JOE TORQUAY Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Tony Middelton, Chuito & The Latin Uniques Spanish Maiden Blaring horns, bongos step aside for a deep bass rhythm that sets the mood for this outrageously good Latin dancer. What a wise choice of vocalist, the growling drag on certain notes of Mr. Middleton’s vocal adds that essential blend into the mix to make this recording extra-special. Then a second blaring horn break, carefully stroked bongos again step aside for a deep bass rhythm, irresistible! A dance-floor filler for decades now and still sounding as fresh, new and welcome as it always has been…. greatest never fades..even with time.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 413.00 Unknown Artist The Long Twine As far as we are aware you are viewing a unique GOLDEN WORLD unissued acetate! The coolness of the label is only surpassed by the solid slab of Northern Soul hidden in the grooves. The dance-inspiring bass intro is ramped up by bongos, congas and incessant vocal-group backing up an enthusiastic lead-vocal. Crafting a compelling production blending Detroit Soul, doo-wop and a pinch of Latin to great effect. To underline the importance of this disc - if it played Country & Western I’d be proud to frame it to hang in the house - so iconic is the GOLDEN WORLD label so rare is a fully addressed & labelled acetate. It’s proper-Northern Soul…so act accordingly, on what could be your one and only opportunity to do so.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 811.00 Belita Woods That's When I'll Stop Loving You A sultry saunter into delicious Detroit Soul. Long before the mighty Belita was enjoying world recognition as lead singer of Brainstorm and later as a valued member of George Clinton’s hand-picked members of P-Funk Touring group, she was carving out a reputation as the teenager to watch. As a 16 year old under the trusted guidance of the likes Ollie McLaughlin, Mike Terry, Richard Popcorn Wylie, Tony Hester etc. she belied her tender years to deliver her soulful vocal with the ease of a veteran. Her signature precocious vocal-purr, enhanced by the gentle cracking on the high notes, always drips with emotion. Belita is not world renowned outside of “Soul Circles” but it surely should be. Listen to an Angel at work, on a Mike Terry arrangement that crafts one of the most poignant Northern Soul mid-tempo experiences you’ll ever be lucky enough to hear. Truly, truly beautiful tune… Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 260.00 Andy Fisher & The Encores My Heart's Beating Stronger C/w A Wee Bit Longer Shall we let the stunning unblemished label, the perfect vinyl and the double delight of Los Angeles Northern Soul you’re about to reveal on the soundfile, do all the talking for this NS Trophy piece. You don’t want to hear me, you want to hear the silky vocal of Andy Fisher and the rich skilled Cliff Goldsmith production. Mid-tempo Northern Soul doesn’t get much better than this, the condition certainly could not be finer. So expect a little competition… Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 713.00
JOE TORQUAY Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Johnnie Taylor Ain't That Lovin' You (for More Reasons Than One) Our database reveals this is by far and away the rarest UK Blue Stax single. “The Philosopher of Soul” strolls his way through this most sorrowful testament of his love. All the guys are there on this session, Booker T. Jones wailing hammond, a mountain of Memphis Horns, Duck Duck guitar, funeral paced plodding piano drones away…all adding up to a mood-changing Memphis session of pure quality. Genius lyricist Homer Banks writes;“From The Depths Of My Heart I Love You Darling - For More Reasons Than One” Capturing the very essence of the City in that period, inexplicably receiving poor sales in the UK as Stax’s more upbeat dance titles stole the show and if you wanted a ballad..Otis was your man. In recent times though You tube, Facebook sites like BEAT BALLAD HEAVEN and Jamaican cover versions have highlighted the quality of this staggeringly good tune; And believe me as the 1967 “DARK BLUE” British press this is one deceiving hard disc to find.
