WOW! I ran across your myspace page and it brought back such great memories! I was part of a band from San Antonio (Joy Of Living) that played at the coffee house in San Marcos from time-to-time. I remember all you guys very well and all the great times that we experienced there. God is good!

Hello Randy
My salvation came about when I was 17 - a friend of mine had given his life to Jesus a year earlier, and had been a persistent witness to me ever since. He got nowhere until I agreed to go to see some of his friends get baptized, on the promise of a party afterwards!

The baptisms blew me away and I can't remember anything about the party... after two weeks of wrestling I gave my heart to Jesus. That night I thought I could hear singing, and I laid in bed experiencing amazing peace, concluding I'd heard angels singing. (I knew nothing about Spiritual things at this stage)

The following day I opened a book of daily readings that my friend had given me, and the first one was about the fact that (Luke 15:10)  "In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." I realized the Lord had let me hear Heaven partying over my salvation. Awesome!

I've now been a Christian for 30 years, lead a church with my wife, and can say God has been faithful all along

I heard Lib Suite at the University in Colchester UK (I think it was there) and got the album fairly soon after. I'd always been into Genesis, Deep Purple, Cream etc., and wanted music to be good as well as have a message. Lib Suite was proficient and communicated Jesus really well in the music. I'm glad to get another copy!

Tonight at our church we're showing the Video "First Love", which is about the years of the Jesus movement, mainly the 60's and 70's. Our Church has become increasingly hungry for more of the Lord and to see people here come to know Jesus. I've found that era to be inspirational because of the selfless love and commitment of different bands who carried the message to young people. It was about love and doing things God's way, and about simplicity too and accepting people for who they were. The music became inspirational to the UK in the mid-70's and several in my generation got saved at the same time. Were you part of Lib Suite at that time? Looking forward to getting the CD
Dave

Peace and  Grace,
James

I can't believe I found your website. I got it off of youtube. You should put more video clips on there. My brother gave me you record album in the late 70's or early 80's. Now that I'm 39 and just waiting for Christ to return. Glad to see you guys are still around.....Good luck and take care...Dave Crawford

Hi guys,
Glad to here you are still around. Your Gospel Music influenced my life, I remember being on the committee that brought the band to a town in Northern Ireland called Ballymena for a Gospel Concert in a Local dance hall.The Concert was an idea from the youth in the area.
God Bless,
Sam Millar

Great to meet on the internet! Never thought to get any matches on Liberation Suite when I googled. We were at the Johan Maasbach gig in Holland. Don't know when that was, but we were playing in a blues / rock gospel band ourselves at that time. Proof of Inspiration (well known at the Youth for Christ coffee bars in Holland ) I still play drums in a band with the guitar player of Proof 34 years later! He also saw you perform in The Hague. I'll try to buy your CD (we still have the vinyl record) and probably play it for many times.
Go on making good music!
So long,

Hi guys, you have no idea how pleased I am at discovering your web site I lost the original cassette of your Liberation Suite album many years ago, I’ve searched many record stores for a copy but thought I
would never hear you guys again this side of heaven .Just ordered the CD, can't wait to play it. Never got to thank you guys for the concerts in Belfast during the troubles in the 70s, I remember your last concert
in the Ulster Hall, what a night, anyway thanks guys we all appreciated you coming to Belfast so much, maybe you'll come back to see us again and we can show the kids how to rock 70s style. God bless.

I'm interested in getting sheet music or guitar tabs for 'Heal the Brokenhearted'. Possible? Thanks!

Hello to All,
I am very glad to say that I saw you play in Maghera back in the 70's it was brilliant, good songs from good players, I will never forget the Gibson SG in action. Was at Belfast too, does the name Alan Gibson
mean any to the Band. I am a cousin of John David Ashcroft the former A G of the USA Government.
Best wishes to Liberation Suite for all the good Gospel work.
-John Ashcroft

I just know the new CD will be excellent! Great samples... nice and long! The sound takes me back to the early "Maranatha!" bands. My wife and I would love to see you come to South Calif. and play soon! Thanks again Randy for all the love!

Hey Randy!
I used to go to the Apple a lot. I don't think I ever saw Lib. S. there. I have been a fan for many years. Since your first LP, I believe. I've just recently discovered many of my favorite 70's icons (like your band) have the old stuff on CD, so I'm having fun checking out all the sites. Glad you're sill around. If you're ever in town, let me know.
Laters, Dave

Dear Liberation Suite,

Thanks ! Joy

To Whom it Concerns:
Since my late pre-teens I have been a dedicated fan of Christian rock music. (That  takes me back to the early 80's.) Unfortunately, the first I ever heard of Liberation Suite was when I bought "The Rock
Revival: Original Music from the Jesus Movement" compilation CD. Your two songs on the collection really stood out for me.  So, now I get to the point of all this....where can I get your albums (preferrably on
CD)? I'd love to hear more.
Sincerely,
Paul Menzel

HELLO AND LONG TIME SINCE I LAST HEARD ANY LBS music! I was so pleased to find out that you still existed!  I have searched high and low for any info on you, without any success. In fact the most common response to my inquiries was, "WHO?" Apparently, many of my contemporaries have forgotten you or simply never knew you.  Some even looked at me in shock and said, "WOW, I haven't heard that name in many years.  One man, took me into his basement and showed me his VERY large collection of Jesus Music. Of course he had your album but he would not part with it.   Imagine that. So last night, I decided to do a www search for you and here you were, all tucked away so nice and neat. Well I ordered one of your CDs but found that LibSuite was on back order but I did order Fight for the Light. I cannot tell you how much your ministry meant to me back in the day. I know that the day will come when you stand before the Father and He says to you, "WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS!"  Soon. Well done Liberation Suite. I am glad your back. 
Mr. Ben Barton.
