Heem The Music Monsters
Wake Up People C/w Piece Of The Rock
Seldom seen, highly sought rebellious Philadelphia Street-FUNK.
A floor-destroying D.I.Y. production, this tiny indie label gives up a deceptive intro - as the slow rap and yawn, suddenly explodes into a manic dance production with whirling keyboard work, thumping along at frantic pace - defiant lead vocal is supported by a vocal chorus and an incessant guitar, some inventive mid-70s “special effects” all add the boiling over atmosphere.
Flip over, and the group see no need to change course from this urban statement of discontent, the pace drops a notch but the horns and vocal presence ratchets up, yet again for another potent but manageable floor-shaker,
Two killer sides both dead-right for today’s brand of Northern Soul funk that seems to be reaching pandemic proportions.
RARE in the extreme!

Girl I Need You C/w I'm Glad I Met You
Here is living proof, there is no need for any DJ to play borderline/inferior Northern Soul recordings when tunes like this lay dormant!
This 1967 Chicago coupling, offers two killer sides written by lead vocalist Tommy Green (aided by Othie Wright,& Danny Reed) TG glides through both recordings with consummate ease, driven by an inspiring Sonny Sanders arrangement, jelled together by the genius of Carl Davis, all directed by Gerald Sims.
Some gathering in the studio that was! So it’s unsurprising this 45 offers two very special sides indeed, so neglected I immediately added a USA Brunswick copy to my DJ box..
But before you today is no Brunswick release, before you is the ultimate way to own this double-delight - a neat and tidy - seriously elusive 1967 UK Coral DEMO!
Sound and vision doesn’t come any more impressive than this.

Ellen & The Shandells
Gypsy C/w Try A Little Tenderness
AUDACIOUSNORTHERNSOUL, riddled with angst and defiance.
A hammond charged psyche/soul dancer, pure attitude-driven all-niter classic, bringing back memories of full dancefloors and wind-swept winter nights at Cleethorpes Pier; when sounds like this, made you forget the cold and the North Sea waves assaulting the stanchions below your feet.
FABULOUSTUNE!
..and this is the 1970 seldom-seen FIRSTPRESS of the “Dry Well” - Lauren release, infinitely rarer and so much more desirable..
