Sleeve Notes

Florida based recording artist Vince Broomfield first came to prominence through his 1987 release “Do You Really Want Me” which he recorded for the independent Mote label under the pseudonym of “Audio”. “Do You Really Want Me” went on to become a popular anthem with modern soul and rare groove aficionados alike. On the strength of the Mote 45 the acclaimed “Romantic” album was released in 1991 on John Anderson’s UK based Rare Groove Label. The album contained an extended version of “Do You Really Want Me” plus several other tracks that gained extensive club and radio play at the time.

A further limited edition 45 “Berries On The Vine” was released in 1994.

Vince is a multi-talented musician who also lists keyboards, piano and Saxophone amongst his performing repertoire. He continues to perform to this day as part of his sisters Dee Dee Wilde Band, alongside brothers Al, Benn and Eugene Broomfield. The entire Broomfield family have also been heavily involved with the recent Cool Millions project “Back For More” which features as a solo outing by Vince entitled “Sprinkle” a song he also co-wrote.

In 2009, Soul Junction records released a 45 single on Audio featuring two previously unissued tracks “Kisses Don’t Lie/I Can’t Take It” (SJ503).

A follow up album to the 45 release was always in the offing so finally for your delectation we would like to present you with “New Beginnings” the exciting new album release from Vince Broomfield.

The album contains eight previously unissued tracks, which Vince cut during the period of 1989 to 1995. All the tracks are written and performed by Vince with the exception of “All My Love” which features additional vocals by Rick Washington.

Vince would also like to give credit to his brother Ben for the additional guitar work on “She’s Gone”.
