2nd Resurrection

2nd Resurrection is a high-quality, overlooked soul album from the band that gave us soul classic ‘Ooh Child’ when they were the Five Stairsteps. Featuring synths and engineering from Malcolm Cecil, whose unmistakable Arp programming and playing can be heard on the instrumental ‘Theme Of Angels’ and throughout, the quality on show here — in the playing, singing, production, arrangement and songwriting — is consistent through the entire album. Add it to the list of weirdly ignored great soul albums of the seventies.
