JIMMY CAMPBELL’S ALBUMS ISSUED ON CD VIA ESOTERIC

Tuesday, 10 February 2009 By

Released 23rd February 2009. Originally released in 1969, Son of Anastasia was the debut album by one of Liverpool’s finest musicians, Jimmy Campbell. Previously a member of The Kirkby s and 23rd Turnoff (who recorded Campbell’s Michaelangelo as a single for Deram Records), Campbell s solo career began ith this album (produced by John Cameron who had earlier worked with Donovan) which featured material both of aching beauty and melancholia such as the excellent On a Monday and his reworking of Michaelangelo.As with the music of Bill Fay (another songwriter whose work enjoyed a re-evaluation in recent times), Campbell’s work is ripe for rediscovery. Recently hailed by Mojo magazine as a buried treasure, this re-mastered CD release of Son of Anastasia is long overdue as tribute to the work of Jimmy Campbell who sadly passed away in 2007.
