For background please check post on his debute album https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/03/cliff-bennett-and-rebel-rousers-pmc.html . After leaving Rebel Rousers and gathering a new backing crew this became his last LP before joining Toe Fat https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/04/toe-fat-2c-062-04374-70-french.html . With only one self-penned cut it's a cover album where he's doing songs earlier recorded by Sam & Dave, Joe Tex, Charlie Rich, Easybeats and Marvin Gaye. It wasn't properly introduced at the time, only relased in a couple of countries and didn't sell at all. Listening today all that seem very unfair cause here's lots of quality. R&b and soul numbers proficiently produced and arranged by EMI veteran David Paramor, backed by brass band and/or full orchestra with enough instrumental twists and turns to keep me alert and smiling. All crowned by attractive vocals. He has a very good voice with a wide register and use it all with full control, which together with the backing and tophole audio makes this a very pleasant journey. Favorite tracks - "You're Breaking Me Up" and "Take Your Time". To my knowledge only issued on vinyl in UK (Parlophone PCS/PMC 7054) and Germany and that was it. 2000 UK CD on BGO (BGOCD 473) "Got To Get You Into My Life/Cliff Bennett Branches Out" as a twentyfour track with both full albums. First German had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with EMI ad inner. (GÖXÄ*)
