"PP Arnold’s Lost Sessions With Eric Clapton, Derek & The Dominos, Barry Gibb For October Release"

I saw PP Arnold as part of the Sandy Denny tribute concerts 5 years ago. Even in that excellent company she absolutely raised the roof. A stunning performance which lives in the memory. `Old Fashioned Waltz' , `I'm A Dreamer' and `take Me away' i think it was. She filled the Bridgewater Hall with that glorious voice.

 

Vinyl too!

The latest from Pat's Facebook page:

Hey Everybody, It's so good to be back. Hope that you're all well and keeping a positive, hopeful outlook while having to digest the emotional pain of all the recent horrific tragedies and the total chaos of the politics everywhere. We have to stay positive as we pass through this time of upheaval and change and hold on to our dreams and each other regardless of our race, creed, sex and religious beliefs. We've come a long way, but we've still got a long way to go. I've been a very busy bee under the radar finishing my book, putting my new Heritage album 'The Turning Tide' together with my manager Sally Cradock and the help of Steve Cradock, the support of Paul Weller giving us the use of his Black Barn Studios and the assistance of his engineer Charles Rees, who did the final mixes that began at the Sensible Studios with Jon Moon engineering. It's been quite a journey that thanks to Dick Ashby, Bill Levenson, Jeff Allen and Simon Long who all got the ball rolling this music will finally see the light of day. Steve Cradock has also been producing my new album which we're all very excited about that will be released in the spring of 2018. My new webpage at www.pparnold.com is under construction and should be totally finished by the end of this week, but here's the fall tour dates for the 'live' shows. http://www.pparnold.com/tour-dates/. God Bless and keep you all safe and secure. Love, 'Light', Peace, Joy, Happiness and Music

 

Is there going to be a vinyl release? I hope so.

 

Yes -- see post #27 above!

 

Sorry missed that – thanks!

 

The album cover:

 

It would be nice to include the single mixes of "Bury Me Down by the River" and "Give a Hand, Take a Hand" as bonus tracks.

 

Was "The First Cut Is The Deepest" mono mix ever issued on CD?

 

It's in mono on the Immediate Singles Collection from 2000, on Sequel. I have no idea if that's "the" mono mix, a fold etc.

 

You can hear clips of 4 songs at the following link:

ALBUM NEWS: PP Arnold to Unearth Lost LP ‘The Turning Tide,’ Produced by Barry Gibb & Eric Clapton

 

I thought they could also add the "Likely Piece of Work" single which was released in 1970 although it was produced by Jack Good rather than Gibb/Clapton...

P.P. Arnold - A Likely Piece Of Work

 

Keith Emerson's band "The Nice" were at one time P.P. Arnold’s backing band among others.

 

On one hand, it's a shame that she never achieved the fame and success that her peers did. On the other hand, she's never rested on her laurels and at 70 years old seems as hungry and willing to prove herself as ever.

 

Really great news!

 

Yes they would be nice to have, but aren't those tracks from Catch My Soul? The new reissue is meant to be more of an unreleased album than a compilation.

 

The two released Gibb produced tracks had nothing to do with Catch My Soul.

 

Right, I conflated the two posts. I thought we were talking about the Jack Good productions.

 

I almost fell off my sofa when this was the opening number on the Jools Holland show a few weeks back, PP and Madeleine Bell on backing vocals

 

From Billboard.com (more or less the same information already posted, but worth a bump for the thread)!

Soul Singer P.P. Arnold's Lost Album With Barry Gibb, Eric Clapton Cleared for Release

 

The album sampler sounds great. It's a shame they're going with such crappy cover art. The font is a terrible job - squashed on one plane, elongated on the other. I realise projects like these are done on a budget but the album artwork is the first thing people see.

There are much better, full colour images out there that could be easily cropped. Of course, such images would need to be licenced and may be more expensive than the one chosen but you only get one chance to make a first impression...





Even a rejig of the cover for this budget label compilation would be an improvement:

 

The German picture sleeve for "Bury Me Down by the River" could also be adapted to serve as the album cover.

 

I completely missed this news. Just sat down to read the new edition of Mojo magazine (Oct 2017, D.Grohl cover,) and read about this. Intrigued on the Clapton/Dominos connection.

I'm away on vacation at present. Can anyone verify if these sessions are listed in the Marc Roberty Clapton books? I thought the All Things Must Pass sessions were the first with the Dominos.

Off to pre-order now. Looks intriguing.

 

I like those very much. Anyone know the album length? I've pre-ordered the vinyl but interested if it's single vinyl (likely for purchase price,) how long the album is.

 

Nice new interview with PP Arnold:
