P.P. ARNOLD - The First Lady of Immediate (1967) The First Lady of Immediate is the debut album by American soul singer P. P. Arnold, released in 1968 on the Immediate Records label. By the time the album was released, P. P. Arnold, then known as Pat Arnold, left the Ikettes after beginning a friendship with Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, and signed to Immediate Records, a record label owned by the Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Oldham. She re-recorded a version of a song written by Cat Stevens, "The First Cut Is the Deepest". It peaked at No. 18 on the UK chart. "The Time Has Come" peaked at No. 47 on the UK chart, while "(If You Think You're) Groovy" peaked at No. 41. 01 (If You Think You're) Groovy 02 Something Beautiful Happened 03 Born To Be Together 04 Am I Still Dreaming 05 Though It Hurts Me Badly 06 The First Cut Is The Deepest 07 Everything Is Gonna Be Alright 08 Treat Me Like A Lady 09 Would You Believe 10 Life Is But Nothing 11 Speak To Me 12 The Time Has Come 13 If You See What I Mean [Bonus Track] 14 Come Home Baby (with Rod Stewart) [Bonus Track] 15 (If You Think Yo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.P. ARNOLD - Kafunta (1968) PP Arnold's second LP for Immediate was Kafunta, released in 1968. This included covers of some established as well as tracks that Pat has made her own. The highlight has to be the stunning Angel of the Morning. This was written by Chip Taylor who also wrote Wild Thing. The contrast between the two songs can hardly be greater! Eddie Phillips was her bass player as a member of TNT, her regular backing band. He had previously been in the Creation. Coincidentally, her driver at the time was Kenny Pickett, Phillips' co-writer and lead singer in the Creation. Although TNT backed her on this LP, there are several songs that have full orchestral backing with arrangements by John-Paul Jones. 01 Letter To Bill 02 Kafunta One 03 God Only Knows 04 Eleanor Rigby 05 Yesterday 06 Angel Of The Morning 07 It'll Never Happen Again 08 Kafunta Two 09 As Tears Go By 10 Kafunta Three 11 To Love Somebody 12 Dreamin' 13 Kafunta Four 14 Welcome Home ---------------------------------------------------------- P.P.
