Please Don't Throw Me to the Christians explained

Please Don't Throw Me to the Christians is an unfinished and unreleased album by English singer-songwriter Eddie Stanton. It was to be released on Wild Willy Barrett's record label "Black Eye" which had, by the time the album had been fully recorded, folded. The fate of five of these songs rested in Barrett's album Organic Bondage, which he arranged to fit his style. Other tracks have been since recorded by Barrett later on in his career.

Despite not being released, two singles – containing firstly two tracks culled from the album and secondly re-recordings of two of the songs – were released on Barrett's record label.

Circa 2007, Stanton made the twenty tracks recorded for the album available on his website;
