"That's the Spirit" by Rev. Willingham is an absolutely INCREDIBLE 60s mod dancer. Pete didn't mention it above, but it's actually a James Brown production, with the full JB band providing the instrumental backup. "Try Me Father" on the flip is a great hunk of wailing soul, too.

A complete snip at whatever he's asking for it, IMO...

PS - Hope you got my message re: Chiffons, Pete.

Go on then Tony, I'lll take it on your rec.

Pete, PM'ed you.

It was also reissued in 1969, on this Excello gospel subsidiary:

I have known about it since the early 70s, but it took me over 30 years to get this copy, and even longer to get a Federal one. I wish I'd had it in the 6Ts West Hampstead days, I would have loved to have rocked the house with it then and there...

...and both sides are covers of JB songs. That's The Spirit is Ain't That A Groove while Try Me Father is Try Me.

Yeah there is a recent topic on this very subject Phil, it's Jamaican

That would account for the mis-pressed label (off centre) a bit like most of the Studio 1 presses.

Thanks Pete.

Phil.
