Sunnysoul Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Played this recently and it absolutely packed the floor !!! Funnily enough sounds so right for today's tastes. On Calla in the US, it's first UK 7" appearance was on Contempo wasn't it ? Was there also PYE Disco Demand 7" UK release ? Their LP was on UK Contempo. Did the girls ever tour the UK ?

Top sound, alway's loved it. Was huge at Cleethorpes along with loads of other funk style dancers. Got most of them from those day's and might even consider selling them all cos they do sound so damn good. Glad it packed the floor for you. Tony. Perth, W.A.

The UK LP is on MOJO, not Comtempo. Yes there was a PYE DD 7 release. Great record BTW. Edited February 24, 2010 by davetay
Dennisoul Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Also came out on their US lp on Calla. Couple of really nice tracks on the lp also. Always liked " I'm so glad" 1

Wrongcrowd Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I've always loved this....but hadn't played it in years, until I dusted my copy off a few weeks back. I have to say it sounded even better than when I first heard it at the local youth club.....gorgeous soul, and a superb production from Joe Tate... They apparantly recorded earlier as The Passionettes on Path....
Guest Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Its alright,bit repetitive though. Edited February 25, 2010 by ken
Prophonics 2029 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I have a French picture cover disc somewhere.
Guest Gogs Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 great record, here is a scan of the demo
Guest Gogs Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Strange, in that mono side white and stereo side orange
Dennisoul Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Strange, in that mono side white and stereo side orange Gogs... the orange label design of the stereo side of your demo has the same label design as the US lp. Nice lookin demo you have there.
Larsc Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) They apparantly recorded earlier as The Passionettes on Path.... The girls denied ever recording as The Passionettes when they were asked during a discussion on soulfuldetroit.com. Apparently they did use the name but only went in the studio as The Fuzz. The group on Path is another outfit. Edited March 2, 2010 by LarsC
Guest dj dek one Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 its the 2 little claps that i like....gorgous record, well done for playing it
Ernie Andrews Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Fabulous pice of girlie soul- Should have been a big hit! I have all 4 copies Uk Issue/demo & US issue /demo and an original US promotional poster for the record. I was considering to frame up!
Keithw Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 have a nice disc with pic cover----on french roulette 30-00 anyone

I don't doubt that maybe what they said, and it wouldn't be the first time that artists have 'forgotten' tracks they've cut or even released. The line up for both groups is the same as confimed from reliable sources... https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/fuzz.htm https://supersoulsisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/fuzz-fuzz-1971-plus.html Soul Harmony Singles - Jeff Beckman, Jim Hunt and Tom Kline

Little is known about the group on Path. Considering these girls only recorded one album I'd be surprised if they forgot any recordings they did.

Little is known about the group on Path. Considering these girls only recorded one album I'd be surprised if they forgot any recordings they did. Passion on mother earth and the Passionettes on Soul Burst are both philly records so are probably the same group as listed in the soul harmony singles book. They list the path group together with that group, but I'm not sure why, I don't think there are common names but I have to look at the path record again to check. The Uni record is probably some other unrelated group or at least is bizarre since it is a Tammy Wynette cover.
Wrongcrowd Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 loada rubbish As always, it's good to have your constructive input Tes...might sound better on 78 for ya....
Guest martyn Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I have a French picture cover disc somewhere. Also on Canadian Roulette , complete with the fade in/fade out at the end . Any idea of value on this ?
Seano Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The Prelude for "I'm so glad" on the album is well worth a listen too.
Guest Soulskate70 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I've always liked his tune, however, one of their other tracks "For All Seasons" is one of my all time favourite tracks.... A bit slow and 70's funk orientated for some of the Northern crowd, but such a good tune. I've never been 100% about their album and found it something of a dissapointment when I first heard it....
