With its instant-classic sound, augmented by soaring ’60s strings, it sounded epic and most definitely unlike anything else at the time. Rightly, today it’s considered a stone-cold classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it followed in the December of the same year, the album ‘The Sound Of’ was an immensely satisfying and beguiling mix of classic songwriting, immaculate production, and blending of rock and soul. The album was also singled out by critics as one of the year’s very best. ‘The Guardian’ newspaper awarded it a maximum 5 stars while ’The Times’ critic commented: “the monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do' provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so hard that perhaps it had to shatter.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this timely reissue the original album has been newly mastered for enhanced audio quality. As well as the original album on Disc 1, there’s a second disc of demos and alternate mixes. Mastering from the original studio tapes was overseen by Bernard himself and undertaken by his longtime studio partner George Shilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003eYes (Full Version)\u003cbr\u003eWhat’s The Excuse This Time?\u003cbr\u003eThe Right Thing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003cbr\u003eAlthough\u003cbr\u003eDon’t Call It Soul\u003cbr\u003eDisappointment \/ Interval\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide C\u003cbr\u003eThe Debitor\u003cbr\u003eHow About You?\u003cbr\u003eTonight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide D\u003cbr\u003eYou’ll Lose A Good Thing\u003cbr\u003eYou Do (Full Length)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e  McAlmont \u0026amp; Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Demon Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e  New \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e Rock \u0026amp; Pop Re-Issues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Vinyl LP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCat Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e  DEMREC1342X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e 18th September 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Blue \u0026 Green Vinyl 2LP w\/ SIGNED Print","offer_id":57473614119294,"sku":"DEMREC1342X","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2CD","offer_id":57473614152062,"sku":"EDSL0289","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1700\/1349\/files\/McAlmontButlerLP-X-Packshot.jpg?v=1779893493","url":"https:\/\/www.sliderecordshop.com\/products\/mcalmont-butler-the-sound-of-mcalmont-butler-2026-re-issue-signed","provider":"Slide Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
