DAYBREAK (2)
The second Daybreak
label of the 1970s was a short-lived Christian concern from Worthing. It
appears to have managed just two albums and a single, all of them in
1979. The albums were 'Free At Last' by the Majestic Singers
(BD-2601) and Dunamis's 'I Can Fly' (DB-2602). The single featured two
tracks from the latter, 'I Can Fly' and 'Jesus', the artists' name being changed
to Dunamis Roadshow for some reason. Its catalogue number was similar to
that of the album but with an added 'S' - DBS-2602. The music on it was
devotional Pop / Rock, with harmony vocals, and the lyrics are of the 'When our
God of Love comes all you sinners will be in the mire' variety. Both
albums were produced by Les Moir, who went on to work for prominent Christian
company Kingsway and was responsible for introducing the successful Survivor
label. Daybreak's address, 26 (?) Grafton Road, was the same as that of
publishers H.E. Walter Ltd, who specialized in Christian material; it seems not
unlikely that there was a connection between the two companies.
