The Dells (the Governors)

[Guest soultempo]

THE DELLS ... surely one of our most loved, treasured & consistent Groups that have spanned the decades & satisfied all tastes. The legacy that they will leave & their contribution to our beloved scene has been absolutely priceless !!!

I'm sure this will be a popular thread, because just about everybody has a cherished Dells gem, in the box !!!

Again, an absolutely endless choice of possibilities, so here goes ... !

I'll start with two current monsters, popular for some time now, down South:

1) THE DELLS - NO WAY BACK LP (Mercury 1976 SRM-1-1084) track LIFE IS THE TIME

(Thank you to Rob from Hayley Records for playing the LP down the phone to me)

2) THE DELLS - LOVE CONNECTION LP (Mercury 1977 SRM-1-3711) track DON'T TRICK ME, TREAT ME

Soul Bro' Records cannot sell enough copies of these LPs at the mo'. They are flying out !!!

regards, Shaun.

Just a few that still hit the spot, all tempos, all eras of their wonderful career .....

I remember getting a lot of The Dells cadet singles in "soul packs" way back in the seventies.

They were always taken from the LP "like it is, like it was" (which I've never seen anywhere!).
