These are the liner notes written by Rob Wigley for this record:

 

Melvin Davis, Singer, Musician,Songwriter and Detroit Soul Legend, pulls no punches on these definitive recordings of his own compositions debuting here on vinyl 45.

 

Energy pulsates from “Chains of love”, the horn section delivers a solid, perfectly timed right hook to compliment Melvin s gritty, jabbing vocal. The song has also been covered by J.J.Barnes, Mavis Staples and by The Dirtbombs which featured in the Golden Globes & Bafta winning film “The diving bell & the Butterfly”.

 

Flip the 45 over and “I'm gonna love you” soars from the grooves. An instant dance floor winner, the pace never lets up as Melvin declares unconditional love for his girl. Pat Lewis & Edward Hamilton (who recorded the original on Mary Jane Records) provide backing vocals to ensure we are indeed in the presence of Detroit Soul Royalty on this historic recording.
