Invigorating shots of spiritual jazz — the business, no sugar, no additives — in two versions from 1970, for tenor saxophone and space organ. Lovely artwork by Dick Higgins.
Fab.

‘Beautiful, haunting… spiritual reflection is sung with carnal force, songs of romance are rendered like hymns. For a few moments, on these ancient records, Baghdad sounds like paradise’ (Rolling Stone).

An amazing tribute, infatuated with this iconic Crystal, Blossom, Rebelette, Wildcat, Young Cougar, Pelican, Blue Jean and K-C-Ette — who sang Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) for Phil Spector.

Inspired singing, feel-the-vibes deejaying, and awesome Scientist/Tubbys mixes via Channel One in 1980.

‘brilliant… concise, deeply romantic, totally original ****’ (Mojo); ‘freewheeling and delightfully quirky ****’ (The Guardian); ‘CD Of The Week… terrific’ (The Observer); ‘like nobody ****’ (Sunday Times).

‘First vinyl release of the breathtaking songs Patty Waters recorded in 1970 at the Coast Recordings studio, together with the unreleased single My One And Only Love, and a live session recorded at Lone Mountain College in 1974.
‘Here is the missing link between the two groundbreaking ESP LPs from the end of the 60s and the late-90s releases. Whereas PW’s debut album Sings concerned itself with themes of heartbreak, loneliness, and yearning, You Loved Me is abundant with love, joy, and togetherness. Whilst Patti’s songs cross spiritual jazz and US folk revivalism, Touched By Rodin is a brilliant extended showcase for the uneasy Cageian minimalism of her piano playing.’
Patty Waters… admired by Albert Ayler, Miles, Patti Smith, Yoko Ono…
