HEARTS - Dear Abby/instro Tuff (USA) 370 NM 12 Aw, MAAAN! Delicious, booming, echoey girl-group-a-lula from 1963, and the song is based on the playground rhyme about going out in the garden to eat worms. THIS IS THE STUPIDNESS THAT TRANSCENDS GENIUS!

Wah-wah and hand-drums funk-soul, mostly free of disco-flavor additives. 725 has a strong arrangement with dramatic wah-wah guitar, 728 is a bit more discofied than the others, but still palatable. 728-B is classic Quiet Storm- styled stuff.

BRENDA LEE - It Takes One To Know One/Ain't Gonna Cry No More Decca 31970 NM 25 The grown-up Brenda here -- songwriting and arrangement point toward a sultry, 'cool' Dionne Warwick vibe, but the vocals are a little more raw & gutsy than that. Northern Soulsters want this title, yes they do. WARREN LEE - Climb The Ladder/Ever Since I Been Loving You Deesu 315 @VG++ 10 1967, Uptempo two-sider; A-side's a nice dancer. Looks NM-, plays less.

LOVE CHAIN - The Sun/Somewhere Over The Rainbow United Artists (USA) 50582 @NM- 12 AOR-soul/flowerpsych; trippy efects deep in the mix, testifyin'-gospel shouts at the song's climax; on the flip, soul-gals turn pop standard into deep-soul lib- eration-gospel, like "somewhere over the rainbow there's a Free State I can escape to." Like that. Damage to spindle hole, doesn't affect play. Yet. LOVE CHAIN - John And Mary/Sensitive Vibrations United Artists (USA) 50621 VG++ 12 Deep-soul ghetto love-song, seems to be about breaking up with a boyfriend because he's too heavily into drugs. Beautiful chorus. Flipside's got everything but a song; nice handclaps & call-n-response vocal arrangement, weird guitar... TEDDY VANN involvement.

PAUL MARTIN - Don't Hustle Me/I've Got Another Mule Ascot(USA) 2190 VG+ 12 Dark minor-key southern soul with Chicago moves. Flip's happier and dancier, still very blues-flavored. On Ascot? COOL!!

MESSIAH - Alpha Waves/Easy Livin' Magic Minstrel (USA) 3001 NM 20 From FLA, Rude, jazzy funk instro with lotsa organ and a bad-ass wah-wah riff. B-side's not as minimal, extreme, or interesting... but still okay. Tough one. MIGHTY HANNIBAL - Hymn No. 5/Fishin' Pole Shurfine (USA) 021 @VG+ 12 1966. Deep, deep soul ballad with apocalyptic lyrics, gets truly spooky toward the end. Flip's uptempo, nice dance-craze dancer to bring you back to earth. Later reissued on (Jamie?) ... BOBBY MOORE'S RHYTHM ACES featuring CHICO - Try My Love Again/Go Ahead And Burn Chess (USA) 1156 stVG++ 10 OR BBH VG++ 8 Soulful beat-ballad with ska-flavored horns, halfway deep-ish.

PRISCILLA ROBBINS - Letter From Miami/Obeah Woman Roulette R-7148 stVG++ 7 1973, EXUMA side-project. A-side's cute nursery-rhyme salsa-funk-pop and the flip is in their usual santeria/spookiness bag.

Uptempo, blue-beat flavored hand-clapper, sounds a lot like his 'happy for the rest of your life' song. Very incorrect male-chauvinist lyrics. Flip's an r&b/teen-rocker like Gary US Bonds or Frankie Ford. SOUL RUNNERS - Spreadin' Honey/Grits N Corn Bred Mosoul 101 NM 35 Primitive-sounding, raw swamp funk; voodoo sound so thick it reminds me of dub reggae. Love it. Pre-WATTS 103RD STREET BAND. SPICE - Sweet Norma Jones/Can't Wait Till The Morning Comes Sound Gems (USA) 101 NM 20 1974, Philly label. Bunny Davis, if that means anything to you. Classic Philly sound, but a little stronger and more muscly than usual; semi-tough funk moves and a really strong F. vocalist with a harsh edge to her voice & deep, testifyin' style. Northern guys, get your freak on... Flip's a reciting/singing ballad with blatant late-Supremes moves a la Ain't No Mountain High Enough. SPIRITS - Get A Job/I'll Be Strong Toot (USA) 603 VG 4 Updated, contemporary-1967 funk/soul version of doo-wop classic. Flip's a southern ballad with a teeny lil bit of bluesy guitar. Trade Martin involvement. EDWIN STARR - Agent Double-O-Soul/instr Ric Tic (USA) RT-103 NM- 20 1965. Dance-floor classic.

R&B proto-funk jam b/w strong, hollerin' bluesy dirge. Looks NM, plays VG.

JIMMY THOMAS - You've Tasted Another's Lips/I Love Nobody But You Sonja (USA) 2004 stVG 5 1963. Bland ballad two-sider; deep vocal on the A-side, B-side is mostly spoken. Ike & Tina involvement, but you can't really hear them. RUFUS THOMAS - Can Your Monkey Do The Dog/I Want To Get Married Stax (USA) 144 @VG++ 12 Delicious pounding 60's funk. B-side is a little more polite but it still rocks. BERTHA TILLMAN - What Am I Trying To Prove?/You Had A Good Thing Going Jocko 599 @VG+ 4 Sassy girl-group soul, lousy production. Moderate water stain on label. Plays VG. looks better. TIM - I Need Your Love/My Side Of The Track Celtex 102 WLP NM 17 Bluesy deep-soul w/intense, testifying vocals. J J TOBIN - You Name It (I'll Do It)/Dancing To The Beat Of My Heart Claridge (USA) 310 VG++ 15 WLP. Pounding beat, handclaps... Northern? Hutch Davie involvement. RSOL. IKE AND TINA TURNER - The Argument/Mind In A Whirl Sue 772 stVG 5 1962, solid New Orleans style rockers with wild, shoutin' vocals. This is the one where Ike says "I should hit you upside your head... I might give you a black eye..." SAMMY TURNER - Lavender Blue/Wrapped Up In A Dream Big Top 3016 VG+ 5 Produced by Leiber & Stoller. Silly song with a remarkably soulful (for 1959) vocal. SAMMY TURNER - Paradise/I'd Be A Fool Again Big Top (USA) 3032 @VG+ 5 1960. Leiber & Stoller two-sider, bit of a departure for them; lotta jazz influence here. They were experimenting, trying to come up with a new twist like the Spanish Harlem sound? TYRONE (THE WONDER BOY) - Suffer/Try Me 4 Brothers (USA) 4B447 VG++ 20 1965, Tyrone DAVIS. Minor-key bluesy southern ness with horns -- like Stax but darker in mood. Flip's midtempo, nice beat. Belgian sound? UNTOUCHABLES - Do Your Best/Raisin' Sugar Cane Madison (USA) 147 NM- 7 Unauthorized REPRO of a 1962 doo-wop/soul hybrid. Midtempo/ballad two-sider, Sam Cooke-styled lead. Pretty nice, and a legit orig. can run in the low three digits. BOBBY WADE - Blind Over You/Funny How Time Slips Away Deluxe 128 WLP VG+ 4 Two deep-soul testify's. Looks better than VG+, doesn't play so hot. WALLACE BRO.S - Go On, Girl/One Way Affair Sims 220 VG++ 4 WALLACE BRO.S - I'll Step Aside/Hold My Hurt For Awhile Sims 227 stVG++ 5 Both 45.s are concise, poppy mid-60's soul, solid but nondescript. WALLACE BROTHERS - I Need Someone/Airborne Shuffle Jewel (USA) 792 @VG+ 4 Sweet southern soul on the edge of deepness, kinda reminds me of The Miracles. Flip is funky. RW. JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON - Superman Lover/We're No Exception DJM 1019 NM-- 3 1976. Disco/funk with lengthy, melodic guitar solos. Slight noise on b-side. MARK WAYNE - Tell Me It's A Lie/See-Saw Warner 5256 NM 8 Teen-pop, 1962, with strong soulful vocal on one side.

LENNY WELCH - It's Just Not That Easy/Mama, Don't You Hit That Boy Cadence 1416 VG+ 8 1962, White-label promo. A-side is lovely teen-pop, sounds like a black Dion in ballad mode. Flip is a JUMPING soul-n-b rocker in a kind-of Gary US Bonds style. Much fun. WHITE FAMILY BAND - I'm A Little Bit Smarter Now/Miss America, Stand Up Duke (USA) DK-479 NM- 10 WLP. 1974-sound Philly/Isaac Hayes black-AOR. ANDRE WILLIAMS - Cadillac Jack/Mrs. Mother USA Checker (USA) 1205 @NM 10 Pimp-ass novelty, blues-vamp instro with storytelling on top, Stag-O-Lee type melodrama. Flipside is incoherent patriotic stuff of some kind. Doesn't make a bit of sense. WITNESS - Go Right Ahead/All God's Promises. Lection 877472 NM 3 1990, religious-themed contemporary 'r&b/soul'. BRENTON WOOD - Some Got It, Some Don't/Me And You Double Shot 130 NM 6 OR VG++ 4 BRENTON WOOD - Boogaloosa, Louisian/Need Your Love So Bad Double Shot 150 NM- 5 GAIL WYNTERS - Snap Your Fingers/Find Myself A New Love Hickory 1453 @NM 5 1968, WLP. Another genre-f***; semi-rockin' c&w sides with a SEVERELY soul- inflected chick singer. Not quite unpleasant, but the only times I could imagine playing it would be when company's over, to give them something to goof on. BETTY YOUNG - The Way Of Love/Too Bad For Us Rising Sons (USA) 703 @VG+ 3 1967, WLP. Little-girl-voice first version (?) of song that later was big hit for Cher. DEE DEE YOUNG - Tell Me Tonight/You Haven't Seen Nothing Challenge (USA) 59225 @NM 8 Nice teen girl bopper/ballad with all the right 1963 moves. Ed Townsend involvement.

NEW ARRIVALS BARBARA ACKLIN - Someone Else's Arms/Is It Me Brunswick (USA) 755433 NM 12 Promo label. Phillyish, sweeeeeet and sloooow.

BBH. RAY BREWSTER - The Worlds Of White And Brown/The Love Song Diamond (USA) 199 stVG 3 1966. Promo label. Orchestrated sweet-soul with strong vocal. Strings, harpsichord(!)... Teddy Vann involvement. ALDORA BRITTON - When A Woman Has A Baby/Feelin' The Need Decca (USA) 32752 NM- 15 Promo label. Sweet soul, dynamic vocal. Flip's kinda funky. BROTHERS OF LOVE - I, You, We (Go Together Perfectly)/My Heart's In Trouble Intrepid (USA) 75032 @VG+ 20 1970. Fast and tough, hotshit funk two-sider with hand-drums and killer wahguitar. Small crack in outer lip, NAP. CARL CAYTON - It's A Sin To Tell A Lie/Whispering Grass (Don't Tell The Trees) Demo Ristic (USA) 777 VG++ 20 Jazz/standards type singer with electric combo; enough drums & guitar to bring it close to rockin/r&b style. Flip's early soul with piano triplets & backing group. Echoey, kinda crude production. Rare Detroit label. CHERRIES - You Know You Gonna Need Me/Make My Life Worth Living Della (USA) 1215 VG++ 20 Crude & weird-sounding, echoey arrangement & production, sounds almost like bluebeat. Midtempo bopper b/w gospelly ballad. Mississippi label -- looks and sounds "rare". JOHNNY COPELAND - Blowing In The Wind/Dedicated To The Greatest Wand (USA) 1114 @VG+ 6 ON HOLD Promo label. Shufflin' uptempo with light horns, credibly soulful/churchy vocals. Flip's a tribute to Sam Cooke. Huey P Meaux involvement. WO2L. TYRONE DAVIS - We Got A Love No One Can Deny/You Keep Me Holding On Dakar (USA) 626 VG+ 6 Mainstream 70's soul -- smooth but propulsive. Not sweet, not funk, not southern... DIPLOMATS - Here's A Heart/He's Got You Now Arock (USA) 1004 VG 5 Deeply church-y sounding and soulful group-harmony ballad b/w an excellent midtempo pop-tune dancer. Great hook in the chorus. LOWELL FULSOM - Why Don't We Do It In The Road/Too Soon Jewel (USA) 802 stVG++ 15 SOLD BUT ... I have another copy coming soon KILLER heavy-psych pounder by 50's bluesguy updating his sound for the post-Hendrix era. Record proved that black men can be two-chord neanderthals too. Flip's a laid-back blues-lounge ballad that won't knock anybody out. LOWELL FULSOM - Sleeper/How Do You Want Your Man? Jewel (USA) 805 VG++ 8 Heavy, funky postblues with tough guitar and minimalist horn section. LOWELL FULSOM -Lady In The Rain/Letter Home Jewel (USA) 801 stVG++ 8 Dark & depressing socially-aware funk b/w lighteharted number that sounds half Chuck Berry, half Buck Owens. LOWELL FULSOM - Change Of Heart/Every Second A Fool Is Born Jewel (USA) 827 stVG++ 8 1972. Blues with some funk moves, none of the Hendrix-y guitar that some of his 45.s featured. BENNY GORDON & SOUL BROTHERS - It Comes And Goes/A Kiss To Build A Dream On RCA (USA) 9270 stVG+ 10 Another Godlike piece of soul songwriting -- Benny G's the God of loveable pop hooks. Flipside is badass live-sounding funk with SCARY party noise in the background. JOHNNY JAY AND THE GANGBUSTERS - You Get Your Kicks/Gangbusters Blues Josie (USA) 980 VG 5 1967. Blue-eyed soul, northern sound, sorta like a tougher Tommy James & Shondells. Flip's a version with overdubbed guitar leads. GLADYS KNIGHT - Operator/I'll Trust In You Fury (USA) 1064 VG++ 20 WLP. Deep-soul performance of teen/girl-group songs. Kinda disorienting; for me, the vocal doesn't mesh with the material. She sure can sing, though. Small WOL. BOBBY MARCHAN - Rockin' Pneumonia/Someone To Take Your Place Cameo (USA) 489 VG+ 10 WLP. Midtempo N'Orleans funk with horns. '65 sound? Wild vocal, screamin' and carryin' on. Flip's a blues-ish deep-soul ballad. TONY MIDDLETON - Send Me Away/I Need You Tonight Philips (USA) 40151 VG++ 20 1963, WLP. Fast & swingin' Northern-style pop-soul b/w doo-wop style ballad with piano triplets and backing girls. 2RSOL. PRETTY PURDIE - Blow Your Lid (But Watch Your Cool)/Soul Clappin' Date (USA) 2-1606 VG+ 12 WLP. Discotheque/Go-go/soul instro. CAROLE QUINN - What's So Sweet About Sweet Sixteen?/Good Boy Gone Bad MGM (USA) 13265 @VG++ 40 Girl-group/teen-pop with elements of Spector & Motown; traces of an appealing "Little Eva" vibe are buried under fancy but unsympathetic production. Apparently a popular record on one of the club circuits -- popcorn? JIMMY RADCLIFFE - (There Goes) The Forgotten Man/An Awful Lot Of Crying Musicor (USA) 1024 VG 3 1962-63. Super-dramatic Brill Bldg Orbi-style overblown soul ballad, written by Bacharach & David. Flip's uptempo Sammy Davis Jr. hokum. BIRD ROLLINS - Here He Comes Drunk Again/Do It Do It Calla (USA) 178 VG++ 15 Blue soul ballad b/w rockin' three-chord instro. JOHNNY SAILS - Don't Turn Your Back On Me/You Told A Lie Mar-V-Lus (USA) 6000 stVG+ 15 1965. Tough early-style funk, day-umm. Flipside's something bluesy, sorta reminds me of Screamin' Jay. BBH. SANDY AND THE SOPHOMORES - I Trust You Tommy/Walk Away Girl Columbia (CAN) 4-43089 stVG++ OFFERS Appealing white-girl group, closer to the Lesley Gore style than any other. B-side has a good beat and a delightful hook in the chorus, should really be a mod-club dancer... if it isn't already. Mansfield puts his Ex copy at 75 GBP, but this is a Canadian pressing, so ... OFFERS. SANTELLS - So Fine/These Are Love Courier (USA) CR 115 NM 35 Crude, handclappin' girl&b with way too much echo. Flip's a lush ballad; primitive sound completely muffles the desired effect. Los Angeles label. SPRINGERS - Why/Last Heartbreak Wayout (USA) 2799 stVG+ 15 1966? Deep-soul ballad two-sider, heavy on the churchy emotion. Small WOL. TERRY & THE TOPICS - Where's My Pussycat/Just A Gigolo Coral (USA) 62509 VG++ 50 Gogotheque instro: horns, some chuggin' B-3, long guitar break. Apparently, it's a popular spin among yer Mod-type of disc jockeys. I liked the b-side a lot better, frat-rock version (w/vocal) of 30's standards. If I were dj.ing in clubs, I'd probably play the hell out of it. Manship has this at 50 GBP, this copy's a bargain in comparison.VONTASTICS - Day Tripper/My Baby St Lawrence (USA) 1014 NM- 15 Hot 60's-funk with James Brown style horn section. Flip's like a ska ballad, pretty durn bluebeat-sounding. FREDDY WATERS - Love Is A Two Way Thing/I've Got A Good Love Tee Jay (USA) 8700 VG++ 20 Sweet 70's sound with a light tenor lead. Philly-stylin', but no disco elements. Flip's Curtis Mayfield-styled funk. Also issued on Ref-O-Ree. Hope to hear from you -- Hugo M.
