Truly Awesome Record - And I've Got It

Posted September 16, 201014 yr

Was looking through a box of stuff in the shed earlier and came across a record I don't remember buying but I obviously did buy it - NAT BROWN on SELMA. This is not my usual sort of record because it's kind of deep soul mixed with a beat ballad, don't really know how to describe it, anyway I bought it in the house and played it and it floored me. So I wondered if I'd posted it up before, I couldn't find a post of it from me but someone else had so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and if anyone knows anything about it I'd like to hear that.

Jocko is reading this topic, why do I get the feeling I am going to be the victim of a cutting comment and any minute now

something like "How can you like this Pete, it's not produced by Biddu" or something similar

Never thought I'd say this to you Pete but welcome to the dark side

Yes, I've got one too Pete. It's the other side that's the crossover dancer and bloody great it is too. It's a shame the recording is crap and it's a very low cut press. Both sides are fantastic though.

"Go Ahead" has been something of a cult record for a good few years (and very good it is too).

I'd always dismissed the uptempo side "Before And After", as it's quite messy and very badly recorded and mastered, but it's actually a pretty good Tighten Up clone. The label is from Jamaica, New York (as opposed to Jamaica, W.I.) and there are a couple of other reasonable soul records on the logo. I dug it out to play at Soul Or Nothing earlier in the year and played the ballad side by mistake (gold labels with blue type are pretty difficult to read in the dark). A few people came up to ask what it was and one or two to remark that they also had it but didn't have the courage to play it in a nightclub.
