Comin' Atcha is a studio album by Madeline Bell, released by RCA Records on 22 December 1973.
Overview
The album was produced, arranged and recorded with John Paul Jones at his home studio, Dormouse Studios.[1] It was Madeline Bell's first solo album in five years after performing for musical theatre, television shows, studio backing sessions, film themes, and pop group Blue Mink (1969-1973). In 1973, she also contributed to the soundtrack of the romance film A Touch of Class. The project was also a major departure in musical direction for John Paul Jones, playing a mixture of funk, soul, jazz, and r&b for the recording, during the year long absence from touring Led Zeppelin undertook in late 1973 and throughout 1974. John Paul Jones had previously sessioned for Madeline Bell in 1968, before joining Led Zeppelin.
Both Bell and Jones, with a backing band, performed selected tracks from the album on BBC2's television programme Colour My Soul, on 6 December 1973.[2]
