Sparrow Records has opened the vaults and unveiled a tons of new material from the late Keith Green, the first of which is to be found on the recent offerings The Live Experience and Greatest Hits. The Live Experience gives the greatest hint of the material to come with it’s bonus DVD offering that features never before seen live performances from TV appearances, festivals, concerts, and more as well as 60-minute documentary on the artist’s life.
The process of gathering such a large bulk of material is quite a story. In storage for 25 years, Melody Green was just waiting for the right time to do something with them, and felt commemorating his life after the 25 year point was important, and so handed the masters over to Sparrow, who then spent 18 months digitizing, cleaning up old reel to reel tapes, video tapes, cassette tapes, etc, and had Green’s concerts, which were all in various sorts of quality, fully restored.
2008 will start a two-year campaign unveiling not only new products of unreleased recordings but also an updated “Legacy Edition” version of the best-selling book No Compromise, with six new chapters (November), more previously unreleased recordings of Keith including songs he recorded as he was journeying to his faith in Christ, more previously unreleased recordings (Spring 2009), and ultimately a major motion picture release tentatively scheduled for 2009 telling Keith’s life story.
