Madeline Bell - Bells A Poppin. CD. (RPM - RPM281) Originally released in 1967, along with the singles that preceded it. Highlights include the gospelly "Really Got Carried Away", co-written by Bell and Doris Troy; Cissy Houston’s"Don’t Come Running To Me"; the long time Northern Soul dancer favourite "Picture Me Gone" ­ all of which is wrapped up with a detailed story by Bob Stanley.

Madeline Bell - Doin' Things. CD. (RPM - RPM285) A true underground legend, Madeleine Bell may not be a household name (yet) but her position as the pre-eminent session singer for the past forty years means her warm, soulful tones are instantly recognisable. Her beautiful voice has floated across radio, television, film soundtracks, the internet and now is finally available solo on CD. "Doin' Things", her second Phillips LP from 1968, is being re-issued for the first time with two non-album singles from the same period as well as a b-side to a single that prefaced this LP, Go Ahead On, a co-write with Dusty Springfield, who also recorded her own version. Hopefully the well-earned awareness of Madeline Bell's 60's legacy will continue to grow and grow.

Madeline Bell - This Is One Girl. CD. (Sequel - NEMCD457) First issued on Pye in 1976, this solo album from one of the finest British-based sould singers of the 1970s includes a couple of rare groove classics. Sequel's CD also adds a non-album B-side, as a companion release to Blue Mink retrospectives featuring Madeline. Triva fact: 'That's What Friends Are For' was used in The Sweeney movie!
