PP Arnold: The Turning Tide Kundalini Music CD/DL Released 6th October 2017 Unreleased late 60s album from the former Ikette, recorded in the aftermath of her successful stint at Immediate Records. Big names guest producers Eric Clapton and Barry Gibb are on hand for a treasure trove for PP watchers……Ian Canty almost explodes with anticipation of one of the great Soul voices’ rarest grooves….. PP Arnold’s story is one of a rare talent built on a never say die attitude. Displaying a precocious flair for song from a very early age, she got a start professionally in 1964 as an Ikette. There she took part in what must have been one of the most exciting stage shows ever to grace the boards with Ike and Tina Turner (must have been incredible to see them play with two such great performers on show), working hard on their gruelling tour schedule. Two years later Arnold quit and decided to stay in the UK to try her luck with a solo career. Vital support came from the unlikely direction of Mick Jagger and this brought her into the orbit of top 60s chancer Andrew Loog Oldham. Penning a deal with his recently launched Immediate label, she also fell in with the Small Faces, at the time on the form of their lives. PP became a backing vocalist for the Mini Mods and also the arrangement worked vice versa on The First Lady Of Immediate, her debut album. Unfortunately the dare-devil scamming of Loog Oldham meant the label couldn’t last and Immediate folded soon after her second album Kafu
