Greylan Williams & The Hustlers

[Soulfulsolutions]

I've got a copy of Greylan Williams & The Hustlers covering the Temps classic "My girl" on the Soul Revue label. I'm not normally keen on covers but this particular version is raw northern, full of horns and gritty vocals, the sort that would probably get you kicked off X-factor (doesn't apply to Wagner of course), certainly not your polished commercial Motown.

I can appreciate why a track like this won't see action at venues but everything about the 45, artist name, male group backing, soulful rendition, great arrangement and small town label, screams obscure and worthy of a place in anyones collection on it's own merits.

I sold my first minty copy for £150 over 5 years ago, took me some time to find another, then like buses 2 came along, both in VG+/++, but typically I've not seen another copy since. Haven't noticed it on any sales listings and I'm certain it doesn't get a mention in any price guide.

Anyone else come accross it, thoughts on it's quality, rarity, origins and current value?

Happy to put up a scan and soundfile if anyone's interested.

Regards, Lee
