14 Things To Think About

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the legendary Immediate Records, 14 Things To Think About — the powerful 1966 debut by British R&B icon Chris Farlowe — is being reissued, honouring both his legacy and the label’s lasting influence.
Founded in 1965 by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham and Tony Calder, Immediate Records helped shape the UK’s R&B scene, giving artists creative freedom and launching stars like Small Faces, P.P. Arnold, and Farlowe himself.
Originally released in 1966, 14 Things To Think About is widely regarded as one of the finest Beat, Mod, R&B, and Soul albums of the era. It showcases Farlowe’s distinctive husky voice and unique phrasing — a style that stood out in the competitive British R&B scene. The LP was driven by his hit singles, including his chart-topping rendition of “Out of Time”, and features standout tracks like “Think” and a soulful reimagining of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.”
From bluesy grit to soul-drenched ballads, this reissue captures the raw emotion and musical craftsmanship that made Farlowe a pillar of the mod and soul scenes. It also serves as a time capsule from an era when British music was transforming pop culture both at home and abroad.
“Listening to these tracks, you will appreciate the artistry of Chris Farlowe,” says music historian Ray Tolliday, underscoring the singer’s unmatched contribution to the genre.
