HR 1558 Barbara Mason - You Better Stop It / Just You And Me

Classic Philly soul from 1969 - her ever-popular Northern midpacer, the reissue from 2016 now on Discogs at £100+, plus here we have a never before on vinyl flip, showing 600,000 hit on youtube - a massive track from the Queen of Lowrider Soul.

'Just You And Me’

‘You Better Stop It’

HR 1559 Tony Owens - I Need, I Need Your Love / Wishing, Waiting, Hoping

Two 1968 winners from Isaac Bolden productions in New Orleans; topside is the original recording before The Philharmonics - great midpacer which also does it right for the California collectors + a flip beat ballad which just oozes class. The original cut of the song later made popular by The Philharmonics, coupled here with a simply wonderful beat ballad flip.

‘I Need, I Need Your Love’
