Enlightment- Faith Is The Key (RSD Essential Sunglow Vinyl) (PREORDER)
Founded by ordained bishop Larry H. Jordan and his brother-in-law Frank Tinsley in the early 1980s, Enlightment was among the first groups to fuse modern R&B production with gospel themes. Unfortunately, the independent release of their 1984 debut album Faith Is The Key was torpedoed when both their distributor and pressing plant went out of business. "We knew we were getting airplay across the country, but we couldn't get the product in the stores at the time", explains Tinsley of the missed opportunity. Only a handful of Faith Is the Key LPs ever made it into the public's hands. As a result, the record became a holy grail for collectors.
