Best of 2nd Chapter of Acts

I honestly feel bad about giving a critical review of a Christian CD, especially from such an iconic group, but I feel I have little choice.First off, all of the songs on this CD have been remastered. They will not sound the same as the originally released songs. In fact they sound of poorer quality. They sound so bad on this CD that they sounded better on my junky 1980s Fingerhut stereo.Second, the list of tracks on Amazon only lists track 3, Prince Song, as being a live recording. This is not the correct. The tracks listed on this item's Amazon page are not correct. The following tracks are all live recordings and suffer accordingly, which should not happen:3. Yaweh4. Which Way The Wind Blows5. Easter SongThird, it seems odd to me that even the studio versions of these songs have a better quality sound from youtube than they do from this CD. I've played this CD both in our vehicle's after market player and on the computer. I was not impressed either time.Which Way The Wind Blows, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHTtcGMthAMEaster Song, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmNVfP_TlPQWhoever, or whichever company, decided to produce this CD has performed a disservice against Second Chapter of Acts. I cannot in good conscience recommend this CD to anyone. However, if you are only concerned with the lyrics and message in the songs, then by all means purchase away. If you are not only concerned with the lyrics and message, but also prefer the music to have the same or better quality as the original songs, then I have to suggest looking elsewhere.On a good note, at least I have another CD I can add to my collection of CDs I'll never listen to again.

What more can be said of this Contemporary Christian group? They have an excellent sound blending all three voices in a clear, concise way. This brother, and two sisters have made their mark. This particular selection is just wonderful, and causes some real issues to be taken thougjhtfully. What I've always enjoyed about this group is the high quailty of the music itself, and the arrangements are expertly crafted. The various songs differ-none are repetious, and more importantly, the message comes accross without being hammered. I would refer this CD for Christians, certainly, but also for those who are seekers, and want to become acquainted with some real classic Christian music. This group is one of the most influential Christian bands, that really had an impact on my early Chistian walk. If your looking for a Christian band that is just fantastic, I would say this is one of the best.

This is a collection of the all time hits. It is amazing how sedate 2nd Chapter sounds now. They were one of my favorites back in the day. But i got the one song from Matthew Ward I wanted on cd.

Can't get enough! I have personally enjoyed and been blessed by the 2nd Chapter of Acts Trio for the last 3 decades and to have the Best of 2nd Chapter of Acts is an added bonus to my collection for not only myself, but sharing it with others to listen to the message this trio presents and represents.

I so loved this band in the 70's! Listening to it again brings back such wonderful memories of my walk with Christ. I love their vocals. Every song seems to bring tears to my eyes. Such a great walk down memory lane for me. Listening to it on the way to work gave me chills. Thank you for making this into a CD! Somewhere I have the album?

I'm crazy about the Second Chapter of Acts but I don't think this is their very best, hence the 4 stars.

Listening to the Best of 2nd Chapter of Acts takes me back about 30 years when Christian contemporary music was just taking hold. Their exquisite harmonies are just as I remembered them. Now, some of the lyrics seem youthfully exuberant, with almost a fairy tale quality, yet again, their harmonies carry the songs.

I miss these guys! I have seen them in Concert, and enjoyed their unique brand of Music Ministry through the years. If you have not yet experienced 2nd Chapter of Acts, and you can only buy one CD, get this one, as it is one terrific recording, and a great Blessing to boot!...These guys reveal to us the heart of a loving God via the tool of music.

I loved 2nd Chapter of Acts back in the 1970's- but for some reason this cd failed to bring back what I had remembered. Maybe it is just me and the fallibility of rosy memories- I still have several LP's on vinyl- but this seemed to fail to capture what I loved and possibly it is due to the choice of tracks. Even the Easter Song (from a live recording here) did not measure with the studio recording on vinyl. Others may like this but I'll probably end up getting the all vinyl out and transferring onto one cd the tracks that blessed me most from at the time. I even heard them live at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh back in ? 1973/4 with Barry Maguire.

Great album

Vintage worship

brilliant

A seventies classic - a youth group favourite.
