INFO


First time release on vinyl of the breathtaking songs Patty Waters recorded with engineer Steve Atkins in 1 970 at the Coast Recordings studio, together with the unreleased single 'My One And Only Love' and a recorded live session at Lone Mountain College in 1974.

The album 'You Loved Me' is the missing link between her two groundbreak ing pioneering and highly acclaimed ESP-Disk records from the end of the 60's an d her post 90's releases. The missing link between the radical ingenue of the 19 60s and her late 90's songs wherein she expressed the resolution of all of her l ife's moments through mature readings of traditional songs and jazz standards. T his collection aims to provide that missing link and to finally complete the pic ture of her storied recording career.

In what would have been her thi rd LP, the 'You Loved Me' album serves as the inverse of Patty's debut. While he r debut "Sings" concerned itself with themes of heartbreak, loneliness and yearn ing, there's an abundance of love, joy and togetherness on "You Loved Me".

Or in Patty's own words:

"I was a young girl alone at age 19, I was longing for love and dreaming of how wonderful love could be"

On 'You Loved Me' Patty Waters velvet voice captures this longing for love, straig ht from her soul to your heart. Crossing the border of the avant garde jazz ente ring a strange zone, somewhere between spiritual jazz, early folk vibes on the s ongs on the A-sides while the 14 minute composition 'Touched By Rodin In A Paris Museum' on the B-side is (dixit David Stubbs for Uncut in 2004) a brilliant ext ended showcase for the uneasy Cageian minimalism of her piano playing.

'You Loved Me' proves also again why Albert Ayler introduced her to ESP-Disk p resident Bernard Stollman, impressed Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders and Henry Grim es with her concerts and can count Patti Smith and Yoko Ono (to name a few) amon gst her fans.
