The very first (and long overdue) career-spanning retrospective from Soul music legend P.P. Arnold

• A 57 song 3CD set, or 25 song 2LP set featuring singles, album tracks, demos, and previously unreleased songs
• A stylishly packaged collection with new sleeve notes by author Jude Rogers
• A companion piece to P.P. Arnold’s critically acclaimed autobiography Soul Survivor

The term “well-established” might be appropriate for some artists but it barely begins to cover the career of the phenomenal P.P. Arnold, whose records and performances are now in their seventh decade. Her consistently excellent music covers multiple genres, her high-profile admirers and collaborators are plentiful, and yet ‘Soul Survivor – A Life In Song’ is the first collection dedicated  to this extraordinary body of work.

Compiled by the artist, ‘Soul Survivor – A Life In Song’ is being released on a 57 song 3CD set, and 25 song 2LP set, both formats housed in an eye-catching sleeve created by photographer (and close friend) Gered Mankowitz, with extensive new sleeve notes by author Jude Rogers. Alongside key singles and album tracks it includes previously unreleased recordings, demo versions, live performances, and some rare mixes that are being reissued for the very first time.

From her early days at Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate label (where she “became one of us”, according to Andrew) her allies, associates, and working partners have included the Small Faces, Cat Stevens, Mick Jagger, Barry Gibb, Eric Clapton, Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Blockheads’ Chaz Jankel, Roger Waters, Ocean Colour Scene, The Blow Monkeys’ Dr. Robert, and Paul Weller.

In 2022 P.P. Arnold told her extraordinary life story in her critically acclaimed autobiography Soul Survivor (Mojo magazine called it “a jaw-dropping memoir”); now that book has the soundtrack that it deserves.
