Description
GEORGE JACKSON The Fame Sessions (2013 UK 12-track LP compilation album pressed on Audiophile quality 180 Gram Heavyweight Vinyl, comprises ten tracks featured on Kent's George Jackson Fame CDs plus two previously unreleased tracks, housed in a glossy picture sleeve. Although not sealed, this example remains in a 'near as new' condition) Tracklisting & Info:One of the finest voices in Southern Soul, George Jackson's success as a writer meant he wasn't pushed as an artist and so his vinyl output is disappointingly small. Kent Records is rectifying that with this 12-track LP. It comprises ten tracks featured on Kent's George Jackson Fame CDs plus two previously unreleased tracks. Backed by either the classic Fame rhythm section of David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Barry Beckett and Jimmy Johnson or by the Fame Gang the tracks selected show George working through some of his most famous compositions as well as some lesser-known gems. Kent open with his version of I m Just A Prisoner (made famous by Candi Staton), while further numbers were championed by Wilson Pickett, Clarence Carter and Spencer Wiggins. All are given a distinctive reading by their composer. Others such as the astounding I Bit Off More Than I Can Chew languished in the vaults, unrecorded by anyone, a victim of Jackson s extraordinary work-rate. Two new songs Add A Little Sunshine and That From The Heart keep the quality high. Released with the full co-operation of Fame Records, the music is from the original source tapes, and comes housed in a sleeve that features photos from the Fame archive.A1 I'm Just A Prisoner 2:53A2 I Can't Leave Your Love Alone 2:37A3 Let The Best Man Win 2:57A4 Add A Little Sunshine 2:32A5 I Bit Off More Than I Can Chew 2:45A6 Bite The Hand That Feeds You 3:02B1 Don't Count Me Out 2:54B2 Double Lovin' 2:37B3 Greedy Over You 2:32B4 Get It When I Want It 2:29B5 Save Me 2:35B6 That From The Heart 3:27Year of Release – 2013Format – vinyl LP album (LP record)Record Label – Kent SoulCatalogue No – HIQLP002Country of Origin – United KingdomBarcode – 029667000215
