Billy Preston Encouraging Words – Gold Vinyl Edition UK Vinyl LP

Description

BILLY PRESTON Encouraging Words (Dark Horse Records 2026 UK/EU limited edition 13-track LP pressed on Gold Vinyl. Originally released in 1970 on Apple Records, Encouraging Words was BillyPreston’s fifth studio album and his second and final release for the label. Co-produced by Preston and George Harrison, it is especially notable for featuring the first released versions of Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” and “All Things Must Pass”, issued ahead of his own recordings for All Things Must Pass. Though it was overlooked commercially at the time, the album has since come to be regarded as one of the strongest non-Beatles releases on Apple and this welcome reissue brings renewed attention to a record that bridges gospel, soul, rock and keyboard-led pop with ease. Alongside Preston originals, the set includes “I’ve Got A Feeling”, “Sing One For the Lord” and the title track, all delivered with the fluid musicianship and warm vocal phrasing that made him such a distinctive presence across the Apple years. Picture sleeve with hype sticker. Recommended)
