However, the mixing board had been used many years previously to record one of Elvis Presley's number-one hits. The tape was recorded in the same period than All Your Life, both of which were given away at their concerts.[5][1] All your life was an independent set of acoustic numbers, a reflection of folk-oriented sets that were played at conservative venues, like nursing homes and churches, whose audiences would otherwise be unreceptive to the borderline heavy metal that Resurrection Band otherwise played[1] and which were contained in the rock set Music To Raise the Dead.[3] The cassette was re-released in a limited number of copies by the band's own label, Grrr Records, in 1992. It is considered a collector's item and is extremely hard to find.[2] The song "Quite Enough" was re-recorded in a live version on the 1984 album Live Bootleg.

So that was the 'All Your Life' tape. And then 'Music To Raise The Dead' which was just the rock set. That was really the thing that we were about. We released both. We went in and probably over a period of three or four days recorded both little cassette tapes. I don't even remember how many we pressed up of each, but we sold out in just a few months." 3 : Resurrection Band albums|1974 albums|Demo albums |
