Benji Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) About two years ago there was an discussion about a very obscure/rare german 7" on the "RS Schallplatten" label featuring two equally obscure cuts by Gene Middleton b/w The Wilderness. To my surprise I found a V/A compilation simply called "R&B Rhythm'n'Blues" on the very same label a few days ago. According to the sleeve notes all tracks were recorded in Florida in 1969. Tracklisting is: The Lovelles - Here come the heartaches Julius Wright - Things will change Groove Kings - Coastin' Gene Middleton & Wes Prim with Groove Kings - Drip drop Wes Prim - Miss you, baby The Lovelles - I wonder why Gene Middelton - Stop where you are The Wilderness - Good times, bad times Georgia Soul Twisters - Voop The LaShand - All my love Gene Middleton - You need love Does anybody know if they were released anywhere else? I know that Lovelles - Heartaches, Gene Middelton - Stop/You need love and Wilderness - Good times did get US 7" releases but what about the others? And were the 45 releases mono or stereo? On this album all cuts are stereo and sound fantastic! Stand out track is Julius Wright - Things will change. A truly great piece of midtempo crossover.!!! Google search didn't reveal any traces of it being released anywhere else. All I could find was a YouTube by Markus Gora from Hamburg. Therefore I assume it only ever came out on this LP. Three other great tracks are both Lovelles uptempo Northern cuts and The LaShand, a lovely midtempo ballad. I know that Bob A once said he has the Lovelles I wonder why on german RS 7" so I guess it only ever came out in Germany. LaShand seems to be previously unissued. Hear all tracks mentioned on my YouTube Channel Edited November 21, 2011 by Benji Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Benji Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Just giving this a little bump. I mean, 100+ views and only one reply? What do you guys think of the tracks (probably) not issued anywhere else? And just to point it out: The album is a genuine 1960's release not a recent one.
