‘This is Eleanore Mills’ was her debut and only album, recorded for the Sylvia Robinson’s All Platinum subsidiary Astroscope in 1974. The album was produced by Harry Ray and Al Goodman of the Moments and Tommy Keith of The Rimshots. It includes some great Crossover and Modern Soul cuts; including the in-demand string laden early Soul/Disco ‘Same Routine’ a popular killer cut and ‘I’m Gonna Get You’ another superb up tempo Soul cut. ‘Fascinating Devastating Man’ is a lovely mid tempo track. The album includes some beautiful Soul ballads ‘He Said Goodbye’, ‘How Can I Love You’ and the heavily sampled ‘Telegram’ which she rips up, plus ‘Teach Me’ an amazing near seven minute opus which picks up a heavier groove half way through. This special edition includes two non album tracks recorded around the same time, ‘Something on your mind’ and ‘Singing the Blues’ on the CD and as a bonus 45 with the LP. Classic mid 70’s Orchestrated Soul.

Thanks Laurence and everybody delivered early in these trying times
Deffo fills a gap in my collection stunning soul gave it 4 stars only because it would have been up there with Sandra Wright (wounded women) and that’s a tough one to beat
But this is quality soul and should be in everbody’s collection no bad tracks from start to finish
