Does This Sound Any Good?

Couldn't find anything about this artist or record; if anyone is at all interested I'll post a picture of the label later on (headed out the door now for my day of work).

DivShare File - mystery soul.mp3

I couldn't help noticing the soundclip is on 'divShare'.... Is that a clue?

That reference sails right over my head, I'm afraid. I'm not sure how to load clips onto Soul Source, usually I "embed" a DivShare link to a site but that doesn't seem to work here. Not trying to be coy about the group's identity, just figured I'd photograph it and post it here when I get home in a couple of hours. The group hasn't been mentioned on this site and, in fact, I find no mentions on the web or in the guides I own (which are, admittedly, older editions) - and I myself know nothing abou them. I see the clip's gotten some listens, but no one has opined; I wonder if that means it's not thought too kindly of?

I had a listen, thanks for posting. Not my cup of tea i'm afraid, not keen on the vocals and it's a bit bit plodding. A bit too 'poppy' for me, but that doesn't mean someone might not play it out.

I quite like it. But I am a sucker for blue-eyed soul/garage outfits. Sounds late 60's possibly early 70's to these ears.

Definitely could be played at a Northern venue.

Well, as promised, the artist. Further investigation has revealed that the "Phil" on the label refers to the Phillipines, and not Philadelphia (in any case, I was imagining it sounded like something from Texas or somewhere like that). Also, I now doubt my original assumption that a Grandells from Italy must be some other band - I now think, from some bio information, that they're probably one and the same. Further, the flip (which is probably the a-side, and which seems the lesser song to me) is uploaded to youtube. And, finally, somehow when I searched Gemm this morning I didn't notice that there's a copy for sale there for 6 bucks (so my dreams of a big score evaporate, and the kids get nuttin' for Christmas this year!).
