This release is virtually impossible to find. This was released after Mike Knott took over The Lifesavors. These are the first known officially released recorded songs to feature Michael Knott on lead vocals and as songwriter. Mike Annis was latter known as Mike Stand, solo artist and leader of The Altar Boys.
“The One” contains a line about the kids hanging out at the church at Canyon High. Canyon High School is in Anaheim Hills, California and was the first home for the Vineyard church pastored by John Wimber. Wimber was the father of Chris Wimber, who would later be the force behind Vineyard Worship. This is probably the church Knott was attending when leading a popular Bible study where the story chronicled on LSU’s The Grape Prophet happened.

I picked this up at a used record store in Riverside, Ca. for .10 cents. Couldn’t believe what it was…and I had been a Knott/LSU fan for years! Curious how many are out there.
Mike give me a call some time. You know… Joe the guy that rattle can you square back camouflage style
Oh Yeah, I was also the photographer for The Lifesavors
