Al's World of Friends:
positiveSOUL Productions Announces the Release of “Old School Lovin,' the Debut Album from Al Campos.
Old School Lovin' was recorded in Copenhagen Denmark.
During the final listening of the recorded tracks, it was clear to Al Campos that the album could only be mixed in USA in order to achieve the authentic sound, energy and vibe he was going for. The only question was, who could that be? Who could mix this album and give it that soulful and authentic sound in the mix?
Turn to Memphis, Tennessee. It is here at Willie Mitchell's Royal Recording Studios where Al Campos would find his authentic sound and mixes. Willie Mitchell and his son Boo Mitchell would honor Al Campos by mixing all 11 songs on the album. Willie Mitchell is best known as the producer and songwriter for the great American legend in soul music, Al Green.
Quote: “Al, you may not know what you got, but I do. What you have here is a SMASH HIT record.”
“The torch has been passed to you. I love your music. You've got something for everyone.”
These are the words of Mr. Willie Mitchell, legendary producer and songwriter at Royal Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
