It's That Time Again - Two News HR 45 Releases magazine cover

HR 1538 - SOUL MEDITATIONS – Someone To Hold Me / The Bird

Collectors of the Ovide label from Houston Texas will know this to be ridiculously rare and one of the best 45s on the label. Cut in 1967 with Skipper Lee Frazier producing, it’s the kind of tough-to-find and semi-unknown we like to bring back to life on the label. Wonderful male vocal group midpacer of the kind that’s really popular with the chill-out sessions at the moment and sure to be popular with our Chicano California collectors circle.

HR 1539 GEORGE SCOTT : I’m A Fool For You + Let The Past Be The Past / Why Is It Taking So Long

His cult-collectable Johnny Brantley New Jersey produced 1971 Maple LP was reissued in 2015 but there has never been a 45 of any of the tracks – so this bonus 3 track 45/EP is fully OVO compliant.

Two wonderful ballads on the A side including one with 3 million youtube plays – these both will get big plays in the US and on the midtempo chill-out room dancefloors of the UK; the flip here is the lesser known version of the Crossover dancer also cut by Johnny Brantley on Nate Adams and Tony Baxter and is a pretty good number in it’s own right..
