Sound Of The San Francisco Christian Center Reissue edition

The San Francisco Christian Center was one of

the first churches to open its doors to disaffected

hippies searching for a deeper spiritual substance.

This era saw new, youth-driven forms of

"Jesus music" that fused gospel messages with

rock aesthetics. Chief amongst these new-style

gospel artists was the San Francisco-based

Andraé Crouch, who was one of the influences

behind this recording. As a historical document,

it provides a breathtaking view into the roots of

contemporary gospel music, but as just pure

music, it is a transcendent listening experience.
