Hats off to Kevin Rowland and his team for the vinyl release of Dexys’ album One Day I’m Going To Soar.
Housed in a gatefold sleeve displaying Chiko Ohayan’s soft-focus photography to best effect, the front cover is courtesy of the peerless Pete Barrett. There is an insert with a portrait of Rowland backed by credits and – a touch I always appreciate – bespoke labels.
Most importantly, the music is delivered by two 12″s which communicate the depth and soulfulness of these 10 tracks in all their glory.
//Back cover, insert, label.//

I’m also very proud to receive a name-check in the credits. He’s a decent skin, Rollo from ‘arrow.
Do yourselves a favour and buy the vinyl version of One Day I’m Going To Soar here.

Hey Paul Gorman, remember me?? – Tony Wong from the Screen offices in London, 1990 to 1992?!… I believe you loaned me a B-Movie or two… or come to think if it, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have let them out of your site! Hope you’re well mate. I’m going to see Dexys in a weeks time and catching up with John Michael McKenzie for a bevy here in Perth, Australia… small world… I’m very much looking forward to reading your book on Dexys – they’re one of my fave bands along with Small Faces, Clash etc so I was blown away to read of your relationship with Mr Rowland and Dexys… fan-bloody-tastic… anyways… very proud (and envious) of your achievements! Cheers, Tony
apologies, “sight” not “site”!
Hi Tony
Good to hear from you. Will send you a mail.
Best
