BEAU WILLIAMS "I'LL BE HOME SOON" - "OUTSIDE LOVE" HAND STAMPED 45 | PRE-ORDER TODAY | SHIPS FEBRUARY 20, 2014, | LIMITED PRESS | 500 COPIES

You may be familiar with Beau Williams as an accomplished modern soul artist for Capitol Records in the early 1980's.

Years before his Capitol releases, he recorded two powerful funky soul sides and submitted them as a demo to Lionel Whitfield’s Whit Label: the first about easily falling in love and the second about the difficult reality of maintaining it.

Rediscovered by David Haffner and Brian Sears of Magnetic Recordings from the tape archive of TSU jazz director Howard Harris in 2011,

Harris somehow came into possession of this material through his long-standing friendship and working relation-ship with Whitfield. The undeniably funky drumming sadly goes unaccredited but the understated arrangements and production combined with such emotional lyrics make for something special.

Presented here for the first time on Truth & Soul Records in a limited 500 copy pressing with hand stamped labels, sure to become a T&S cult classic, don't miss it.

Vocal recording on " i'll be" is a really overpowered by inst. is this just the sound clip or is the 7" the same. sounds great if vocal more to the fore.

When I visited with Johnny Pate in Vegas years ago, I chatted with him about his work with Beau.

He had nothing but good things to say about the guy.

I have a great photo of Johnny holding up one of Beau's albums but can't work out how to post it up here (no 'add image' facility).
