We drop a killer UK soul/early street soul reissue LP from 1988, in the form of Rick Clarke's hard to come by 'Time Keeps Moving On' album!

https://freestylerecords.bandcamp.com/album/time-keeps-moving-on

Originally appearing on the Raven label in 1988, Time Keeps Moving On constituted Rick Clarke's first LP following his work in the earlier eighties as part of brit-funk groups Potion and Side On, and solo output including Love with a Stranger (released on The Specials' Ghost Town's producer John Collins' Local Records imprint) and a few singles for RCA. Largely co-written and co-produced with Peter Hinds (Take Three, Atmosfear, Light of the World) and written a guest turn from Master T aka Toyin Agbetu, this is foundational street soul that appeared at a time when the likes of Loose Ends were starting to break through to the US, and Soul II Soul were just emerging.

Freestyle Records has had a bumper year, aptly releasing a total of 23 records in 2023 - from swathes of rare UK boogie, street soul, reggae & lovers rock reissues, through to the sublime spiritual jazz of Menagerie's fourth long player - and we are now winding down until next year, and won't be shipping any new orders until January 2024.

So, as a thank you for joining us on the ride, you can use the discount code TWENTYTWENTYFREESTYLE to take 20% off all orders through our Bandcamp page from now until midnight on NYE.

“There was just so much UK street soul, Brit funk, and boogie records in the ‘80s and ‘90s that had slipped under the radar, so that is really where I wanted to put the focus.”
