ALICE CLARK – Alice Clark
(2022 Reissue)

CD
(Remastered & housed in a Deluxe Gatefold Sleeve.)

When it comes to legendary albums, very few can match the cult status achieved on the international jazz and funk scene, by Alice Clark’s eponymous album, recorded for Mainstream Records in 1972. The record which went unnoticed when it first came out has become one of the most sought-after albums ever since it became cult on the London jazz and funk scene in the late 80s. It is now being acknowledged as one of the best soul albums of all-times.

Recorded live over two days at the Record Plant studios in New York City, the album was produced by Bob Shad and arranged by Jazz veteran Ernie Wilkins with a big band setting. The music is a superb mix of jazz and soul blessed by Clark’s superb singing and including two all-time favourites, Don’t You Care and Never Did I Stop Loving You plus a selection of heart-wrenching songs beautifully sung by Clark. Very little is known about Alice Clark and the legendary two-day session. All is known is she only ever recorded one album and passed away in the early 2000s.

Wewantsounds is now releasing a standard CD edition of Alice Clark’s highly sought-after Soul Jazz classic produced by Mainstream Records’ Bob Shad in 1972. Featuring the original artwork and liner notes and audio remastered from the original tapes, the album is an absolute must-have for all funk, soul and jazz lovers
