Joycelyn Phillips - Insurance Policy

PLEASE READ THIS. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. Up to today, I have put three hundred and eleven videos up here on YouTube, and they have been viewed nearly two million times, according to my account information on my home page. Two million hits is, I feel, a pretty amazing achievement for the music that I love. Well basically, if my hundreds of long long hours putting up free videos for you to watch, have brought you any form of enjoyment or satisfaction at all, then PLEASE PLEASE, I ask you, no I BEG you to do just one thing in return. PLEASE support the "Yesterday And Tomorrow" album, and show me that you care about this music. I have put my heart and soul, and thirty three years of my career into this album, and we're flying blind, doing it ourselves and without a distributor. Unless people take the trouble to go to our website, which at the moment has a direct link to the album on E-Bay, or unless people go onto amazon.co.uk and search for the album, they are simply not going to find it in their local shop. I put a huge amount of loving care into these videos on YouTube, and nearly two million hits prove it's not in vain. Surely you can spend just fifteen pounds of your money and buy it, just to show me I am not wasting my time. PLEASE do this for me, PLEASE. It's painful and heartwrenching to see it sell so little, mainly because it's not easily available. So PLEASE show me your support, and I shall continue to do my bit to bring you this music. I ask you not to ignore this plea - I need to see a sign that people care. I would hate to be so disheartened that I remove all my 311 videos from here. So just this once, all I ask of you is to do your bit, and please buy this one CD.
Joycelyn Phillips was the mainstay of Eastbound Expressway, who first became born in 1976, when I recorded a song called "Danger Zone" for Pye Records, by Ian Levine And The Sounds Of Summer, and Pye Records decided the name was too self indulgent, so I came up with Eastbound Expressway. Then in 1977 we released "Cloudburst" on Contempo Records. Then, in 1978, when AVI Records fell in love with a track off the first James Wells album, called "Never Let Go', but hated and loathed James' rather over the top wailing on it, the REAL Eastbound Expressway was born. "Can't you just use the music and the girl backing vocals, and lose him ??" was the question, so indeed we had to find a name for the group, and suddenly the record became a hit on Billboard's black charts and got recognised as early R&B, to the extent that it became a cult record to this day. So we did an album for AVI of girl-group led disco in 1979. Jump forward seven years to 1986 and the gay anthem "You're A Beat", and the massive US dance hit follow up, "Knock Me Senseless", even got played at The Superbowl. Joycelyn, Karen, and Bonnie, became our new Eastbound Expressway, and made these anthems that got played from London to Sydney. And incidentally, Joycelyn still looks fabulous twenty one years later. And of course, this song comes from "Disco 2008" which is still available on Centre City Records.
