Asylum Choir II is the 2nd and final album of the studio aggregation consisting entirely of Leon Russell and Marc Benno. It was recorded, and meant to be released in 1969, but legal hassles held up its release for two years. The CD re-release contains all but two of the tracks from their first LP as bonus cuts.
