(25th February 1965)
Only the flimsiest of efforts made here to disguise the fact that “you” is shorthand for “Jesus”. “There’s a new world somewhere, they call the promised land” - and if that doesn’t tip you off, the stern, sandalled, campfire atmosphere will. This particular youth group leader has a lovely, steely voice, and certainly there are worse routes to redemption available, but after a fine run of #1s this is still too medicinal for me. 4
