Gene Townsel - Time Wounds All Heels - Charly Records LP
Gene Townsel - Time Wounds All Heels - UK Charly LP Another great release from Charly Records ,with this superb album from Gene Townsel ,originally recorded at Tangerine studios in 1975 and finally released on the Dobre label in 1978 .From the opening track,the cleverly titled and Deep Soul flavoured “ Time Wounds All Heels “ ,Gene takes the listener through a very personal journey of love and heartbreak ,but delivered in a very uplifting way ,especially on the tracks “ I’m Walking Away “ and “There’s No Use Hiding “ ,which have remained very indemand tracks on the Modern / Crossover Soul scene ,with beautiful production and arrangements by Gene and Anita Mitchell ,using strings and guitar riffs to great effect . Most of the tracks are self penned by Gene ,though two Bill Withers songs are included “ Hope She’ll Be Happier “ and the medley of “ I’m Her Daddy / Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast “ ,ending with a cover of the classic “ The Impossible Dream “ .Interesting to read in the credits that Clydene Jackson was involved in backing vocals .Apparently the reason why the original album is so rare ,is because Dobre Records was a tax shelter ,and very few copies became available in the marketplace .It’s good to see this album finally reissued on vinyl ,and able to reach a larger audience.Thanks to an interview by Colin Dilnot with Gene Townsel for the inside information on this project .

Is he the same guy as Gasmaskheadhunter as Albert Brico has a lot of photos wearing a gas mask ? It’s a theory anyway ….- King Errison - The King Arrives - Charly Records

The key track here is “ Zola “ ,also released on a 45 ,and a massive play on the Rare Soul scene of the mid 70’s ,a manic ,infectious bongo led side .The rest of the album could be described as Jazz with a Caribbean flavour ,with an array of highly regarded musicians such as : David T. Walker ,Wilton Felder ,Preston Love and George Bohannan .If you are a lover of Jazz this album is worth investigating.- News: King Errison - The King Arrives - Charly Records

It was an excellent film ,as was the Symphonical Records piece also .The producers were still filming yesterday and at Liverpool ,so the film will probably be extended eventually.The Q & A and after party was also great ,good to witness a Ruben Molina set first hand .- Butch Plays - Titles Wanted Please
It was issued a while back as “I’m Knocking At Your Heart “ but the mix issued didn’t have the bells in it- Butch Plays - Titles Wanted Please
It’s Darrell Banks “ Don’t You Know How Much I Wanna Love You “ Acetate .- Backing singers
Not Soul related ,but just reading the sleeve notes to The Rolling Stones “ Exile On Main Street “ Album ,and Clydie King is heavily featured as a backing vocalist …- P.P Arnold - The Immediate Sessions - Charly LP
P.P.Arnold - The Immediate Sessions - Charly LP This is a brand new album from Charly Records ,celebrating 60 years of Immediate Records and showcasing the talents of P.P.Arnold ,by way of a series of never released demos ,studio alternative and stereo mixes . The album opens with a great version of the oft recorded “ Piece Of My Heart “ a superb version .Next is a demo version of the wonderful “ Angel Of The Morning “ which doesn’t differ too much from the issued take .” Little Girl” is a really nice ballad ,followed by an alternate version of “ If You See What I Mean “ which was the flip side of “ The Time Has Come “ on a 45 .Side A ends with “ Baby ,You’ve Got A Good Thing Going “ ,a really good demo with organ backing and loud femme chorus . Side two opens with the classic “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright “ a stereo remix which really showcases the song to great effect in a way I’ve never previously heard .”Is This What I Get For Loving You “ is an alternate version ,first recorded by The Ronettes and included on P.P. ‘s “The First Cut “ album .A duet with Rod Stewart follows “ Come Home ,Baby “ originally issued by Wilson Pickett .This is excellent ,in a stereo remix form .” Letting Go Of A Beautiful Thing “ is a demo also known as “ Sweet Thoughts “ ,an excellent Motownesque dancer .” How Does It Feel To Be Lonely “ finds Ms Arnold in a heavy ,psychedelic mood ,for me the weakest track .This fine album ends with a duet version of “ ( If You Think You’re ) Groovy “ with The Small Faces . Mention should be given to the stunning front cover ,and also the back cover with the track details and photos of the master tape boxes ,excellent stuff !!
