Info Bernard Purdie is one of the most well known drummers of all time, and probably the most recorded in history. From his early days as a session player, Purdie rose to become Ar etha Franklin’s musical director, did over-dubs for The Beatles, and recorded with the likes of Steely Dan, Cat Stevens, Hall & Oats, Quincy Jones, Roberta Flack, and James Brown, to name a few. His 1967 solo debut Soul Drums was critically acclaimed upon its initial release, and was later rediscovered by DJs and hip-hop producers, when it became one of the most sought-after drum LPs. Soul Drums is now available on CD, along with eight bonus tracks comprising Purdie's long-lost follow-up Alexander’s Ragtime Band, which was never given a proper release. This re-issue also includes liner notes taken from a recent interview, plus rare photos from the 1960s. Tracklist 1. Soul Drums 2. Bee 'N' Bee 3. Caravan 4. Soul Bossa Nova 5. Jimmy’s Back 6.
