about

this download is the original songs & masters of the 1982 recording sessions recorded in Hollywood Calif in 1982 ..
Coming Attraction was cut as a live studio record over the course of three all-night sessions & mixed .. the record was not released on a label until 1984 on Heartland records .. the label took off some songs, the cover was changed & project remixed ... I'm happy to re-release this record in its original version engineered & mixed by Jonathan David Brown
& produced by Lewis McVay

this was one of the many reviews of the 1984 record release of
"Coming Attraction" on Heartland Records ..
a completely different record IMO than the one I'm releasing here ...

"Nearly a decade after releasing one of the most classic, definitive Jesus Music albums, Sail on Sailor, with his band Mustard Seed Faith and some six years since releasing his first solo album “Spirit of St. Lewis” Lewis McVay released an amazing record that was only hampered by being part of a label that was about to fold.

From the creative cover to the phenomenal musicianship on the album, every song works and works well. Combining many different genres all within the framework of pop/rock with touches of new wave and soulful jazz, there is also a hint of the sounds also explored by labelmates Prodigal.

Christian radio was very responsive to the mid-tempo ballad “Someday” which sounds nothing like the rest of the album and is uncanny how much it sounds like a David and the Giants ballad. It is also the only over the top syrupy CCM song on the entire album and seems like it was written just for the radio. That is really the ONLY song not up to par with the rest of the album. The rest of the album is really that good. There is not a weak song to be found anywhere.

Highlights include the title track, Moon Eyes and You Can’t Fool Me. This is a serious AYSO and one can only hope to find one to own. You don’t want to know what I paid for mine 20 years later!"

I used to host a Christian music show on Sunday nights at my college radio station back in 1981-1985 and this album was in my collection and a personal favorite. Several songs were requested frequently by listeners. Favorite Song: I loved them all, but Again and Again would be my favorite. jkoonce

Randy...like Don Fransisco, is a great storyteller and songwriter whom loves the Lord Jesus; great set of new tunes, especially Mercy in the Shadowlands. poco1954
