"THE STAND" was recorded during an especially troubling time in your life... " It was my last album for the Good News record label. Most of the songs from this album were written and recorded during my downslide into the depths of the final stage of my alcohol addiction. Many of the songs were biographical, and reflected my then current struggles.
"How did the struggles you were experiencing affect this album?" I had always participated in every step of the recording process of all my albums, completely hands on. This was the first album where I did not. Bob Rose had been assigned as producer, why I don’t remember. I had always produced my own albums up until then. I was probably looking for a fresh approach. My intervention and hospitalization for my addiction happened during the final stages of this album. Bob finished up several songs without my participation, and the entire mix was done without me.
"What was the reaction from your label at the time?" Word Records, who distributed the Good News label, hated the album because of its painful content. I remember the president of Word at the time, Stan Moser, asking me “what was I thinking?” They basically buried it, putting little to no money into promoting and marketing. Consequently, it sold only a fraction of what my previous albums had sold. All my albums had sold over 100,000 up until then, but this album peaked at about 30,000.
"Why do you think it performed the way it did?" The reason for the slow sales may have been the controversial content of the lyrics. Perhaps my audience was not ready for such painful themes in their music. My audience by now had come to know that I never put out a clone of my previous albums, so they knew I would do something different, but maybe not this different. I truly believe that this album would never have been released in today’s climate, where everything is so sanitized and safe.
"How was it received by the press?" It received a glowing review from Cornerstone Magazine, published by Jesus People USA, the organization founded by Glen Kaiser of Resurrection Band . They loved the edgy controversial lyrics and the harder rock sound.
CONDITION Descriptions:
I base the condition of each of my Records off of 's Grading System.
• MINT (M) Looks new and unplayed. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Sounds new. With 45rpm records, this does not always mean there is no surface noise at all.
• NEAR MINT (NM) Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as a drill hole; unobtrusive writing on label (e.g., an X on a promo copy); minor scuffing on vinyl; minor color flaking on label, or other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal. May have some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting.
• VERY GOOD (VG) There may be light scuffing and some of the original vinyl luster may be lost. The vinyl and label may appear used, but well cared for. Records may have some more obvious flaws that are not visually degrading such as a sticker on the label; more noticeable writing on the label; scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl; or minor discoloration of the label. There may be very minor warping of the vinyl. There may be a slight scratch not affecting play.
• GOOD (G) Record has visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, minor surface scratches, groove wear, and audible surface noise. Appears well used but not abused. May have a few major flaws, such as scratches, label tears, or stickers, and/or writing.
• FAIR (F) Appears well used and somewhat abused. Audio is not great due to surface noise and scratches. The record may have a stick or a skip. Records in this condition are those you might purchase to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy comes along.
• POOR (P) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise, but still not cracked or broken. Record likely skips and/or sticks. Typically so bad looking that a true “collector” would just toss it out. More useful as a Frisbee. I try not to sell records in this condition.
