ALAN PRICE/BETWEEN TODAY AND YESTERDAY K 56032 (-74) UK

 

Counting his work with Alan Price Set, his "Together" collaboration with Georgie Fame and the "O Lycky Man!" soundtrack this was his sixth solo album after leaving The Animals 1965. But with all that'd been between this and his charting sixties singles (can be heard on the superb 1970 collection "The World Of Alan Price"  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2021/10/alan-pricethe-world-of-alan-price-pa-77.html  ) it's amazing this has the exact same atmosphere as those. Warm and snug, guaranteed to put you in a cozy mood. Side one has songs in a twenties or thirties style handeling British working class issues, while side two comes with a more modern appeal. Rear side image also mirrors different times, having large picture with him as a kid and smaller of him grown up. All cuts penned by Price who also produced. Though I really like the "today" side two a lot - and then especially "Look At My Face" and "Angel Eyes" - the "yesterday" music-hall style songs makes my heart beat even faster with joy. That's good all through, but if to pick some favorites from it - "Left Over People", "In Times Like These" and "Jarrow Song". The audio is excellent and very good to the ears. To my taste in all a very enjoyable album. 1974 issues  on Warner Brothers in US, Canada, Japan, Downunder and over Europe. Also as US cassette and 8-track. UK 2003 CD on Castle Music (CMRCD 739) came with five bonus tracks. Premiere UK had label as shown here in a thin matt cover. (ÄNÄ*)
