Timmy Carr & The Cooperettes - "Got No Time" / "I Want My Loving From You" - (Soul Direction)
News on upcoming 45, available to pre-order 28th May 2023
Here's Soul Direction's release/press notes and promo videos...
Timmy Carr & The Cooperettes - "Got No Time" / "I Want My Loving From You" - (Soul Direction)
Mastered from the original studio tapes.
Release Date - 11°" June 2023 (Pre Order from 28 May 2023)
The two tracks featured on this release initially surfaced as an Impact Recordings Studio Acetate. Another copy did surface later but has also been featured on a compilation CD but never as fully licensed 7" vinyl single. We have decided to release the extended "Studio
Master" version of "Got No Time" with the engineer count in and unedited run out.
According to Howard Ravitsky the songs in question were backed by the Cooperettes which were an all-family affair of sisters, Janette, Debbie, Tina and Angie Cooper and not the Persianettes as previous thought.
The songs were written by Howard Ravitsky and Phil Hurtt. Hurtt went on in later life to write the massive hit song "I'll Be Around" for The Detroit Spinners. Timmy recorded a song on the Kee Label titled "Workin" backed with "I'm Not Lyin'" which possibly is his rarest
release.
It should be noted that well known Collector Tim Ashebende was the first UK person to track down and meet Howard in Philly some years ago, which largely lead to some of the tracks from his stable reaching a wider audience on the Northern soul scene.
