When I was growing up in the late 70's and early 80's I was into the Christian music scene pretty heavily...in all honesty, I still am. I had stacks of LP's by big names like Randy Stonehill, Amy Grant, & the Imperials. But I also had more obscure acts like September, Malcolm & the Mirrors and Elim Hall. Then in the mid to late 80's something crazy happened,,, a little thing called the CD. Suddenly my vinyl was becoming obsolete. I grabbed as much stuff up on CD as was rereleased. But many of the smaller acts never met the digital format. So when I went from CDs to iPod I could not bring the vinyl with me.
Now I have been looking at getting a USB turntable, but have never had the cash to invest. But thanks to a friend of mine, I have found a couple website that have been able to help me out. Now before some of you go crazy on me about robbing artists of their fair share, etc. Let me say first of all, I am only downloading stuff I know I can't find on CD. Stuff I know is out of print. I encourage you to do the same. Check iTunes first, and download from their when possible. But if you are looking for some great old christian albums check out these two sites:

And for those who just want to listen to some great old christian music, I recommend this podcast:

If you grew up around the same time as me, these will bring back great memories. ENJOY!!
