Sophisticated midtempo group soul by the fantastic Topics, who recorded a string of mindblowing records between 1966 and 1987 for Carnival, Noodles and other labels and released a legendary LP on the tax scam label TSG owned by Lloyd Price. Anyway, a clean copy of a true masterpiece and the flipside (the actual A-side) should get some attention too as it's a brilliant sweet soul number. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/topicsbookingup.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/topicsgivingup.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx REACHERS: I Just Want To Do My Own Thing * MAGIC DISC, M-, 600.- Euro, on hold Uptempo Modern Soul for the dancefloor and a record, that rarely comes to market.

So, what you see here is an unreleased slice of 60's dance soul, that only exists as an original acetate and in very limited numbers on this great sounding reissue. Not sure, if these are the Detroit Precisions, they don't sound motorcity-like to my ears, but whoever this is, it's mindblowing good 60's dance soul. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/precisionstreason.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/precisionsmeandmy.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LEE McDONALD: Gotta Get Home / Show Me * DEBBIE, M-, 75.- Euro Outstanding Modern Soul stepper from 1979.

Let's hear what sir shambling has to say about this record: "Although he recorded a few 45s under the name “Artie Christopher” I’m 99% sure that this is really Johnny Christopher, the guitarist/songwriter who is best known in soul circles for his work with Chips Moman at his American Studio in Memphis. Christopher’s musical credits are both lengthy and impressive but I want to concentrate here on the soul side of his personality. His initial single under his nom-de-disque included the superb deep soul ballad "My Baby's Crying". This has all the ingredients that I love in this genre – some simple gospel chord changes, fine organ/piano accompaniment, a gently cooing chorus and some rich horns. On top of which “Artie” does a really bang-up job of expressing the emotional angst of his own lyric. Was this cut in Nashville? Or Atlanta – where Johnny came from? I don’t know. The flip – and both sides of the second Atlantic 45 were certainly cut at American." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AARON NEVILLE: All These Things / She's On My Mind * BELL, promo, M-, 25.- Euro Nola magic on both sides by the big guy Aaaron Neville, blessed with a voice beyond compare.
