SRC have finished their third Capitol album, The New Crusader. Before work began on this third album the SRC decided to produce it themselves...that brought about the termination of John Reese’s service. Reese had produced the last two, and had been responsible for a nationwide hit, Happiness, by the Shades Of Blue, before joining the SRC.

The New Crusader is marked by an increase in the use of harmony. In prior albums the group sound was mostly the voice of Scott Richards and an occasional part by A1 Wilmot, bass player. Scott calims that they have discovered a better way to record harmony than is used by most groups. This may be the recording technique used to produce Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young music (although it doesn’t produce the same technique). The highlight of the album may turn out to be the forty piece orchestration used to back one of Scott’s vocals. And then again, it may be By Way Of You.
