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’’s 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 limited-edition reissue, the original album has been mastered over 2LPs for enhanced audio quality. 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\u003eInitial 1000 preorders come with a free 12”X12” print signed by Bernard Butler and David McAlmont.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes (Full Version) \u003cbr\u003eWhat's The Excuse This Time?\u003cbr\u003eThe Right Thing \u003cbr\u003eAlthough \u003cbr\u003eDon't Call It Soul \u003cbr\u003eDisappointment \u003cbr\u003eInterval \/ The Debitor \u003cbr\u003eHow About You?\u003cbr\u003eTonight \u003cbr\u003eYou'll Lose A Good Thing \u003cbr\u003eYou Do (Full Length)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"2LP Colour - DEMREC1342X","offer_id":56268534579579,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2CD - EDSL0289","offer_id":56268551913851,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3020\/0134\/files\/unnamed-2026-05-26T135301.135.jpg?v=1779800011","url":"https:\/\/www.mixeduprecords.com\/products\/mcalmont-butler-the-sound-of-mcalmont-butler","provider":"Mixed Up Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
