Vocal Shades And Tones is a miraculous leftfield library classic from the genius mind of celebrated UK composer/singer/vocal arranger Barbara Moore. It's a heavenly groove-based blend of jazz Latin soft-psych folk-funk and gospel soul. Recorded for the legendary Music De Wolfe in 1972 it's an audacious start-to-finish listen as dizzying as it is dazzling. It's a perfect snapshot of a musical era supported by Moore's glorious vocal arrangements. Widely regarded among collectors DJs and lounge/easy-listening acolytes as an absolute essential it is viewed as the holy grail by many production music heads rarely appearing for sale and disappearing in a flash when it does. Indeed originals now go for over £300 and it's easy to see why. Just one of the reasons why this fresh Be With reissue part of a wider De Wolfe reissue campaign is so utterly crucial.
