This EP is taken from the forthcoming CD/LP Soul Culture Vol 1 (Straight Ahead)...Part one of a major Sony-BMG three part release compiled by writer, journalist DJ and world renowned Soul Music, Rare Groove and Northern Soul expert Dean Rudland. The rare groove scene has always been misunderstood - never really about rarity per se, but rather more about the undiscovered and under appreciated sounds of black America finding favour on the UK's multi-racial dance floors. Album tracks, obscure singles even US hits that meant nothing here have often been picked up by the dedicated DJ and that is why compilations such as this exist. Soul Culture is a three CD/LP series featuring some of the hippest, coolest, rarest and most sought after tracks ever. Brick -"Dazz" (A conjunction of the words Disco & Jazz) kicks off this EP in style with one of the biggest dancefloor fillers of the Disco era, achieving No.1 on The Billboard Black Singles Charts, No.3 on the Pop Singles chart and No.7 on the Club Play Singles chart in 1976...Next up is James Walsh Gypsy Band -"Cuz It's You Girl" featuring a piano intro with sharp horns and spine tingling vocal this was a truly massive record on the Northern Soul scene and it's no wonder an original copy can easily fetch £150...this really is a wonderful record...Side two features Edna Wright "Oops Here I Go Again" and Lamont Dozier "You Make Me A Believer"...Wright had sung in the Blossoms alongside her sister, Darlene Love and was a member of the Soul Super Group Honey Cone who's singles, "While You're Out Looking For Sugar" (the debut single on Holland/Dozier/Holland's Hot Wax label) and "Girls It Ain't Easy", were R&B hits in 1969, before two 1971 soul chart-toppers, "Want Ads" and "Stick Up", established the trio (the former also topped the pop charts). "Oops Here I Go Again" is the title track (Single) of her 1977 album written and produced by her husband Greg Perry and is another truly wonderful piece of soul music...and we conclude this four track EP sampler with one of the all time greats and Hall of Fame life member Lamont Dozier "You Make Me A Believer". By the mid 70s original Supremes songwriter Lamont Dozier had embarked on a performing career. It was really a return to what he had originally planned to be before he teamed up with Eddie and Brian Holland and wrote many of Motown's greatest hits for the likes of The Supremes, The Four Tops and Martha and the Vandellas, and after Motown he penned hits for Freda Payne and the Chairmen Of The Board. In 1974 Lamont left his own label and started a solo career that took him to ABC, Warners and then Columbia where 'You Make Me A Believer' was recorded...All in all this four track EP is deserving of every serious record collection and I wholeheartedly recommend it to you...
