Another of the timely issues in Word's '25th Anniversary' re-issue programme. 'Come Together' was one of the first musicals to demonstrate to mainstream churches that maybe their young people, agitating for change in their youth groups, really could do something to proclaim Christ using pop music styles without necessarily being threatened by the hounds of hell. The Come Together' musical was of course an international success in the 70s, performed in church halls =round the world while its predecessor 'Tell The World' and its follow up 'If My People' were also popular, "racks of those too are also featured here. Of course what was pretty radical in 1974 seems pretty tame today and the Owen's, jaunty, often corny melodies won't impress today's youth. But ageing youth work­ers and Christian music nostalgists may want this

Wow, I remember Come Together on TV back in 72,73 I believe. Pat Boone had recently become charasmatic and the 2rd Chapter of Acts was in its beginning stages. At the time I was somewhat caught up in the Jesus People Movement, and the charasmatic movement that was exploding at that time. 'Come Together' was a musical experience I will never foget. I too bought the album and pretty much wore it out. Here is an hour of total worship that can only be experienced - words cannot come close to describing this experience. I have been waiting to see this one in Cd format as well. Bring it on, please.

I remember appreciating 'Come Together' as a child. I still particularly like 'God So Loved The World'. I saw 'Come Together' performed at the Gwennap Pit open air amphitheatre in Cornwall (something of an English Christian 'heritage site' because John Wesley preached there in the 18th century). I have the vinyl LP, unfortunately it's the second (1974) UK pressing (the one in the gatefold sleeve) with the inferior (unintentional?) mono mix (though the label says stereo). This version has some of the acoustic guitar parts missing (I know, because a friend of mine had the first UK pressing from 1973). Would love to see 'Come Together' issued on CD and be able to hear the full correct mix again after all these years.

Have just rediscovered this on vinyl. Forgotten how good it is. Amazingly after 15 + years still remember the lyrics. Record is a bit scratched so would live to find iron CD

Would you be so kind as to post the lyrics? My husband remembers the tune but believes he's missing some of the words and wonders whether there's a second verse. He is pastor of our church and we together are 2 of 3 parts of the main music ministry team, plus we have a small choir.
