 Ebay auction description: "//WXIR Christian Album Project Volume II// (Star Trax 512057X, no date - but approximately 1986). Nearly impossible to find compilation LP!! This was the second in a series of four annual compilations of indie contemporary Christian music artists from central Indiana in the mid-1980s. Radio station WXIR-FM (Plainfield, IN), the CCM radio station serving the Indianapolis market in the 1980s and 1990s, sponsored an annual contest in the mid- to late-1980s that culminated in ten original songs being chosen for inclusion on a "WXIR Christian Album Project" LP. In the early years, one song was chosen for the top prize - a recording contract with a CCM label; the winner of the very first project was Ray Boltz, whose debut album //Watch The Lamb// on Heartland Records was his prize for winning this contest, and ultimately launched his successful CCM career. This particular LP was the second in this series, and although there is no date anywhere, it was released around 1986. This particular release included an obscure but nevertheless very early (1986!) attempt at Christian rap--the song "Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego" by [[Roger Byrd]]." Ebay auction description: "//WXIR Christian Album Project Volume II// (Star Trax 512057X, no date - but approximately 1986).
