Eugene Paul with Mighty Megatons - Where's That Love? 7"
SKU: LQ151 OverviewDescription:
With the Reggae explosion in the UK (1968-69) and the rise of
record labels like Trojan or Pama Records, there could be usually
found recordings from artists from the local scene coming from the
afro-caribbean community. Besides of well known names like
Laurel Aitken, Dandy, Freddie Notes & The Rudies or Symarip,
the vinyl diggers knows very well other names such as Pat Rhoden,
Denzil Dennis, Errol English or Tito Simon, just to name a
few.
Our man, Eugene Paul,
comes from that music batch. Originally from Antigua, with a unique
blend and soul infected style, recorded singles for Trojan, Torpedo
and, over all, for Pama Records. He also took part in The Classics
along with Denzil Dennis (as Milton Hamilton replacement) and we
can also find him in the album ‘Man It's Reggae’ from Dave Smith
& The Pylots.
Tuco Salamanca was looking
for singers for some riddims he was producing at Golden Hen Studio
(known before as Tucxone Records). He got a session with Eugene in
London in October 2014. The recording was offered then to
Liquidator Music for its release, but the project was delayed and
delayed for years. During the recording of
Laurel Aitken's unfinished sessions, at Golden Hen studios,
Eugene's song was constantly appearing in the musicians
conversations during the recording session
breaks.
Finally, Salamanca offered
Toni Face to release that, nearly forgotten, project but with a new
focus: recording again all the musical backing, but now with the
Mighty Megatons and produced by Rudy King, now that both had been
producing some of the last and greatest Liquidator releases like
Laurel Aitken, George Dekker, Roy & Yvonne, Carrol Thompson and
Keith Rowe. This is the story of a
song that has matured for 9 years for becoming now at its perfect
mood. The master recipe has now been bottled and Liquidator offers
it now on 7 inch format.
