Dotttie Pearson [1978] - Bring It Over Baby / House Made For Love [Avanti #AV-12011]


For anyone wondering what 'crossover' is, then this is a perfect example, although 'technically' it's a bit late date-wise as this is a previously unreleased track from 1978, but musically it sits right in there.

It was originally on an unreleased Avanti album 'Dottie' which somehow Grapevine records got hold of and released it as a single in 2004 along with another track from the album 'House Made For Love' which has more of a modern soul feel. They also issued the full album on CD in 2003 with additional mixes of 2 tracks.

Bring It Over Baby

Full of crossover 'wonderfulness', this (for me) has got it all .. the vocals, the melody, the rhythm, the musicianship.  Very hard to pick up nowadays, as why would anyone want to sell it?  If you found one you'd be expected to pay around three figures for it.

Bring It Over Baby (DJM Re-edit)

If you can live without it on vinyl there is an extended DJM Re-edit available on BandCamp (21 Apr 2020) (along with a slightly extended version of an album track 'I Don't Want Nobody') or it's available on CD album for £10.
