Five Star – Silk & Steel (1986) Vinyl LP Record
You may also like
Silk & Steel is the second studio album by Five Star, released in 1986 on RCA Records. Produced by Nick Martinelli, it was the album that cemented the Pearson family group as one of Britain's biggest pop acts — reaching #1 in the UK Albums Chart and winning the group a BRIT Award for Best British Group in 1987. Packed with hit singles and polished to a high sheen, it captures Five Star at the absolute peak of their commercial powers: slick, soulful, and irresistibly radio-friendly. A genuine landmark of mid-80s British pop and an essential addition to any 1980s vinyl collection.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Can't Wait Another Minute — The lead single and one of the group's most recognisable tracks; a driving, hook-laden pop-soul anthem that reached #7 in the UK and became a defining Five Star moment.
- Rain or Shine — A smooth, melodically rich mid-tempo track that became a UK Top 3 hit; showcases the group's vocal harmonies at their most polished and remains a fan favourite.
- The Slightest Touch — A warm, soulful ballad with a gorgeous melody; reached #4 in the UK and is arguably the most emotionally resonant track on the album.
- Find the Time — An uptempo, rhythmically confident pop track that became a UK Top 10 hit; demonstrates the group's knack for crafting energetic, feel-good singles with real staying power.
- If I Say Yes — A breezy, melodically assured album track that adds depth to the record's second side; a solid deeper cut for collectors who appreciate Five Star beyond the headline singles.
