Ken Scott's Archivist books lie somewhere between an annotated record price guide and a sphincterally-retentive history book.
Any lover of Godly Rock 'n' Roll could turn into an enviously drooling fool by paging through this unique, necessary work.
Ken Scott" doesn't bog down his pages with price and record condition data, though he intersperses the text with mentions of how certain albums command great sums on the collectors market.
"Ken Scott" tells the story via hundreds of reviews. Every slab of PVC that he could find by any remotely rocking act with a Christian connection gets its due.
That means not only the Neo-Pentecostal and non-denominational artists commonly associated with the hippie-centric Jesus movement and its subcultural wake.
