Eddie Whitehead / Mary Saxton

JUST YOUR FOOL

Eddie Whitehead

LOSING CONTROL

Mary Saxton

The master tape to Eddie Whitehead's 'Just Your Fool' was a big bonus for Ace among the Fraternity tapes from Cincinnati. The sheer quality and building rhythm of the music, allied to Eddie's tormented vocals, made it another mega-bucks item. The flip is Mary Saxton's pounding 'Losing Control', a veritable Wigan monster of yore.

Jackie Day

NAUGHTY BOY/GET TO STEPPIN'

Jackie Day has been a Kent staple since the very first "For Dancers Only" LP 30 years ago. We were very proud to produce a CD of all her recordings last year and we've chosen two highlights from her career for a 45. 'Naughty Boy' was one of the key records in reviving the Northern Soul scene in the 80s and has remained a £1000+ trophy ever since. 'Get To Steppin'' is another on-the-fours dancer that has only graced a 100 Club anniversary single prior to this release.

Dave Hamilton / The Barrino Brothers

PISCES PACE

Dave Hamilton

THE BAD THINGS (YOU SAID TO ME)

The Barrino Brothers

Dave Hamilton continues to influence the rare soul scene. Imaginative DJs have picked up on his rare TCB 45 'Pisces Pace' which brims with jazz, blues and funk but maintains a steady irresistible rhythm that has made it a dancefloor winner in recent years. We've included a similarly funkified gem from Detroit legends the Barrino Brothers which was the third track from their TCB waxing, not released until the third of Kent's Dave Hamilton CDs.
