Vocal Shades And Tones
is a miraculous leftfield library classic from the genius mind of celebrated UK composer/singer/vocal arranger
Barbara Moore
. It's a heavenly groove-based blend of jazz, Latin, soft-psych, folk-funk and gospel soul. Recorded for the legendary Music De Wolfe in 1972, it's an audacious start-to-finish listen, as dizzying as it is dazzling. It's a perfect snapshot of a musical era, supported by Moore's glorious vocal arrangements. Widely regarded among collectors, DJs, and lounge/easy-listening acolytes as an absolute essential it is viewed as the holy grail by many production music heads, rarely appearing for sale and disappearing in a flash when it does. Just one of the reasons why this fresh Be With reissue, part of a wider De Wolfe reissue campaign, is so utterly crucial. In the 1960s, Barbara Moore was a member of
Top of the Pops
' resident vocal-harmony group,
The Ladybirds
and sang backing vocals for
Dusty Springfield
's TV show. Her own outfit, the
Barbara Moore Singers
, were regulars on TOTP, singing with
Jimi Hendrix
when he performed "Hey Joe" live in Lime Grove Studios. By 1970, she was working as a session singer for De Wolfe and, by 1972, was composing her own tracks for De Wolfe and working within their tight creative strictures. Each short track had to evoke an obvious mood and theme, with no significant key or tempo changes. Her response, this very album, managed to stay between the lines while cohering as an overarching artistic masterpiece. The audio for
Vocal Shades And Tones
has been carefully remastered by Be With regular
Simon Francis
, ensuring this release sounds better than ever.
Cicely Balston
's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. The original, iconic sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.
