CROSSOVER
PERFECTION!!!!!!
I'm at the breaking point
Absolutely fantastic Crossover/Northern Soul dancer from
1969. Found in the Fame vaults in April 2010 this
has got to be one of THE most significant
discoveries for decades! If you buy only one 45 in
2011 make it this one! |

Another unreleased cut and this time it's a 'more than
acceptable' version of the Bettye Swann classic! neat finger
snapper AND those brilliant vocals! |

Another woman
involved
This is a
brilliant unreleased 70's dancer that is starting to
pick up spins in the 70's and Crossover venues and
is
also finding favour on the Northern Soul dance floors
too? MORE than recommended! |

Another unreleased goodie that may get over shadowed by the
brilliance of the top side? Don't dismiss it though as it's
a neat 70's dancer with the brilliant vocals of Ms Ingram
dominating proceedings! |

We're gonna make it through
Wow! In the same mould as Joseph Webster or Lil
Major Williams! An unreleased uptempo 70's dancer
with a soulful funky vibe to it! This will be VERY
popular on 70's/Crossover AND Northern Soul dance
floors! |

Make it or break it
Another unreleased 70's track and it's a
pretty decent funk dancer with plenty of brass and a wicked
bassline. There's also a great sax break later on too! |

Superb unreleased mid-tempo 70's dancer with great vocals, plonking
piano and a catchy hook line that will get more popular now the 45
is on the streets! |

One more hurt
Played at all the best
clubs over the last year or so, the brilliant unreleased
Northern Soul/Crossover dancer from Candi Staton. Made in
1970 at Fame Studios this really is a brilliant find by
Kent/Ace Records and certainly on a par with the Spencer
Wiggins 45! |

Do Right Woman
Another unreleased track from Fame and
this is more of a typical Fame sound of the time. Dirty,
Slinky Southern Soul with an edge of Funk with the ever
brilliant vocals of one of Soul Music's heroines and some
mean horns too! VERY nice! |

Power of love
Another quality release from Shotgun! This is a previously
unreleased 60's track
that was only ever available briefly in the late
80's on a Japanese LP. Have a listen as this is a
quality piece of mid tempo Northern Soul! |

I feel your love changing
This is the ORIGINAL
version of the 70's Soul dancer 'Changin' made famous by
Esther Philips AND Sharon Ridley. A male version by
the songs co-writer, the legendary Jesse James and it's an unreleased
track from his second
stay at 20th Century Records in the mid 70's. Very tasty! |

It's time for
change
This is the original take of
the track that was on his 2009 CD. The only difference is
that the 'Obama speech' is not in this take and it sounds
much the better for it too! |

Where is the love
First time ever on a 45 for this mid 90's
soulful groover that sounds 'So' 70's. A great original
track written, produced and performed by the ever excellent
Snowboy!

Love enough to care
Fabulous new
release from Levi Stubbs & the boys! Recorded in the late 70's
whilst they were at Casablanca Records but laid unreleased
until it got a belated CD/LP release about 10 years ago. Now
making it's debut on 45 here we have a super little dancer
will a great hook line and stomping beat that will surely
get spins on the Northern Soul Scene? Has already had a few spins in the Modern Soul rooms
over the last few years but can only go from strength to
strength now it's appeared on 45! |
