BB Seaton - After All This Time - Soul Beat

For little more than the price of a single CD you get this amazing

collection of music 49 tracks over two CDs. The first is the lovers

set. There are no years of release on the tracks - but the starting

point must be 'Can't Hide The Feeling' released in the UK as by The

Gaylads it was a classic then, and its just better over the years. Its

got that classic Beverley's sound - with BB and the Gaylads spending

time with Leslie Kong its no great surprise. When BB turned his hand

to covers he does so with great style. 'Thin Line Beyond Love And

Hate' , 'Sweet Caroline' and 'Lean On Me' being great examples. The

Roots And Culture CD is even more amazing. BB's first debut album was

for Virgin back in 1974 - it was the first work to come of Channel One

- and this CD includes at least two tracks 'Brothers Beware' and

'Everybody Loves A Winner' even then those tracks sounded advance - a

bit like the stuff that Keith Hudson was working on back then. But

those tunes were just the just beginning and this incredible

collection proves.

"B.B.Seaton - Dancing Shoes - Caroline - 1974 The Gaylads like so many of the great Ska/Rock Steady groups broke up in the early seventies. Usually they reformed but without the main singer/songwriter - who in their case happened to be B.B.Seaton. This is B.B.'s second LP as a solo singer. And is one that finds him on a major label - Caroline being part of Virgin Records. 'Dancing Shoes' is notable for being the first album to be recorded at Channel One, with Sid Bucknor at the controls. Lyrically there are 3 or 4 classics, with the balance being average."
