Lesley Rae Dowling EP - Feat. Jonathan Butler.

So many good mixes to choose from.

As the 2020 Lesley Rae Dowling (LRD) re-mix project moves onto the sixth release, we have decided we want to make the next release an EP; because we liked two very different mixes we and want to release them both.

This time it is the Jonathan Butler production of a somewhat overlooked track from the When the Night Comes album, called Love will be there. The new version is renamed, Love's gonna be there in the End. Lesley wrote this song with her friend, Matt Haus.

This is one of the few LRD recordings with none of her piano playing to be heard on the final release. Although she would have prepared the song with a piano guide, Jonathan simplified the main piano track and added layers of synths.

Terence (Tully) McCullagh has done a major re-work of the song by taking out a lot of the keyboards and adding several guitars along with featuring Jonathan's guitar tracks more prominently in the new mixes. The result is that we have a guitar heavy mix and one mix lighter on guitars but with plenty of effects.

For comparison, track three of the EP is a re-mastered version of Kevin Shirley's mix of the song taken from the initial release from 1986.

The tracks are to be available on the 10th of October, coincidentally both Jonathan and Lesley's birthday!

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s. Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982. The follow-up release, her debut album revealed that she was also a serious songwriter. Her song Spaniard was the second single to garner heavy rotation leading to the first album going gold not long afterwards. Visual for the new release featuring Lesley from the time of her debut releases . Since then Lesley has released about a dozen albums mostly in her home country but she also has releases in Australia and the Benelux. Last month Tully was going through his archive and stumbled on a multi-track tape containing a song she recorded that never made it onto any of Lesley's main album releases and never released digitally, so not available for streaming or download. The track, als...
