Articles: The Epitome of Sound - The Story


Goldsoul

Recommended Posts


This record never dates, it never fails to move me, it always sounds as brilliant as the first time I ever heard it and as far as I'm concerned, it's one of the top 5 Northern Soul records ever made, a truly unbelievable track.

Oh yes Pete, 100%. Still cherish my copy that I've had for 20+ years and always play it out whenever I get a D.J spot.

In my Opinion, this is the Best Northern Soul Record ever, as already said by someone else a real Anthem in its day and still as popular.

Excellent stuff.

And as Pete suggests - a truly special record that used to tick all the right boxes for me back in the day and it still does today

Great stuff and it must be the same group as the Megatrons/Megatons whose 'Detroit Sound' on Laurie I used to play covered up in the mid 80s and we put out on a Kent LP of Laurie material. Eugene Thomas was the lead on that too.

Any chance of licensing it from its owner? Assuming we'll get access to the tape of course?

Great Story and update on a true Northern classic.

This was one of the first 5 Soul sounds I heard at Youth Club in 76 which turned me on to Soul Music and a great double header.

Are there any other Epitome demo tracks out there, or did they just do the A & B sides in that session?

Also any news on Eugene cutting new material?

Cheers :lol:

Nice one Pete.

Michael P is Robert Paladino's brother.

Joeg Dee had no connection to 'the band.

 

Lovely archive piece.

Just a small query Kev

It has come to light that "You Don't Love Me" charted in July 1967 in both Detroit and Cleveland

It has been suggested that it may be memory or a typo that this article says released early 1968 or perhaps the Demos were out and being played and the Issues were pressed much later, but thought would throw into the mix for anorak and histories sake if you can confirm please.

Probably Robert Paladino’s memory. He was the one who told me 1968. Easy mistake to make though.
