One of two 45s this Austin Texas based Soul Man recorded for Bill Quinn's Houston label. Both 45s are full on Texas Northern Soul backed with suicidal despairing Deep Soul ballads of the highest calibre.
Major plagiarizes Darrell Banks's timeless "Open The Door To Your Heart" for the Northern Soul side, writing different and highly effective lyrics, retaining the signature DB horn riffs pace, thus creating a fabulous mid-pace Northern Soul dancer elevated by this Texans ear-piercing vocal.
Flip it over the mood fall into an abyss of desperation, his pleading vocalreaching out through a funeral style hammond and horns...
Two fabulous examples of street-level Texas soul delivered by a man, who feels every note! This offering has perfect vinyl & labels!

What Did You Tell This Girl Of Mine C/w What About You
So MINT we are using the soundfile from the 1967 Back Beat 586 release.
This gleaming as new SUE 4043 press is perhaps unplayed!
Having said that the main reason for the listing is 3 fold. 1. Condition 2. It's a seldom seen SUE # with huge rarity credibility. 3. It has a flipside that every most-every Northern Soul fan has missed.
"What Did You Tell This Girl Of Mine" is awesome Texas Northern Soul, a solid proper standout dancer of real substance. The flip is as you'd expect from O. V. is a funeral paced Deep Soul ballad, a mood changing few minutes of the hurting-kind.
If you like your British 45 perfectionist, who lives for that awe inspiring moment, of spying sparse sprinkling of fine dust on the vinyl, that tells you this has never been out of it's jacket in a age. This record is for you.
PERFECT and offering to outrageous SOUL recordings in it's rarest form.

You Don't Want Me No More C/w Wait Till I Get You In My Arms
Above all 45s this historic piece is considered the "Anthem" of Stoke's Golden Torch - the NS shrine, that on a cold and miserable night of Dec. 9th. 1972 a steaming-sweating standing room only crowd paid homage to this great man, an event that to this day is universally consider Northern Soul's greatest happening.
Of all his Okeh recordings this one held it's mystic for over 4 decades as unlike his other classics it never got issued in Britain, and ironically is more "Northern" than any of his sessions.
Before you today is an impeccable PROMO bristling with all the same seductive charm that it would have had, sitting in a 50 count carry case 40 years before.
A timeless NS piece of the very highest calibre...

You Won't Say Nothing C/w If You Can Stand Me
Comfortably sitting right in the TOP TEN all-time rarest of the rare - most wanted girl vocal Northern Soul 45s ever made.
A click of the soundfile will reveal why this 45 is considered a huge Northern Soul trophy piece with few equals in it's genre.
George Clinton, Fuzzy Haskins & Ernie Harris craft another mid-60s masterpiece a few years before they left on their spaceship, which I consider their finest achievement in their long and controversial career.
Condition of labels and both vinyls are impeccable.
just in case I forget to ever mention it, I find this listing of the prices achieved, i day after the auction finishes, really really useful.
So thanks Joe .
