CANDI STATON - I’M JUST A PRISONER

Ace records is delighted to reissue Candi Staton's debut LP, which has been out-of-print on vinyl for decades.

I’m Just A Prisoner was released in 1970 and remains a definitive slice of Southern soul. Recorded at Rick Hall’s legendary FAME studio in Muscle Shoals, I’m Just A Prisoner pulled together five tracks – I’d Rather Be An Old Man’s Sweetheart (Than A Young Man’s Fool), I’m Just A Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin’), Evidence, You Don’t Love Me No More and Sweet Feeling - that had appeared as A and B-sides on early singles issued in 1969 and 1970. These were augmented by another five tracks recorded specifically for the album; Someone You Use, Get It When I Want It, Do Your Duty, That’s How Strong My Love Is and Another Man’s Woman, Another Woman’s Man.
This new edition includes an inner sleeve featuring a new interview with Candi conducted by Ace Records’ Ian Shirley about this magical stage of her career as well as photos from the period.
