You are viewing one of the very rarest Northern Soul vocal-group 45s it is possible to own.
So take time to absorb, as the next copy you see, may be in another lifetime.
Yet another enthralling Herb Miller project capturing everything both the Northern Soul and the vocal harmony enthusiast hungers for.
Top side is a flowing horn bolstered mid-tempo groove incorporating a beseeching lead vocal soothed by a raft of harmony and understated brass. Sublime, shimmering with class and utterly RARE!
Flip it over, the pain amplifies as the lead vocalist realizes he’s a fool awaiting a phone call that never comes… his misery saturates every note and the despairing atmosphere builds to a point of overwhelming empathy - as you too realize it’s a situation you’ve experienced…
Not only RAREST OF THE RARE but two of the very finest examples of it’s the genre.

H. B. Barnum
It Hurts Too Much To Cry + 3
Seldom seen 1963 UK 4 track EP with a laminated picture cover showcasing the great H. B. in in his most recognized pose.
The utterly prolific Hidle Brown Barnum boasts an unrivaled portfolio of Northern Soul offerings and productions. Before you today is his rarest platter, looking so tempting not only for the stunning laminated cove but also the only way that his highly sought after “It Hurts Too Much To Cry” came out in Britain.
Cover condition is superb only a light crease top right corner otherwise Mint -. Back cover is free of any writing, tears or flaws.
Both labels are perfect.
Vinyl on the “It Hurts Too Much To Cry” track is excellent. “How Many More Times” has a light scuff NOT affecting play. the 2 other tracks on side 2 are excellent.
This rare piece is still a gaping hole, in even the most-complete of British Soul vinyl collections.

Jive Five Featuring Richard Fisher
You're A Puzzle
Richard Fisher is about to unleash a adrenaline fueled runaway-train Northern Soul that will leave you breathless.
Although this 45’s reputation has been huge amongst collectors chat at the bar for decades now, it is a mystery why this isn’t recognized as an ultimate NS stomper right up there along side “Key To My Happiness” “I’m Not Built That Way” “Quick Change Artist” to name just a few timeless classics.
“You’re A Puzzle” spews out ever note with equal power and attitude. A defiant slab of Northern Soul driven by Otis Pollard’s penchant for horns and his refusal to ignore the finer aspects of 50’s vocal group harmony.
The whole effect is a stunning slab of Northern Soul that will rise up once DJs like myself, give it the turntable time it has unfairly been deprived of.
View and listen to some PROPER-REAL-DEAL-NORTHERN SOUL as a tempting seldom-seen BLACK STOCK copy!

The Motown Story - 1970
Compiled By Blues & Soul Magazine
In 1970 the now well established Blues & Soul magazine compiled a 36 page FULL COLOUR magazine in tribute to the unparalleled achievements of Hitsville over the last 10 years.
Littered with full-colored artist pics to accompany in-depth biographies.
Artists as you’d expect cover - Diana Ross & the Supremes 4 group photo’s, Mary Wells, Kim Weston, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Jackson Five, Four Tops, Edwin Starr, Marv Johnson, Rare Earth (full page pic), Elgins, Isley Brothers, Contours, Bobby taylor, Jimmy Ruffin.
Full-colour centerfold 6 x LP EMI advert.
2nd 1/2 is more colour & black and white artist pic to accompany artist biographies of Junior Walker and the All stars, Kiki Dee, Chuck Jackson, Marvelletes, The Spinners, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, The Temptations, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Martha & The Vandellas.
Plus a unique and complete UK singles and album discography that was still available to order in 1970.
followed by more artist pic and bio’s of Brenda Holloway, Blinky, Velvelettes, Fantastic Four, The Originals,Shorty Long and finally the beautiful Tammi Terrell.
Is there a finer more in-depth tribute to Tamla Motown in magazine form, we think not. A a cost a 5 Shillings in 1970 - 42 years on this tribute stands as a lasting testament to greatest independent record company in history.
Ironically this is the hardest of all the Blues & Soul publications to find.
