John may need to answer this himself or it may just be too bloody obvious that everyone knows the answer but me!

In Johns book Eddy Jacobs Exchange "Pull my coat/ Black is black" Columbia 44821 is listed as "FLove" for genre.

What genre is Flove?

Cheers, Chris

ps. page 271 in the 5th edition.

Ah, I see the problem. It's a glitch in the formatting. There should be a space and line break between the F and Love.

F represents the category = Funk.

Love represents the first word of the following song title on the line underneath, which should read: Love (Your pain goes deep).

Russ, I dont know the record so to clarify, are both sides funk?

Cheers, chris

here is one side

I don't know the other side but it might be a cover of the los bravos record?

It is.

They also did a cute version of the Four Tops "Can't Seem To Get You Out Of My Mind"......

Other side is a slow soulful track but does open with a fast open breakbeat and then simmers down .. very strange intro I have to say !

It is.

Also, "love your pain runs deep" is the same track that frankie beverly and the butlers do on gamble. but each version credits the performing group so it's not clear who stole from whom.

Both the Eddy Jacobs 45 and the Beverly + Butlers on Sassy credit Billy Jackson as the writer. He's promoted to William Jackson on the Gamble issue of Frankie Beverly. which seems to have been released in 1968 while Eddy Jacobs came out in in '69.

This topic throws up a couple of interesting points, I feel. Given that there are concerns that the Northern scene has gone "too funky," there's clearly a substantial divide between a lot of the collectors if 'Pull My Coat' isn't that well known. It's kind of essential funk stuff that's maybe the equivalent of a top 500 Northern record.

Wasn't aware of a version of 'Love, Your Pain Goes Deep' by Los Bravos though - if I understand that's what being said here. Can't imagine it being much cop. Anybody got more info or a link to anywhere that it can be heard?

There seems to be some confusion here. Their two 45s on COLUMBIA are as follows:

Eddy Jacobs Exchange - Pull My Coat / Black Is Black - COLUMBIA 44821

Eddy Jacobs Exchange- Can't Seem To Get You Out Of My Mind / Love (Your Pain Goes Deep) - COLUMBIA 45174

The flipside to "Pull My Coat" is indeed a version of Los Bravos hit "Black Is Black". Much faster and more of a stomper than Los Bravos cut though.

here's some soundclips to the 2nd 45 : jazzman reissued it ! https://www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk/v2/search.asp?s=Yl68dv288011&strKeywords=eddy+jacobs

yes this 45 I think is definitely seen as a funk45 : Sounds like the 45 with 'Black is Black' on has the more Northern style flip ! instantly made me think of Lord Sitar and his version lol

I feel like an idiot now.

I've got a copy of 'Pull My Coat' but mines the double sided promo. Used to have a copy of 'Can't Seem To Get You...' too (old Wigan sound for Richard Searling), which is obviously where I know the flip from.
