5.0 out of 5 stars Criminally under-rated, 26 Jul 2003
By Simon F (Dublin) - See all my reviews
Imagine Aretha Franklin jamming with Brian Jones-era Rolling Stones while Phil Spector puts on the finishing touches behind the mixing desk - you've just caught a glimpse of how good this collection is. From the stomping Speak To Me to to the gorgeous Dreaming via wonderful covers of Beach Boys, Beatles and Stones staples, this is simply some of the most magical soul music I have heard in a long long time. There's something about the production on these songs, as well as Pat's fantastic vocals, that seems to give them a timeless quality, and I would recommend it not just for soul fans but fans of good music in general - with the haunting acoustic refrain of Life Is But Nothing, I find no surprise that Pat went on to sing back-up for Nick Drake, while other moments recall the simple beauty of some Beth Gibbons songs. Looking for something beyond Tina, Marvin, Stevie et al? Look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pat Gives You All Of Her Heat, 21 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Of the three P.P. Arnold CDs on offer here this is the fullest with a whopping 28 tracks. Don't be put off by the 'little girl lost' promo shots that adorn the excellent CD booklet because P.P. has is all woman, all emotion.

That such a vocal talent should not be up there with Tina Turner and Dionne Warwick is a crime only repeated playing of this CD at volume can correct. Immediate's choice of material is good if not innovative. I'd have liked to see her cut more soul stompers and less Brit ballads, but that's the sixties for you.

The short Kafunta pieces make this album even more complete. Sing it Pat! Baby, baby, baaabyyy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Obscure sixties soul singer, 17 Jan 2004
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
PP began her professional career as an Ikette, backing Ike and Tina Turner. They supported the Rolling Stones on a UK tour in 1966, during which time PP quit the Ikettes and went solo. This compilation contains her sixties music. Originally released with 23 tracks, this revised edition contains 28 tracks including all original 23, though the running order is completely different.

PP had her first and biggest hit with First cut is the deepest, a Cat Stevens song that just failed to make the UK top ten. Her other UK hits were Angel of the morning (yes, that song) and If you think you're groovy. PP was encouraged to write her own songs and several good ones are included here, although none of them are well-known.

The collection includes covers of songs written by the Beatles (Eleanor Rigby, Yesterday), the Beach boys (God only knows), the Rolling Stones (As tears go by - a hit for Marianne Faithfull) and the Bee Gees (To love somebody - a UK hit for Nina Simone).

PP had a style somewhere between Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin. She should have been more successful than she was, but such is life. If you are a discerning fan of sixties soul music, give PP a chance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Little singer - big voice, (shame about the material and production) !!
First things first, P.P (Pat) Arnold is one hell of a vocalist, such a big, big voice and I have always been an admirer of her dynamic style and delivery. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Mid Atlantic Gems
P.P. Arnold was 'discovered' by Cat Stevens, performing as an Ikette behind Ike & Tina Turner. He brought her to the UK and did much to promote her career. Read more
