Exclusively released for RSD (UK), Harmless Records announce the most anticipated "rare" soul double sided 7" releases of all time - James Fountain's "Seven Day Lover" together with Montclairs "Hung Up On Your Love" two of the most cherished Northern Soul recordings. Both tracks will be taken from the forthcoming 2CD+DVD package for the Northern Soul film which is due for release this Summer.
Lisa Stansfield’s new album, Seven, is her first in ten years, but she has been keeping herself busy, as she explains to Duncan Seaman for the Yorkshire Post Dear Lisa, on behalf of all of your fans around the world, we wish you an exceptional day and year ahead, filled with everything you hope for and more!
Happy Birthday from us all xxx Lisa joined the Daybreak team this morning and performed "Can't Dance". She later joined Aled Jones and Kate Garraway for a chat about her new album Seven and the film Northern Soul Used with kind permission of Mike Shaft (Listen to the 4 part interview below) "This story all began some years earlier when I received a new 12 inch single by a group called BLUEZONE which featured a young singer called Lisa STANSFIELD. It was a fantastic dance track and one which I featured heavily on my Piccadilly Radio Soul Show, 'TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS'. Lisa's voice was and is truly wonderful and I knew she was local to Manchester so I was delighted to be able to play it on the show. After winning the Licence to set up SUNSET RADIO in Manchester, I contacted YELLOW 2 studios in Stockport to get our jingle package done. We agreed on the strap line and we had to find a vocalist. It had to be LISA STANSFIELD. I got in touch with her record company who asked Lisa if she would do it. The message came back a few weeks later and it was no. I was devastated but accepted that that was it. A couple of weeks later I was at YELLOW 2 studios working on the music. Suddenly, in walks the secretary from the studio round the corner wanting to borrow a roll of fax paper. After a couple of minutes, she said, "You'll never guess who is in our studio? No we all said in unison."Well LISA STANSFIELD is in our studio". I could not believe it, this was my chance. I wasn't sure what I was going to say to her but I went over to the other studio and there was LISA, sitting on the couch drinking a cup of tea. I introduced myself and asked her why she had refused to do our jingle package. She said that she had been told that it was a pirate radio station, and she had been advised not to do it. When I told her it was a legal station and we were going to play SOUL MUSIC on the airwaves of MANCHESTER, she said she would be delighted to sing our jingles. Six weeks later LISA arrived at YELLOW 2 to record the SUNSET jingles. I had been looking forward to this day for months. Unfortunately, a couple of days before she was due in I came down with Chicken Pox and was not able to attend the recording session. We did end up with what many believed was the best jingle package ever recorded in this country. Our strap line was 'KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE'. In the week that SUNSET went on the air, October 1989, LISA STANSFIELD had her first hit in the UK and she was riding high in the charts with the single 'ALL AROUND THE WORLD'. We were all delighted that LISA'S voice was played all day on SUNSET on our jingle package. It really could not have been any better had we planned it ourselves. Some weeks after launching SUNSET, I contacted LISA'S record company to see if she would be available to come in for a live interview with me. The message came back, YES! We had a LISA STANSFIELD DAY, playing her music all day and she came in and spent a full hour with me. It was a wonderful day and a wonderful interview. It was certainly a day that I would never forget". Lisa appeared on BBC One's "The One Show" earlier talking about her part playing "Mum" in Elaine Constantine forthcoming movie "Northern Soul " She has a great soulful voice and also a bit of a potty mouth. Lisa Stansfield is back with her first album in 10 years. With plenty of swearing and lots of laughter, she tells us why she feared her time was over, compares the creative process to bodily functions and reveals what it was like to record in her own Rochdale studio, Gracieland. - click the photo for more details: |
