Integrity's Hosanna! Music - Dave Bilbrough - HM45 Take the City (1992)

Between 1988 and 1993, Integrity Music re-dubbed eight of their Hosanna! Music albums for sale in the UK, a somewhat cheap effort done by simply replacing the voice of the lead singer (worship leader). Take the City, released in 1992, is the penultimate album to be re-dubbed; having originally been recorded live in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, with Rusty Nelson as worship leader.
Prolific singer-songwriter Dave Bilbrough, writer of, among other songs, "All Hail the Lamb" and "So Freely", as noted on the reverse of the album cover, was the worship leader on the British version of this album, as seen here. The banner on top of the front cover reads "Public Praise"; this was Integrity Music's second and final album in the Public Praise sub-series, following Graham Kendrick's album "Crown Him", released the year prior.
Some notes:
- The instrumentation during the worship leader's prayer between the songs "Draw Them Near" and "Sing Hallelujah" are different in each version.
- In the original version, at the end of side 1 (this is a CD, but until the late nineties the recordings on the CD versions were split halfway through like their cassette and even occasional LP counterparts), at the end of "We Take a Stand", the recording briefly continues into ministration, whereas in this version the recording fades out immediately after the applause.
- In some places throughout the album, the original worship leader's voice can still be heard, especially at the end of "Come Into the Heavenlies".
- At the end of side two/the album, the original version fades out after the song "Take the City (Reprise)" has fully concluded, whereas in this version the music fades out during the third time the chorus is sung.
- This copy is actually my second, having been purchased from eBay last month; I got rid of the case of the first copy as at the time I didn't really appreciate some of the CDs that had been given to me, a move which I would later regret, because these re-dubbed versions are quite hard to find, with the exception of this one where used examples seem to be relatively abundant.
