This turned up last night when I was going through a Ebay upload.

 

Its a acetate of the Pageants with Barbara Reeves - I'm really something.

 

Anyone have any info on this recording? it is currently for sale on Ebay and a sound file can be heard via the link below

Any additional info welcome as I'm listing it as a one off.

 

Has an early Motown sound but does anyone know it.

 

Personally I think its a cracking Girl group sound.

 

Thanks Darren

Yes I saw that Dave, I was really wondering if it ever had a release. I see theres another acetate as well with Do It With Soul on which is the flip on this one.

 

Thanks Darren

I think this is the same Pageants that had several releases on Philadelphia labels, although Joe Davis operated out of New York.  I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the recordings on both acetates were pressed up and released on some small New York labels.

Wow don't you just love the Soul scene.!!!!
