Mike Cotton - The Mike Cotton Sound [Expanded Edition] (2015)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. The Mike Cotton Sound started life as an acclaimed trad-jazz band before evolving into a jazzy Mod/R&B combo in 1963. Issued in 1964, the band's eponymous debut album is now a legendary rarity, with copies changing hands for up to £600. This is the first time it has ever been reissued on CD! This long-overdue reissue also boasts some 15 bonus tracks, taken from all their singles A's and B's plus a rare live recording. Included are subsequent singles of a more soulful persuasion, such as their dynamic cover of Bob & Earl's 'Harlem Shuffle', the first of a string of singles fronted by charismatic American R&B vocalist Lucas.
