Betty Boo - Say It Isn't So

[Guest Matt Male]

Massively underrated gorgeous piece of soul. I know it's available on Grapevine, but was it never issued originally? If so what on and how much these days?

GRP 125 BETTY BOO: "Say It Isn't So"

No, it's not the young lady who was 'Doing The Do' a while back, but a Detroit teenager who cut demos for Popcorn Wylie in 1966-67. No releases followed, but "Say It Isnt so" turned up on acetate in mid-1977, becoming one of the year's biggest (and best) sounds. Several other unreleased items surfaced then, including new vocals to popular Northern standards like Tommy Neal's 'Goin' To A Happening" and Stanley Mitchell's "Get It Baby", along with recordings from Wylie himself. Boo's real name was Betty Bryant, a member of the Adorables who cut a super Northern disc for Golden World, "Ooh Boy", with Pat and Diane Lewis and Betty's sister Jackie
