Paul
Orwell’s second 7” single, following his fantastic debut, ‘Tell Me, Tell Me’, sold out
all 250 copies on pre-order well before the official release date. Thankfully,
one of those copies was destined for me (thank you Adam).
The
A-side, ‘You’re Nothing Special’, is a big spacious mid-paced recording of
excellent quality and fully deserving of a single release. With this song, we
get another dimension to Paul’s song-writing, performing and production
talents. It feels like this could almost be a long lost song from the opening
sequence of a classic British movie from 1966/67 – awesome.
Side 2
gives us the excellent, Like I Did Before’, which is a driving sixties, beat,
garage slab of finery which will get your foot tapping at the very least (and
possibly a lot more). Another great track that could so easily have been the
A-side in its own right.
With Paul’s
forthcoming June LP limited to a pressing of 500, and a third 7” due in August,
genuine fans need to be on their toes smartish and make themselves known to
Heavy Soul Records. It’s immensely refreshing to see a label so steeped in
integrity that it will not be selling copies to anyone suspected of putting these
releases on Ebay or the like – this is a label and artist for genuine fans
only. You have been warned!
