John Pantano (of Pantano/Salsbury) Hits The Switch!

John Pantano’s rock and roll roots go back to the 1960s psychedelic rock scene and the very genesis of the Jesus Movement. He and his friend, the late Ron Salsbury, were the core of JC Power Outlet – one of the earliest Jesus Rock bands on the scene. After two albums for Myrrh Records, the two signed with Larry Norman’s vanguard Solid Rock label and changed their creative moniker to “Pantano Salsbury” for the release of their acclaimed, beloved (and doomed) 1977 album, Hit The Switch. That LP, long sought by collectors, is finally being remastered and re-released by Randy Layton’s Alternative Records. Or at least we hope it is. We spoke to Pantano and Layton recently and are releasing this special 45 RPM episode, including several clips of the remastered songs, with the hope that more people will discover this sleeper classic and support the worthy Indiegogo campaign to fund this critical re-issue.

 

SONG LIST: 

Ron Salsbury & JC Power Outlet – Don’t Turn Your Back On Jesus (Live at the Hollywood Palladium)

Pantano-Salsbury – I’m Just a Record; Hold On; I Need You; Soul Seeker; To Be Near You; The One We Long to See (Previously unreleased)

BACK THE CAMPAIGN!
