Bo Diddley Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Trial And Error Featuring Rupert Blaize Thruway On the rise as Soul Sam / Bob Snow currently spin this rarity, that is slowly unfolding into Monster-status!! Rupert Blaize & team ignore all the overwhelming “disco” influences flooding New York in 1976 this gathering conjure up a exquisite blend of Soul/Jazz peppered with Latin influences that also surrounded them. The uplifting jangling arrangement is collared by Rupert Blaize, who’s vocal rasp fits perfectly into the Northern Soul crossover presentation, with skilled musicianship, expressive vocal and a wailing sax, “Thruway” is the best new tune on the block at the moment. It’s a “grower” creeping under your skin, hooking into you, and lifting your spirits. The parts when the lead vocalist’s voice gently cracks on the high notes, goes against the fluid flow of the session but adds a depth of authenticity to this D.I.Y neighborhood production..and the Sax breaks of pure quality, fitting so perfectly into what is happening at the forward thinking Rare Soul events across Europe at the moment.. CLASSY & RARE!! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 807.00 Parliaments Heart Trouble / That Was My Girl Does it matter which side you drop the arm on, with this much-loved Detroit vocal group Northern Soul masterpiece.. a record that has everything! The credit listing is a dream-team of the Motor City talent; George Clinton, Sidney Barnes, Joe Hunter, Bert Keyes & Mike Terry, so no wonder these musical-magicians achieve vocal group perfection. Blending a full orchestra arrangement peppered with Mike Terry’s burping Baritone sax, shrill songbirds launch a prolonged “Hearrrrrrt Trrrrrouble” at opportunity, a male bass vocal Doo-wops in the background of a blanket of harmony, whilst the lead voice pleads his lovesick case.. BRILLIANT Flip it over and you’re torn! As a finger-popping delights floats out the speakers.. a mid-tempo stroll into everything that’s good about Detroit 60’s Soul…. a lost art .. as likely to be replicated as a Chippendale cabinet during woodwork class at school… Ownership, will allow you a window into the greatest Soul ever made at any time of your choosing!! Northern Soul? It don’t get much better than this stunner. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 416.00 L. Allen Can We Talk It Over A perennial floor pleaser that has not diminished a jot, in it’s power to delight the dancefloor and frustrate those collectors seeking ownership.. SOLID NORTHERN SOUL! That lone piano intro ringing out signals the “Park Your Drink” “Rush The Floor” experience only witnessed at Northern Soul events; even before Larry Allen gets a word out of his mouth, the floor is congested as that relentless piano fights for elbow room with an off-key organ and the effect is endemic; as Larry just saunters through the lyrics, a weird high-pitched vocal occasionally pops up with the chorus… So decidedly different, the cocktail stirs into an befuddled mix of addiction.. Utterly BRILLIANT in it’s distinctiveness.. This copy is a beauty, vinyl has not a flaw in sight and plays perfect. Both labels are spankers.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 862.00 Blues & Soul No. 22 September 1969 Our data for the last 20 years indicates this is the mos elusive of all the A5 early Blues & Soul magazines - only our 2nd. copy this century… Rare indeed and this example retains a Mint 8 page “ON DISCSUPPLEMENT” insert for the current new releases albums and 45’s. Such an interesting insight how John Abbey viewed for example, Bobby Bland’s new Action release “Honey Child” or Darrell Bank’s “I’ m The One Who Loves You” the supplement also asks “Where Is Chess Going” as their releases slowed down after being a major force in UK Soul vinyl from 1965 to 1968. Soul City Chart, USA Top 50 R&B singles etc.. And that is only the insert supplement… Blues & Soul 22 itself is as riveting as all those that went before it. Featuring black & white artist pictures & bio’s on: Billy Preston; Friends Of Distinction; Drifters + discography more black & white pics of The Temptations, Jerry Butler & David Ruffin plus artist pictures and sadly obituaries for Roy Hamilton; Shorty Long untimely deaths. plus the unmissable Dave Godin column, talking about cancelling his intended Deep Soul label release with Doris Troy, who had just signed for Apple Records and wanted to avoid any misgivings of his intentions behind the release.. all very interesting stuff from our hero. If that wasn’t enough for you to have you diving to the mouse… There’s a spectacular black & white FULL CENTRE PAGE spread of THEDELLS. 22 the best of all the A5 Blues & Soul’s IMHO - this copy is in flawless condition - the supplement is MINT Sorry, this item has already been won!

We lead with the punchier “The Best Is Yet To Come” drum rolls, jerking piano prods punctuate the blaring brass arrangement as the “unknown” vocalist gets to work. A slab of elusive Northern Soul with a cult following that has appreciated the Stafford era dancer for decades. Over that time we can count of one hand the number of times we’ve had the pleasure of presenting it for sale. One of those simmering away on the back burner 45s that has never been over presented to the dancers as so few Jocks possess a copy, like all good Northern Soul 45s, it’s reputation glowing from it’s validated obscurity. I hadn’t heard the flipside in an age, and was pleasantly reminded of it’s addictive charm as a mid-pace stroller, benefiting from all the ingredients of the lead side side unfolded. RARE SELDOM SEEN and shimmering with revival potential for the rare &underplayed events. A-side 95% of the vinyl is Mint - the a-side has a light scuff at the beginning that is only cosmetic not transferring to the stylus.

Click the soundfile and from the first note you are hoping for a memorable listen, then as soon as Willie Pickett’s vocal takes to the air you can’t wait to hear what 3.45 minutes bring… It brings passion and class together, as the zipping strings melt into a whirlpool of heavenly girl-group choruses, as the imploring vocal solicits your attention and waterboards you under the weight of truly spectacular Soul!
