The Sound Of… McAlmont & Butler by Mcalmont and Butler
The Sound Of… McAlmont & Butler is an album by Mcalmont and Butler, released in 1995. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Yes”, on 3 lists with a best position of #8.
The Sound Of... McAlmont & Butler, the English rock-and-soul duo's 1995 debut, came out on Hut Records after the pair had already split, which makes it more of a compilation than a proper album. Recorded across 1994 and 1995 and produced by Bernard Butler, it gathers both singles, "Yes" and "You Do", their B-sides and one previously unreleased track, "The Right Thing".
Don't let the patchwork origins fool you. "Yes" is a monster: Butler's production swells like a wall-of-sound tribute to vintage soul while the vocal soars into the stratosphere. The whole record plays like a glorious might-have-been. A deluxe edition followed on 2 October 2015, adding a DVD and a whole extra disc of previously unheard songs.
