KIRSTY MACCOLL

Kirsty MacColl - See That Girl (1979 - 2000) [2023] (8 x CDs)

Kirsty Anna MacColl was an English singer-songwriter, born on October 10, 1959, in Croydon, England. She was the daughter of folk singer Ewan MacColl and recorded several pop hits in the 1980s and 1990s. Her first hit as a songwriter was “They Don’t Know” for Tracey Ullman in 1983. Her work combined sharp wit with strong melodies, often incorporating Cuban and Brazilian rhythms. Tragically, she died in a boating accident in Cozumel, Mexico, on December 18, 2000.

Kirsty MacColl’s box set, “See That Girl” (1979-2000), is a tribute to her enduring talent and versatility. Released 23 years after her untimely death, this 8 CD box set celebrates her life and music. MacColl was one of the most talented and versatile singers and songwriters of her generation, with a career spanning from the late 1970s until the early 2000s. Her music ranged from pop, rock, folk, country, Latin, and more. The box set is meticulously curated, bringing 161 tracks showcasing Kirsty as a writer and a performer. The 8 CDs are housed in a 10” 60-page hardback book with notes from Jude Rogers, Arts / Culture journalist for the Sunday Times, The Guardian and Observer collecting interviews with family, friends and collaborators. It includes a mix of hits, album tracks, live recordings and 47 previously unreleased recordings including her second album ‘Real’, recorded in 1983, which was sequenced and ready to go but ended up languishing in a vault but never released. ‘Lullaby For Ezra’, was on this album.

Kirsty released five albums during her lifetime - Desperate Character (Polydor, 1981), Kite (Virgin, 1989), Electric Landlady (Virgin, 1991), Titanic Days (ZTT, 1993) and Tropical Brainstorm (V2, 2000).  The first CD features MacColl’s singles, from her debut, “They Don’t Know” in 1979 to her last “In These Shoes?” released in February 2000. It showcases her knack for catchy melodies, witty lyrics, and expressive vocals. It’s a testament to how fast music was moving at the time that this sounds so different from her debut "Desperate Character". That’s Hans Zimmer on keyboards, well short of his bombastic soundtrack heights, giving “Bad Dreams” a new wave foundation underneath a generally funky beat.It’s interesting to hear her songwriting develop from the ’60s influenced “Keep Your Hands Off My Baby” through “He’s On The Beach” via “Walking Down Madison” to her later ‘world’ influenced tracks such as "Mambo De La Luna". Other highlights include nine tracks from Kirsty’s 1992 Glastonbury performance, a Jazz Cafe set from 1999 and live performances originally recorded for BBC radio and television. The eighth and final CD in this set features a selection of collaborations with other artists, as either singer or songwriter, and illustrates how in-demand and versatile Kirsty’s extraordinary talents were.

It’s baffling how she was not more commercially successful when she was alive. 

“See That Girl” is an unbelievable piece of work in itself. It matches some of the tremendous box sets that have been released in the last few years that have endeavored to convey the same sense of occasion and gratitude to the lost and the forever majestic. It’s a set that has thoroughly enjoyed exploring, and it’s expanded appreciation for an artist whose work transcends time.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering Kirsty’s music, this deluxe set is a journey worth taking. It is a testament to Kirsty MacColl’s enduring legacy. Her music continues to inspire and captivate, and this box set is a fitting tribute to her remarkable talent. B)

VA - Best of Perception & Today Records [2012] (3 x CDs)

PERCEPTION & TODAY RECORDS

VA - Best of Perception & Today Records [2012] (3 x CDs)

The album “VA - Best of Perception & Today Records [2012]” is a compilation released by BBE Records. It features a diverse collection of tracks from the Perception & Today Records labels, which were home to many innovative jazz and soul artists in the early 1970s. The album was released in multiple formats, including 2 x Vinyl LP, Compilation, and 2 x CD, Compilation. It was also released as a 38 digital Compilation of which this is what is presented here. The album was mastered at Optimum Mastering.

This compilation, while titled “Best of Perception & Today Records,” offers a unique perspective rather than a definitive overview of these two influential New York labels from the ‘70s. The selection of tracks is thoughtfully curated and presents an alternative, equally enjoyable version of the labels’ history. Perception and Today might have been less mainstream compared to major labels, but they had their moments of glory. They introduced us to talents like Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, Johnny Hartman, Bobby Rydell, Astrud Gilberto, and the prodigious Lucky Peterson. Their chart successes were modest but meaningful. For instance, the Fatback Band’s first charting singles were on Perception, and Black Ivory, guided by the young and talented Patrick Adams, had five singles on the charts. The compilation includes a variety of artists, each contributing their unique flavor to the mix. From the family group Eight Minutes to the soulful J.J. Barnes, from the versatile Johnny Pate to the powerful spoken word artist Wanda Robinson, there’s something for everyone. So, while it might not have the biggest hits, this compilation certainly captures the spirit and diversity of Perception and Today Records. In fact, this compilation provides us a view of Manhattan’s black music scene of the period, from the established greats to the fresh young things who would make their mark in the coming years. This compilation is a testament to the rich musical history of Perception & Today Records, showcasing the labels’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Latin music. Enjoy the journey! (B)
