BILLY PRESTON That’s The Way God Planned It (Dark Horse Records 2026 UK/EU limited edition 12-track LP pressed on Purple Vinyl. Originally released by Apple Records in 1969, That’s The Way God Planned It captures Billy Preston at a pivotal point in his career, arriving shortly after his work with The Beatles and pairing his gospel-rooted style with a broader rock and soul palette. Produced by George Harrison, the album balances devotional intensity, melodic warmth and a looser, band-driven feel, with the title track becoming a UK chart hit. Alongside Preston’s own songwriting, the record features contributions from Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Doris Troy, giving it a notably rich supporting cast. Picture sleeve with hype sticker. Recommended)
