Here's a little gem well worth picking up......

Reviewed in this months "Soul up north" magazine and starting to get plays here and there. I heard Sean Chapman play it upstairs at Cleethorpes yesterday and it sounded great. Not completely unknown by anymeans, just waiting it's chance to get noticed........seems like the time has arrived :rolleyes:

We sold our spare to Sean a while back and I know he plays it out a lot - its as cheap as you like and a lovely track. Its had plays here and there for a long time. Haven't played it out myself for ages, but its one that always attracts positive comments from people who havent heard it before. Such a pretty label as well (Thats the girly bit :lol: )

ABSO-BLOODY-LUTELY F*CKIN FANTASTIC! :lol::lol::)

Been playing this for ages to no reaction. Can't for the life of me see why :rolleyes:

I suppose it depends on what kind of soul night it's played at. I wouldn't expect to hear it at a Northern oldies night , however played at a crossover / modern event, or even some upfront soul nights, it would fit perfectly....... :sleep3:

Ebony Essence.....Goodie train, which is the same record as jean battle, which is your Avatar........ :)

Seems to me this track's got a lot of respect.........keep playing it :sleep3:

Yeah it is a great little track respected by many - whether its got enough mileage in it to become well known in the bigger clubs is anybodies guess.

And shame on you Mister Onetrout for not mentioning the simply sensational 45 by Ollie Nightingale 'I don't know why I love you' which came out a few months later on Memphis 105. Now that is pure soul.

derek

What a great little label Memphis was - great colourful design. There must have been some money behind it as the company sleeves are quite plentiful.

Matt from Trowbridge has been trying to sell me his spare copy for ages.

I'm not convinced, it is all that good to be honest. I've heard worse, but find it a bit forgettable.

John, get to bed you lazy sod, I'll do it! :thumbsup:

I agree, the Ollie Nightingale release is far better

I was going to put the flip on your CD Roger, but decided against it. Didn't like it back then............... 5 days ago wicked.gif but it grows on me every time I hear it, don't think I'd ever play it out though :thumbsup:
