Motown originally signed Adbul Fakir, Levi Stubbs, Renaldo Benson &Lawrence Payton to sing jazz - they even recorded a LP in late 1963 intended for Motown's Jazz Workshop label. But a quirk in recording schedule with Holland - Dozier - Holland gave birth to "Baby I Need Your Loving" which emerged as an overnight Smash-Hit!
Jazz Workshop album was shelved - Holland - Dozier - Holland went on to chalk up 3 consecutive 4 Tops hits in just over a year.
Before you today is the "Tops" first released album which includes those hits and their flipsides. But much more importantly is this album boasts TWO non-45 masterpieces of Northern Soul. 1. Don't Turn Away 2. Tea House In Chinatown Click the soundfile to unleashed totally noncommercial Four Tops recordings doing absolutely killer Northern ! If that's not enough for you to dig deep.
How about this immaculate 1965 UK MONO press TML 11010 - LP ownership does not get much more satisfying than this - does it?

Chanters
Every Nigfht (i Sit And Cry)
Soul gals of the 60s who went of to carve a reputation as The Chanter Sisters working with such R&B influenced Brits like Long John Baldry, Sam Mitchell, Archie Leggett, John ´Rabbit´Bundrick (The Who stand-in) etc.
Doreen & Irene Chanter did their "soul" with great consistency, this example of their work is incredibly rare and has remained completely of the Brit-collectors radar for decades. Recently this 45 is stirring both DJ and collectors interest, one click of the sound-file will reveal a mighty piece of Brit-Northern Soul with a rarity pedigree few UK 45s can rival, and turntable potential that just jumps out the computer at'cha.
This 1966 DEMO copy is immaculate!

Danny Owens
I Can't Be A Fool For You
As rare as they come New Orleans Northern Soul and by far and away the least seen 45 on this iconic label.
The "Soul Hustler" Harley Hatcher pulls Danny out of 5 barren years to record a thoroughly uplifting session. Mr. Hatcher weaves a tapestry of brass and vibes to compliment some intricate vocal interchanges of two distinctive different vocals.
A rarity that received a few plays from Soul Sam back in the 70s but since has remained a record that very few DJs own - but one listen will convince you it's reputation and high value are thoroughly well deserved. Records of this calibre demand to be heard again... and not suffer from their own rarity.

Dynamic Heartbeats
It Ain't No Secret C/w Danger
Since those Soul-Vinyl collecting decades of the 70s & the 80s when the streets of Britain was paved with USA Soul 45s some of the records we collectors/DJ's took for granted that never for whatever reason broke big in the clubs and have long since disappeared and today sound oooh so very good.
How about this Paul Serrano project - the man who brought us the mad-crazy but monstrous Northern Soul instrumental Dave Mitchell's - The Trip - created a more relaxed vocal-group session with this Chicago gathering.
Take a listen BOTH sides give up purely smooth and totally perfect Northern Soul offering that will leave you wondering why it never hit big first time round. Don't bother walking the streets - copies just ain't laying around any more...actually I think this 45 is about to ignite a long, long overdue meteoric rise to a much bigger ticket.
Upon checking out the soundfile, we are confident you'll all be in agreement..
I've got this and I didn't think it was even worth listing on the LP list I put together at the weekend, it's a good album but not rare, now that it's sold for £246 I'll put it out at £24
