Mint Mint Mint...2 Unissued Monster 60s NORTHERN Sounds, A Sensational Version Of Johnny Hamptons NORTHERN Classic Plus Unissued Cut Of Sammys Northern Fave.

MINT...2 Epic UNISSUED 60s Beat Ballad Dancers....Arthur Alexander’s mid-60s releases for Monument and Sound Stage 7 under the supervision of Fred Foster in Nashville failed to register on the charts but are highly regarded, none more so than these sides cut on his first session for the company. The released tracks from the session, ‘Baby For You’ and ‘The Other Woman’, were more country sounding. These two wonderful soul songs remained in the vaults until an Ace CD in 2001 and have picked up admirers ever since.

MINT...new reissue....Monster 60s NORTHERN RnB Dancer A Very Popular Oldie At ALL Venue's Plus The Classy Crossover Group Soul Atmospheric Flip So Popular With Radio Buffs Across The World

Mint .....These two tracks have been around since their first releases on Kent LPs in the late 80s. Taken from the Scepter/Wand tapes, the artists had one release each on those labels. Maurice Williams’ ‘Look My Way’ was recorded at the same session as the two songs issued on his Zodiacs-billed Scepter 45, although it outperforms them both. It was assumed that ‘Not Now But Later’ by Walter Johnson was also an unreleased number, but a few years later I discovered a Wand DJ copy in the home of the producer Billy Jackson when the singer’s true identity was found to be Walter Wilson. However, Billy told me that was an alias for Tommy Keith who wrote and recorded some excellent soul music. It is a beautiful self-penned ballad in the Ashford/Simpson mould.

MINT...Previously UNISSUED Except The Anniversary Issue, Top 60s Northern Dancer Very Popular In The Clubs Now Plus A TRULY EPIC Beat Ballad From The MASTER Balladeer... These two contrasting unissued late 60s soul sides were first made available on Ace CDs. Gigi & the Charmaines’ ‘I Don’t Wanna Lose Him’ was written by Dale Warren and Gigi’s husband Herman Griffin. Herman was responsible for many Detroit soul classics and Dale Warren made his name arranging and writing at Shrine Records. A stomping yet subtle dance number that captures the energy of 1966, its only vinyl presence was on the 100 Club Anniversary 45 of 2006, now a much-coveted item. Walter Jackson’s ‘Forget The Girl’ is taken at a more sedate pace, but is no less dynamic, with a full Chicago orchestra backing Walter’s luxuriant vocal on a Clint Ballard ballad, another stunning recording.

CD CD CD....Cheapest ANYWHERE NEW TODAY 24th February 2021...24 Totally Stunning NORTHERN Etc Dancers Many UNISSUED Including The Legendary MELVIN HICKS "intruder" Plus Floor Filler Carolyn Crawford "ready or not"...This latest episode of the high-quality end of the Northern Soul world is as varied as the scene has become, featuring manic funk, Detroit grooves, doo wop-inspired ballads, neo-Motown and pure soul stompers. Los Angeles features strongly throughout. As a taster of the pleasures to come over the next couple of years, the opening tracks by ex-Motowners Carolyn Crawford and Kim Weston, along with the Joe Buckner & Major IV number, are from Mickey Stevenson’s late 60s Los Angeles operation; and the Lovers’ acetate-only ‘She’s Supreme’ and John Wesley & the Four Tees’ stomping version of the Williams & Watson LP track ‘Love Is Such A Funny Thing’ were recorded under the aegis of the city’s great arranger Arthur Wright. Researching the tape vaults during lockdown has proved fruitful. The first version of Claude Huey’s ‘Why Would You Blow It’ by the unknown Isaiah Smith was discovered among the Galaxy tapes, as was the Brothers Of Soul’s ‘I Need Your Love’ – any previously unheard track by this redoubtable outfit is big soul news. I had originally thought that Buck Ram’s group Two Cats & A Mouse would be 50s sounding, like most of his acts, but ‘Love In My Heart’ proved to be a classy cover of the Oracles’ 1967 rarity on OM. From Milwaukee, the Badger State, we have two little-known 1963 recordings from the Cuca label. ‘You Don’t Care’ by the Esquires (aka Betty Moorer’s brothers’ group the Ambassadors) first appeared on “Badger A-Go-Go”, a compilation album issued on Cuca’s Night Owl subsidiary in 1968, while Harvey (Scales) & Seven Sounds’ beat ballad ‘It’s Midnight’ was finally made available as a download-only in 2020. Jack Ashford’s influence is also strong. ‘Crazy Things’ by the unknown Joe Douglas, one of Jack’s earliest productions, was cut in Philly with a Motor City backing track. Jack’s Pied Piper set-up produced the Hesitations’ ‘Soul Kind Of Love’, the second 45 from their superlative “Soul Superman” LP, and his later work with Detroiters Lorraine Chandler and George Rountree is represented by Philly singer Ray Gant’s update of Eddie Parker’s ‘I Need A True Love’, and the Family Brick’s vocal group version of ‘I’ll Fly To Your Open Arms’, which Jack sang on his “Hotel Sheets” LP. Other soul legends include Major Lance with ‘Girl, Come On Home’ (the original flip of ‘Since I Lost My Baby’s Love’) and the Exits’ ‘Under The Street Lamp’, which epitomised the aspirations of black street corner vocal groups. Joe Hicks’ ‘Don’t It Make You Feel Funky’ is adrenalin-driven soul, adored by the Northern Soul crowd. Rocky Gil’s ‘It’s Not The End’ and Little Nicky Soul’s ‘You Said’ are both mega-money items, but the rarest and most-desired track has to be ‘The Intruder’ by Melvin Hicks & the Versatiles, which was thought to exist only on acetate but is actually a missing number on a collectible soul label – all will be revealed. 01 Preview Ready Or Not Here Comes Love - Carolyn Crawford 02 Preview It Takes A Lotta Teardrops - Kim Weston 03 Preview The Intruder - Melvin Hicks & The Versatiles 04 Preview She's Supreme - The Lovers 05 Preview Why Would You Blow It - Isaiah Smith 06 Preview It's Not The End - Rocky Gil & The Bishops 07 Preview It's Midnight - Harvey Scales & The Seven Sounds 08 Preview You Said - Little Nicky Soul 09 Preview You Don't Care - The Esquires 10 Preview I Need Your Love - Brothers Of Soul 11 Preview I Wish I Knew - Joe Buckner & Major IV 12 Preview I'll Fly To Your Open Arms - The Family Brick 13 Preview I Need A True Love - Ray Gant & The Arabian Knights 14 Preview Don't It Make You Feel Funky - Joe Hicks 15 Preview Love Is Such A Funny Thing - John Wesley & The Four Tees 16 Preview Soul Kind Of Love - The Hesitations 17 Preview Crazy Things - Joe Douglas 18 Preview Love In My Heart - Cats 'n' Mouse 19 Preview Farewell Goodbye My Love (Edit) - The Performers 20 Preview Girl, Come On Home - Major Lance 21 Preview I've Got To Come In - Jean Battle 22 Preview So Glad - The Lyrics 23 Preview The Right To Cry - The Perfections 24 Preview Under The Street Lamp - The Exits
