly) is composed of seven men who had been entangled in a search for meaning to life; a search for reason.This Odyssey touched the paths of mysticism; led us through the sub-culture of drugs; included radical politics.
The pilgrimage has ended.
We have received new life"
The band.

"Although they’re from the opposite end of the country, New Jersey’s Maranatha (which means Lord come quickly in Aramaic) has that same long-haired home-grown west-coast guitar psych sound as Spokane’s Wilson McKinley. In fact I might go so far as to say that Soon is on equal footing with the classic Spirit Of Elijah — it’s that good. Guitarist Charlie Rizzo would later emerge with the more Southern-edged Ernrnaus Road Band, but here the style seems much more garage angled and hippie jamming. Loudhard-rock electric action on ‘Maranatha’, ‘Resurrection’, ‘Deeper Than The
Mighty Rolling Sea’, and ‘Coming Of The Lord’, while ‘Do You Know My Jesus’, ‘Let Us Rise’ and ‘Amen’ explore more acoustic moods. Some fun lively“Johnny B Goode’—styled r&r on “I Found Jesus’. An insanely rare private press and easily one of the top US Christian monsters."

Ken Scott's "Archivist" discography book of Christian rock.

Seven young musicians chose to share their faith out of a small church in New Milford, NJ, the Maranatha Church of the Nazarene. The band was called Maranatha and they released one album in 1971 titled Soon
A small church in New Milford, NJ, the Maranatha Church of the Nazarene, became one of the centers of the East Coast Jesus movement in the early 1970s. Out of that church, seven young musicians chose to share their faith in the best way they knew how and formed the band, Maranatha. As young people gathered in the church and grew to hundreds every Friday night, the band started to write and play songs reflecting their newfound faith in a way that spoke to those attending. The next step was to record what they were playing since they wanted people to be able to take this music home with them. So they rented a studio in NYC and recorded the album basically live.

Stonewall – Stonewall US 1976

 

Stonewall – Stonewall

Tiger Lily Records – TL 14013 US 1976 Stonewall was a Long Island, NY band formed in the late 1960s. The line up includes: Bruce Rapp (lead vocals/harmonica) Bob Dimonte (guitar) Ray Dieneman (bass) Anthony Assalti (drums)  The Stonewall band member names on the Akarma bootleg reissues are completely made up. This is probably the rarest and most sought after of all the Tax Scam releases, usually trading hands in dangerous, dimly lit back alleys on the very rare occasions it is offered for sale! Seriously though, this is one of the very few records that matches extreme rarity with an equal measure of musical quality. A ferociously heavy hard psych masterpiece that would undoubtedly be a classic if anybody had been fortunate enough to hear it back when it was trickled out ('released' would be an exaggeration) in minute numbers back in 1976. Even by the murky standards of Tax Scam releases, this record is truly an enigma, and little is known about the band today despite years of research by leading Sourcerers. There is no doubt about the music though! It was sold on eBay in 2014 for $ 14,100 (€ 12,610). Stonewall was the house band of a recording studio owned by James (Jimmy) Goldstein, based in Long Island during the late '60s. Goldstein was also a part-time member of the band, occasionally playing keyboards on their sessions. He was a performer of his own, using the stage name of "Jay James". Under that alias he recorded the album Good Times & Bad Times that was released on the Tiger Lily label (same as Stonewall). Stonewall's drummer Tony (Anthony) Assalti was the drummer on this rather weak country album by Goldstein. However, Assalti was never aware of the Stonewall album being released, and apparently became upset after learning about the Tiger Lily release in recent years. He still plays drums with drums, and is involved with the biker scene. He's not interested in the Stonewall recordings these days On the other hand, the guitar player Ray Dieneman was a good friend of Jimmy Goldstein. Dieneman was not aware of the Stonewall album until he saw a copy in Goldstein's house in New York during a visit. Ray never owned a copy of the album, but was more amused than angry about the Tiger Lily release. It appears that Dieneman is the only band member to know about the Stonewall record being released at all. According to Ray D, Stonewall broke up at the end of 1969, which would place the recordings heard on the album (which wasn't released until the mid-1970s) sometime in the late 1960s. The other two Stonewall band members -- vocalist Bruce Rapp and bass player Robert Demonte -- have not yet been tracked down. Jimmy Goldstein, who produced, engineered and played keyboards on the Stonewall album passed away in 2009. The album was recorded at Jimmy Goldstein's Tower Sound Studios (see also Tower Sound), in the Ed Sullivan building in NYC. According to Dieneman, the band didn't record any other music on the album, so basically the entire LP on Tiger Lily is all of their music. LISTEN FULL LP:

Samantha Summers – You / Te Iluminaré
Mandioca – MS-005
Argentina 1969

An obscure singer from the underground Rioplatense scene who released only one 45 on the small indie label Mandioca in 1969. Her real name is Monika Duek and she didn't record any more songs, she was an art student and moved to Rome shortly after this song was recorded, and then to Paris. She dedicated herself to photography and still lives in Paris. The song "You" was written by an uruguayan friend of hers who was part of the Tupamaros, a left-wing guerrilla movement.
