is this a custom record made for the northern scene?

i played another of their tracks (same group?) on youtube and it was reggae? different group?

Thats what i was thinking

It's not in the essential soul guide , So it could have appeared on British ?

I think so Bob, the black magic label issued a load of tailor made ( and other dodgy) stuff in the mid 70s to cash in on the Northern scene at its height.

I'm sure Pete Smith will have more detail on this particular one

Pete wrote a very good article on Black Magic and other British reissue labels. It's on here somewhere.

the clue for me (besides it being a UK only thing) was the specific pounding northern beat that definitely would not be used in music of that era (e.g. disco).

i have , "well i told you" ( chantels) on carlton , worth anything ? , love the male vocal on this , reminds me of Ray Charles

The real clue to this record's origins is in the producer's name....
