In light of the recent inclusion of my coproduction with Bobby Eli 'Soul Recession' by Double Exposure on the new Philly Re Grooved CD - The Tom Moulton Remixes, I thought I would share some of my new endeavours which are in demo form right now and are work in progress. Songs start somewhere, like 'Soul Recession' did. That started here in London in 2007. I cancelled my AVC pension contributions because there was no money in it, and put the money into a pot to go to Detroit and Philly to record. I mentioned to Bobby in passing that I think we were heading for a major recession and the song was born. Recorded in his studio in 2008, we released 8 mixes in 2009 and a couple of weeks ago Tom Moultons new remix is now featured on the Philly re-grooved afffair, which is a thrill. It's a bonus track accompanying some of the finest Philly cuts from the 1970's which inspired me to write songs.
version 16 of another east coast Salsoul sort of affair. Philly drums being done now on the track hopefully! Improved orchestration and counter melodies.
'A little of the big stuff' -
New stereo Philly drums being done and lyrics now complete with a view to vocals at some stage. This is another east coast style mid 70's number.
'Caesars reply' - mid 70's Philly style. Not uploaded this one yet. Philly drums being done at present, so will be available soon. If I can nail the Philly drums on the above, I will be entering uncharted territory with my productions. If I can do the vocals on any song myself, up a level too.
"Libby, let's leave it at that' - demo not quite available yet. This is a Beach Boys/Four Seasons style 1965 number which is ready to do the vocals on. So, I am looking for a 4/5 part harmony west coast style barber shop quartet to get cracking on it. I could do it here and have contacts, so I need to get my act together.
Hi everybody -
