Product Description
Alice Clark only recorded three sessions that produced two singles and one album, all of which are sought-after classics. BGP's release of "The Complete Studio Recordings: 1968-1972" brings those recordings together for the first time.

Opening with her Northern Soul classic `You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me)' recorded for George Kerr, the CD also features a previously unreleased and incredible slice of deep soul called `Before Her Time'. All the tracks from her 1972 album for Mainstream Records, a wonderful slice of Big City New York soul are here that include two massive club classics `Don't You Care' and `Never Did I Ever Stop Loving You'.

Both the album and the single `You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me)' would set you back well over three figures even if you could find one to buy.

Although little is known about Alice Clark, BGP have managed to coax some memories from Billy Vera and have had access to some amazing studio shots from the Mainstream sessions to make up a beautifully illustrated booklet.

I think they're stretching it a bit in the product description... the Mainstream album is more "dull early 70s jazz-pop" than "Big City New York Soul".

I LOVE Alice's voice but I think most of the tracks she recorded are nothing special.

Just can't figure out why the songs are not in the order of the LP? I hate when labels do that.

Dunno, maybe they thought the new order is better?


Is George Kerr a recluse or something? AFAIK he's still alive, they could have interviewed him about Alice.
