From there, every step stayed close to home: Remastered by Clay Jones, lacquers cut at Take Out Vinyl, plated and pressed right in Memphis at Memphis Record Pressing. The first vinyl pressing in 50 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's opening cut, \"Come to Mama,\" even features the same sort of fractured rhythmic undercurrent that had hooked \"I Can't Stand the Rain,\" but Peebles and Mitchell had the good sense not to deliver ten remakes of her hit; instead, Tellin' It merges polished production with tough, sinewy grooves (the strings on \"Stand By Woman\" and \"It Was Jealousy\" add a touch of class, but don't clutter up the funk of Howard Grimes' superb drumming and the punch of the Memphis Horns), and Peebles here reaffirms her status as one of the best female voices in R\u0026amp;B, cutting to the heart and soul of each lyric whether she's looking for a new man (\"Doctor Love Power\") or breaking up someone's previously happy home (\"Stand By Woman\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd while the disco explosion would make soul sets like this obsolete in a few years, Tellin' It features plenty of cuts that can fill the dancefloor without robbing Peebles of her soulful passion and sassy spirit. Fine stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fat Possum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57258096198007,"sku":"FPH11911","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/0956\/1910\/files\/a3569711768_1x1_700.avif?v=1783094631","url":"https:\/\/thejazzvault.com\/products\/ann-peebles-tellin-it-vinyl-lp-pre-order","provider":"The Jazz Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
