Northern Soul & Crossover 45’s

Kings of Soul - Is your love for me - Down to earth / EX / £2250 (Superb nighter spin! And a rare one only on issue copies. Back in 2008 when living in Chicago I went through the entire basement of Out of the Past in hunt for one of these. I found a few white demos, a few hundred copies of Chimes “Beginning of my life” and most other releases on the label. But the few copies of this one had already been cleared out. Label is a bit wrinkly around the centre, as with most copies of this.)
