Soul Survivor: A Life in Song

Signed CD

NEWS: P. P. Arnold Soul Survivor: A Life In Song box set

The very first (and long overdue) career-spanning retrospective from Soul music legend P.P. Arnold

A 57 song 3CD set, or 25 song 2LP set featuring singles, album tracks, demos, and previously unreleased songs

A stylishly packaged collection with new sleeve notes by author Jude Rogers

A companion piece to P.P. Arnold’s critically acclaimed autobiography Soul Survivor

The term “well-established” might be appropriate for some artists but it barely begins to cover the career of the phenomenal P.P. Arnold, whose records and performances are now in their seventh decade. Her consistently excellent music covers multiple genres, her high-profile admirers and collaborators are plentiful, and yet ‘Soul Survivor – A Life In Song’ is the first collection dedicated to this extraordinary body of work.

Compiled by the artist, ‘Soul Survivor – A Life In Song’ is being released on a 57 song 3CD set, and 25 song 2LP set, both formats housed in an eye-catching sleeve created by photographer (and close friend) Gered Mankowitz, with extensive new sleeve notes by author Jude Rogers. Alongside key singles and album tracks it includes previously unreleased recordings, demo versions, live performances, and some rare mixes that are being reissued for the very first time.

From her early days at Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate label (where she “became one of us”, according to Andrew) her allies, associates, and working partners have included the Small Faces, Cat Stevens, Mick Jagger, Barry Gibb, Eric Clapton, Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Blockheads’ Chaz Jankel, Roger Waters, Ocean Colour Scene, The Blow Monkeys’ Dr. Robert, and Paul Weller.

In 2022 P.P. Arnold told her extraordinary life story in her critically acclaimed autobiography Soul Survivor (Mojo magazine called it “a jaw-dropping memoir”); now that book has the soundtrack that it deserves.

LONDON’S “FIRST LADY OF SOUL” ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF HER FORTHCOMING LIVE-ALBUM “LIVE IN LIVERPOOL” RECORDED DURING THE “NEW ADVENTURES” TOUR IN 2019 IN STORES OCTOBER 18, 2024

P.P. Arnold’s career to date has been nothing short of extraordinary: It has seen the singer back Ike & Tina Turner as one of ‘The Ikettes’, record with Mick Jagger, The Small Faces, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Barry Gibb and Primal Scream, and provide her distinctive backing vocals for Billy Ocean, Peter Gabriel, The KLF, Paul Weller and Roger Waters.

2019 was a standout year for the acclaimed soul singer, as London’s “First Lady Of Soul” released “The New Adventures of… P.P. Arnold” - her first studio album of new material since the early 1970’s. The studio album featured stunning contributions from Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Cradock, The Specials and P.P.’s son, Kojo Samuel. Together with a nine-piece band, Arnold embarked on a UK tour to promote the record, culminating in the forthcoming release of her brand-new live album “Live In Liverpool”.

“Live In Liverpool” portrays the exciting grand finale of the highly acclaimed UK tour in support of the 2019 studio album, and was recorded at Grand Central Hall, Liverpool, UK, on October 18th, 2019. It features true P.P. Arnold classics, like ‘The First Cut Is The Deepest’ and ‘Angel Of The Morning’, as well as special live versions of the songs from “The New Adventures of… P.P. Arnold”, such as ‘I Believe’ and ‘Hold On To Your Dreams’, Paul Weller’s ‘Shoot The Dove’, a cover of The Beatles #1 hit ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and Steve Cradock’s ‘Magic Hour’.

“The gig at the Grand Central Hall was as magical as the beautiful architecture of the building”, P.P. Arnold recalls when asked about that special night in Liverpool. “I was over the moon with how well the concert had gone. Steve Cradock had pulled off the dream of performing the album live and it sounding so close to the original recording.”, she adds, “The band was brilliant, the girls sounded like angels, and I felt so good, so pleased that it had all gone so well.”

Even after almost sixty years as a solo artist, P.P. Arnold has no intention of cutting back and we can look forward to seeing her performing live from late summer 2024 onwards. Join P.P. as she travels with her amazing musicians, mesmerising audiences around the country promoting her “Live In Liverpool” album featuring Steve Cradock.

PP ARNOLD RELEASE FIRST MUSICAL FORETASTE OF HER FORTHCOMING LIVE-ALBUM “LIVE IN LIVERPOOL” – IN STORES OCTOBER 18

Get ready for 'Hold On To Your Love'

Following the recent announcement and pre-order start of P.P. Arnold’s forthcoming live album “Live In Liverpool”, today marks the release of a very special first digital single. With today’s release, Arnold offers her fans a first glimpse into the incredible atmosphere of the grand finale of her 2019 UK tour, presenting two tracks from the forthcoming album: her original song “Hold On To Your Dreams” and a cover of The Beatles’ iconic #1 hit “Eleanor Rigby”.

Arnold penned “Hold On To Your Dreams” together with her son, Kojo Samuel, a renowned producer and songwriter in his own right. Originally released on her 2019 studio record “The New Adventures Of… P.P. Arnold”, “Hold On To Your Dreams” features an upbeat house instrumental and an inspiring message of resilience and courage to follow your passions. During the UK tour, Arnold and her nine-piece band presented a groovy live version of the song, which is released today.

Additionally, Arnold also releases a special live version of her cover of The Beatles #1 hit “Eleanor Rigby” – originally part of her 1968 “Kafunta” album. “Steve Cradock brought new life to classics like ‘Eleanor Rigby’ with his outstanding psychedelic blues guitar solo accompanied by Tony Coote playing some very exciting drums.”, P.P. Arnold recalls how it felt to perform this classic during the show at Grand Central Hall, Liverpool.

“Live In Liverpool” will be released on October 18, 2024, as 180g black double vinyl, packed in a high-quality gatefold jacket, as well as CD Digipak edition and on all digital platforms via earMUSIC. The album has all the grooves and striking performances London’s ‘First Lady of Soul’ is known and loved for and is another powerful testament to her versatility and charisma as a vocalist and performer.

Autobiography

Soul Survivor: The Autobiography

P.P. Arnold's story is that of a rich and varied life. From her early musical origins in powerhouse church gospel, the talented singer's career began when she joined the Ike & Tina Turner Revue at the age of just seventeen. But little did the young Ikette know how much her world was about to be turned upside-down...

Upon arriving in London in 1966 to support the Rolling Stones, the shy but vivacious nineteen-year-old caught the eye of frontman Mick Jagger. He would persuade her to stay in the city and record as a solo artist, ultimately leading to a five-decade career working with everyone from Jagger, Rod Stewart, the Small Faces, Eric Clapton and Nick Drake to Barry Gibb, Peter Gabriel, Roger Waters, Paul Weller.
