New release - 2 x Hit and Run 45s - Jo Jo Benson + Bernard Drake 2 NEW RELEASES - DUE : 29 May 2020 MAILING : Wed 27 May 2020 HR 1517 JO JO BENSON - You're Losing Me / I'll Be The One I remember during the days of Grapevine 2000 going to the studios in Houston with JA to try and work a deal for Huey's masters. There was a legal thing going on and we never got to it - so I'm particularly pleased to be able to eventually release this one on vinyl 45. Unreleased in the 70s, the 'A' side did get a CD release in 2015 and the 'B' side was out on a pretty hard-to-find Jetstream 45, which I recall had off-centre pressing problems on many copies. Here they are now - totally remastered and sounding pretty darned good. I think most of us love Barbara Lynn's Atlantic original and Jo Jo's version sounds pretty top-notch too. BERNARD DRAKE - I've Been Untrue / The Natural Thing. For the last few years, one of the biggest Modern / Crossover sounds in the country. It may well have been the same Texas trip around 15 years ago, we'd been to Houston and went on to the Austin show that I saw what is possibly the only copy I've ever seen of this 45. Ultra-rare and the few known copies are in the hands of Premier League DJ/collectors. - last one I saw through ebay was $4,000. Over 50 years old and sounds perfect for today. On sale with paypal payment now : £12.00 each + £3.00 p/p ( good for 1-3 records) paypal to - hitandrunsoul45@gmail.com

'A' side is a Cleethorpes era dance winner - there's been a 1972 pretty hard-to-find £500+ original, an alleged boot repress £80+, occasional carvers £30, and a recent Soul Club press. You now have a beautifully remastered Hit and Run with a quality flip. - pure indulgence on my part - totally brilliant deepsoul featuring Joann Stevens and I'm thrilled to be able to get another deep title out on the label.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE - GEORGE JACKSON IS NOW HERE ! GEORGE JACKSON - I Want That Love Back / If I Could Open Up My Heart - HR 1515 'A' side from the 1991 CD 'Heart To Heart Collect', became a 'Soul Essence' anthem and still sounds the business today; flip is a 1972 midpacer from the 2002 Grapevine CD 'In Muscle Shoals'. Two classic George Jackson sides. Listen...
