More Info

Due to popular demand Acid Jazz present the legendary album ‘Rhythm and Soul’ on CD. 

Largely remembered today as the first group of future Charlatans’ main man Martin Blunt, Makin’ Time emerged as a breath of fresh air from the 1980s mod scene. Younger than the revival bands that had gone before, instead of watered-down punk their music was a glorious mix of power pop and 1960s pop and soul.

Signed to Eddie Piller and Maxine Forrest’s Stiffdistributed Countdown label, the band were seen as a possible contender for pop crossover and given a full-on recording and marketing budget. The album that emerged was the vibrant and exciting ‘Rhythm and Soul’.

The band were fronted by the bob-headed, powerful voice of organ playing Fay Hallam and guitarist and vocalist Mark McGounden, these two, along with Martin Blunt, provided a strong set of self-penned songs. A dynamic band live, ‘Here Is My Number’, ‘Feels Like It’s Love’, ‘Only Time Will Tell’ and the other self-penned numbers were already fan anthems by the time they were recorded.
