Firmly perched in the top of the five greatest “last Records” ever spun at Northern Soul venues.
Jack Nitzsche swells his reputation with an arrangement to compliment Mr. McDaniels booming vocal - as Joe Saraceno production mushrooms into a mountain of soul.
An inspiring NS classic of monumental proportions…that requires very little gloss from us…
Except to say as the 1965 British press in fine clean condition still snuggled inside it’s birth sleeve - is a prize to behold.

Jeff Adams
From The Beginning
When I first heard Al McCarther “His True Love For You” I just fell into an abyss of joy.
Not heard this seriously rare record in quite a while - and it’s just had exactly the same effect on me. As the sound of BEAT BALLAD HEAVEN postings reach fever pitch on Facebook - I consider this 45 as the stand-out listing.
Stupidly rare and as a last record for a DJ set, this will elevate the jock to Stand-out status also.
Listen and fall into my abyss….

Duke And Leonard
Just Do The Best You Can
The super slick verbal-volleyball performance from Duke & Leonard is mobilized by tapestry of brass and piano.
The combination of the partnering horns with a Sam & Dave style vocal arrangement creates a compelling dancer that has sat for decades on the cusp of Northern Soul approval. Hindered over the years from lack of exposure, but at last, the combination of the internet and recent DJ spins at last this 45 reputation is growing and growing fast.
It’s just proper Northern that has sat on the back-burner for too long… watch this rise to it’s rightful level.
