Imelda May – Life. Love. Flesh. Blood (Vinyl LP 2017) Decca 5728829. Germany. 180g black vinyl.
The Disc: Has been played once only on high-end hi fi and is like mint. On examination, there does seem to be a very slight surface scuff from the cardboard inner sleeve but there is no sign of this when playing. No warping or other problems.
The Inner Sleeve: is also in near mint condition. No labels or writing.
The Outer Sleeve: is in mint condition with an original Made in Germany sticker on the back over the bar-code. The shrink-wrap is still in place after careful slitting down down one edge.
Posting: is in a proper cardboard case with cardboard strengthener. The disc is separated from the sleeve in the parcel and I will enclose a new plastic sleeve for storing. Postage is second class Signed for delivery.
Reviews:
“Imelda May has found a new groove, exploring blues, soul, gospel, folk, rock, acoustic, cinematic drama and explosive balladry. She is setting a new course with a collection of the boldest, most personal and intimately autobiographical songs she has ever written. This is the albums she’s always wanted to make. “I’ve called it Life Love Flesh Blood because that encompasses everything,” says Imelda. “It’s all in there: birth, sex, love, divorce and death. It’s the story of my life.”
After four albums of foot-stomping no holds-barred rockabilly (with the odd torch song), No Turning Back, Love Tattoo, Mayhem and Tribal, Imelda May has delivered a collection of songs that mostly tell of breakup and heartbreak, that rock but ain't rockabilly. Gone too is the distinctive hair-do and in its place we have a dark seductress, all that appears to remain of the former Imelda May is the voice. But what a voice and Life Love Flesh Blood, doesn't let us down, from start to finish it allows Imelda May to demonstrate her range and power to the full, and the single Should Have Been You is an early contender for my track of the year, and for that alone I forgive her change of direction.
This is probably my favorite of Imelda's releases. Vocals are dead on, music is dead on, the mix and production are perfect, and most importantly the emotion is there and comes through. All of the tracks list Imelda as the primary writer with other people involved. In fact the back cover has a "Written By Imelda May" credit on it. Also, for those familiar with the music industry, it should be noted that T Bone Burnett is the producer. Google him if your not familiar with his work. All I can say is that if your already an Imelda fan, open your years and minds and give this album a chance. There is more to the music work than Rock N Roll. If your unfamiliar or new to Imelda, then I don't think you will be disappointed.
