Recorded live at the Church Of God Of Prophecy in Birmingham this begins with a painful version of “How Great Thou Art” where the magnificent hymn is transformed by plodding, reggae rhythms, staccato unison singing and a lady lead singer who misses more notes than she hits. It doesn’t get any better. Maybe they had backline problems affecting the singer’s pitching. Whatever the reasons this rather embarrassing recording shouldn’t have seen the light of day.
