Little Richard The Second Coming Limited Opaque Red Vinyl LP
Overview:
The Architect’s third release for Reprise records. Pressed on opaque red vinyl. Mastered by Grammy®-winning engineer Michael Graves. Lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl/Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis Packaging contains liner notes from Bill Dahl. Naming his third album for Reprise The Second Coming may have been pushing the outrageousness a bit far, but considering his previously LP was titled King Of Rock And Roll it was clear that humility was not Little Richard’s strongest attribute. However, it was more a nod to the concept of the album, than the ego of the artist. Reuniting with Robert “Bumps” Blackwell and a host of studio musicians from the ’50s, the studio team was met by some of the top session players of the early ’70s at The Record Plant in Los Angeles to cut the album. Notable players like Lee Allen, Jim Horn, Earl Palmer, Chuck Rainey, and Sneaky Pete Kleinow were on hand for the proceedings. While Richard would exit the business soon after its release to follow his religious pursuits, The Second Coming marks the end of what could be called his second chapter. And, a third was on the way a decade later. The Second Coming is back as a 12" long player, and pressed on opaque red vinyl with a printed inner sleeve that includes liner notes by Bill Dahl.
