 The LP Paint It Farlowe (Z12 52010) by Chris Farlowe was a 1968 US-only release on Immediate Records. It's essentially a compilation that gathered some of Chris Farlowe's most notable tracks, including his biggest hit, for the American market.

Here's a brief summary:

• Compilation of Immediate Records Tracks: This album served to introduce or consolidate Chris Farlowe's material for the American audience. It features songs primarily from his earlier Immediate Records albums and singles.

• Soulful British Rock/R&B: Chris Farlowe is known for his powerful, bluesy, and soulful vocals, often dubbed "blue-eyed soul." The album showcases his blend of rhythm and blues, rock, and pop, heavily influenced by American soul music but delivered with a distinct British edge.

• Includes "Out of Time": The album's centerpiece and Farlowe's most famous song is his cover of The Rolling Stones' "Out of Time," which became a number one hit in the UK in 1966. This track was famously produced by Mick Jagger.

• Other Key Covers and Originals: The LP also features his interpretation of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black," as well as soul classics like "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" and "Reach Out (I'll Be There)." There are also original compositions, sometimes co-written by Andrew Loog Oldham (Immediate Records founder and original Rolling Stones manager) or Mick Jagger.

• Production by Mick Jagger and Andrew Loog Oldham: The presence of these two figures highlights the strong connection between Farlowe and The Rolling Stones' circle, with Jagger even contributing backing vocals to some tracks.

• Late Era Immediate Release: Paint It Farlowe came out late in Immediate Records' history, as the label was seeking to leverage its artists by packaging their existing material for different markets.

In essence, Paint It Farlowe is a significant compilation LP that encapsulates Chris Farlowe's powerful blue-eyed soul and rock sound, centered around his signature hit "Out of Time," and serves as a testament to his talents within the vibrant British music scene of the late 1960s.
