I was just going through the old collection sorting out my set for tomorrows Leeds Central, and I pulled out the boot copy of 'Maurice Chestnut - Too darn soulful', I have looked at the flip numerous times ''You don't love me anymore', never playing it thinking it was a cover of the Johnny Caswell track. But it's not, it's an excellent mid tempo groover, really shocked when I played it, never heard it before.
Has anyone else heard it? was it on the flip of the original copies?

    I would guess that anyone that has had a copy would have flipped it, 'cos Morris Chestnut has never cut a bad record. Though I've never heard it played out anywhere other than the odd rare soul night

thought it might just be a spurious version of the Johnny Caswell tune, so never bothered.

Couldn't agree more - and if you thought you had another version of YDLMA......? Into soul for 45 years and never flipped it? What other treats are in store for you?

 

ps I had to borrow the money from my big brother (he just happened to be in Selecta at the same time) to buy my Renfro copy of Morris Chestnut......still burns!

I know, and to be truthful I am usually a stickler for 'B' sides too, there are many hidden treasures lying on flips. Can't imagine why I didn't flip it years age, I've had if for yonks, as i said, must have just been the title that put me off doing it, I have had other re-presses that have had spurious versions of other tracks on the flip and renamed as the artist on the 'A' side, and I think that must have swayed me.

But hey! a nice surprise, albeit quite a quiet press, still a stunner.
