Peter Lamarr - Under Lock And Key

This is our brand new seven inch single, released on Soul Intention Records, a label run by Phil Dick and Ian Dewhirst. Peter Lamarr sings "Under Lock And Key", and I have already embroiled myself in controversy on internet Soul forums by claiming this is the single BEST Northern Soul record I have EVER MADE. I think it is simply wonderful. Peter comes from Detroit and spent about twenty years performing with The Drifters, settling over in England to live. We also have a new solo track coming out by him for our brand new album, "Soul Steppers" - due for release in late February 2009. A delectable new album of "Modern-Room" style Northern Soul. Classic retro soul, owing more homage to Gamble and Huff and the sound of Philadelphia and the mid 1970s rhythms, than to the usual Sixties style. Midtempo and Uptempo soulful sizzlers to warm the embers of your heart, and take your feet totally out of control, and that beautiful mid-tempo lilter is called "Taking You For Granted". And for that same album, as one of the bonus tracks for the DVD, we have teamed Peter Lamarr together with Gina Foster for an amazing duet on "Miracles", another song bursting with hope for the future, the main theme of this album. While recording the album, and Peter singing both "Taking You For Granted" and "Miracles", his voice gave me such goosebumps that there and then, on the spot, I created, with Clive Scott, what I aimed at being the ultimate Northern Soul record. And here it is. Purists will despise it. Anyone with an open mind will love it. Please play it loud and dance in the street to its joyous exhuberance.

Sry for posting again, but this one is the bomb. I don´t know how many times I listend to this song this evening. Man, I wish there would be more from those stuff - but I´m glad that a few people like you, osaka mono rail, the new mastersounds or sharon jones & the dap kings are working hard for such kind of music - and for my pleasure.
