P.P Arnold releases her forthcoming Live Album ‘Live In Liverpool’ through earMUSIC.
2019 was a standout year for the acclaimed soul singer, as London’s ‘First Lady Of Soul’ released ‘The New Adventures of… P.P. Arnold’ – her first studio album of new material since the early 1970’s. The studio album featured stunning contributions from Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Cradock, The Specials and P.P.’s son, Kojo Samuel. Together with a nine-piece band, Arnold embarked on a UK tour to promote the record, culminating in the forthcoming release of her brand-new live album ‘Live In Liverpool’.
‘Live In Liverpool’ portrays the exciting grand finale of the highly acclaimed UK tour in support of the 2019 studio album, and was recorded at Grand Central Hall, Liverpool, UK, on October 18th, 2019. It features true P.P. Arnold classics, like ‘The First Cut Is The Deepest’ and ‘Angel Of The Morning’, as well as special live versions of the songs from ‘The New Adventures of… P.P. Arnold’, such as ‘I Believe’ and ‘Hold On To Your Dreams’, Paul Weller’s ‘Shoot The Dove’, a cover of The Beatles #1 hit ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and Steve Cradock’s ‘Magic Hour’.
“The gig at the Grand Central Hall was as magical as the beautiful architecture of the building”, P.P. Arnold recalls when asked about that special night in Liverpool. “I was over the moon with how well the concert had gone. Steve Cradock had pulled off the dream of performing the album live and it sounding so close to the original recording.”, she adds, “The band was brilliant, the girls sounded like angels, and I felt so good, so pleased that it had all gone so well.”
‘Live In Liverpool’ will be released on October 18, 2024, as 180g black double vinyl, packed in a high-quality gatefold jacket, as well as CD Digipak edition and on all digital platforms via earMUSIC.
