Wow. Like the previous ‘guest’ I too have been directed here by my other sister. I’ve been listening to Christmas music, made by my officer training session and the ISB so long ago. I have lost my original record, so it was a joy to hear it again. Homepage given is the High Wycombe Corps magazine, of which I am the editor. Keep up the good work and thank you. I look forward to many hours of listening. Carol.

Congratulations from me as well to Ian, & to Adrian, for such an excellent new interface to the Playlists, it is so Army as to be almost painful. Sometimes we wonder what it is about all this amazing & unique archive of our time and years of God inspired & blessed Salvation Army music, which Ian is both uncovering and making available to us so very easily with his dedication and willingly donated time. For me, maybe this is what it is all about. You see, because of Ian, I have once again discovered a previously unknown and previously unheard, to me, arrangement & recording which encapsulates what the Army, and it’s legacy of music, epitomises. It can be found on the 1974 Brisbane City Temple Band recording, which is the sixth title down on the EP’s & LP’s Index, and the eighth track listed. (Catalog YPRX1048) This is a truly inspirational recording by the Brisbane City Temple Band of the 1970s, playing Bandmaster Len Baxter’s own deeply moving arrangement of Spirit of the Living God. If you are able, listen to the recording via your music centre with the bass well emphasised. The arrangement is inspired, the playing is faultless, the message more than challenging. Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me, Break me, melt me, mould me, fill me. Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me Play the track, and allow the words to flow over your mind and soul, and you will be as blessed as I have been. I am told that the BCT band still play this arrangement to this very day, and I can well understand why. Neil Carter Oxford UK

Hi Ian, Never a day passes without my playing some (or as I am told, a lot) of the tracks on this excellent site. They continue to bring back fond memories of the old days when we were less mature. Your hard work is greatly appreciated by many I am sure and long may you continue to be of service.

Ian; Your new player is absolutely beautiful, showing all selections for easy use. Colourful and very effective. Thanks for your work. My brother has the old LP’s & somehow misplaced one. I gave him your address & he found the album right away. Thanks again. Blessings, Keith

Thanks for your hard work. Listening at moment to Songs in Exile and have been really blessed by the music. It is not for the Glory of Salvation Army Bands that we play this music but for the Glory of God.

Hi Ian, I am German and three decades ago I’ve been in the Army. I belong to a Pentecostal church since then. But I love Salvation Army music, especially the brass one. On Your website I have rediscovered all the albums I had in the late Ý70s. Thank You very much for this and many blessings. Gert. P.S. Could you please add the album cover pictures of SPR 37 Where Glory Dwelleth. That would be very nice

It has been a few months since I last visited your website Ian, and I must thank you again for the ongoing development of this wonderful catalogue of Salvation Army music. I have spent the last few hours exploring and listening to your recent additions, and once again find that it’s after 2am and I should really get some sleep . . . . but, perhaps just one more track . . . GOD BLESS
