We've already posted a cover of The Beach Boys' "In My Room" by London, Ontario's St. Andrew's Folk Choir and Congregation, and this is another LP by the same group, although this time they're named St. Andrew The Apostle Folk Choir.

I usually don't bother with church records unless they have at least one secular cover, but this second recording by St. Andrew's has a bunch, all of which revolve around the album's overall theme of peace and pacifism. Peace was recorded with the assistance of CJOE London, the choir director was Gerald Woodman and Kevin MacDougall directed the guitarists. Unlike the first album there's no bassist, but the guitarists were Glen Palmer, Rudi Davis, Sue Moyse, Jim Doyle and Paul Quinlan (there were forty kids in the choir, so I'm not going to list them all). This LP isn't quite as polished as the first one, but it's still a notch above the average youth ensemble. "One Tin Soldier" was originally recorded by a Canadian group named Original Caste, "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is of course a Bob Dylan classic, and "Universal Soldier" is a Buffy Sainte-Marie number popularized by Donovan.
