WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
To mark the 60th anniversary of the iconic Immediate Records, 14 Things To Think About—the commanding 1966 debut from British R&B powerhouse Chris Farlowe—is returning in a new reissue, celebrating both the artist’s enduring legacy and the label’s outsized impact.
Launched in 1965 by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham alongside Tony Calder, Immediate Records became a key force in the UK R&B movement, championing creative independence and helping propel names such as Small Faces, P.P. Arnold, and Farlowe into the spotlight.
First released in 1966, 14 Things To Think About is often hailed as a high point of the Beat/Mod R&B and Soul era. The album spotlights Farlowe’s trademark rough-edged tone and expressive phrasing—an unmistakable approach that set him apart in Britain’s crowded R&B scene. Anchored by his hit singles, the record features standouts like “Think,” along with a deeply soulful take on Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.”
Spanning blues-soaked intensity and heart-heavy soul balladry, this reissue preserves the urgency and craft that made Farlowe a cornerstone of the mod and soul worlds. It also captures a moment when British music was reshaping pop culture at home and across the globe. As music historian Ray Tolliday notes, “Listening to these tracks, you will appreciate the artistry of Chris Farlowe,” a reminder of the singer’s singular mark on the genre.
