Rightly, today, it’s considered a stone-cold classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen it followed in the December of the same year, the album, \u003cem\u003eThe Sound of McAlmont \u0026amp; Butler\u003c\/em\u003e, was an immensely satisfying and beguiling mix of classic songwriting, immaculate production, and blending of rock and soul. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album was also singled out by critics as one of the year’s very best. ‘The Guardian’ newspaper awarded it a maximum 5 stars while ’The Times’’s critic commented: “the monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do' provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so hard that perhaps it had to shatter.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this timely reissue, the original album has been newly mastered for enhanced audio quality. As well as the original album on Disc 1, the 2CD includes a second disc of demos and alternate mixes. Mastering from the original studio tapes was overseen by Bernard himself and undertaken by his longtime studio partner, George Shilling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Demon Records","offers":[{"title":"Green \u0026 Blue 2LP","offer_id":51249718100246,"sku":"RMX-66735","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2CD","offer_id":51249718133014,"sku":"RMX-66736","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/a5041c523b434767c603b89de2c968aa.png?v=1777280483","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/mcalmont-butler-the-sound-of-mcalmont-butler","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
