I haven't posted anything for quite a while either, holidays, family sickness, family business and Brexit being the main cause, ohh and a bollocking off the Mrs if I bought any more records. Every now and then I come across a tune that appears to be both cheap, well known to most except me and to top it all, a brilliant piece. So after spotting this on the unmentionable auction site and given it a spin on Youtube, the postman managed to sneak a lovely British Green and White demo on this on to the doormat, without causing the dog to bark and a domestic to ensue, all for just over a tenner. Apologies if it's a recent spin on here, but Chris Bartley has never sounded better than on this fabulous Van Mcoy and Joe Cobb production, I definitely found a goodie:

There's some dispute as to whether these "stereo" copies are 2nd issues. There are number of threads on Soul Source about the "stereo" issue, but according to the "experts" , Epic weren't pressing Stereo copies in 1969 when the record was originally released.

True , very funky.

OK but it's the other side that does it for me or is it "just an illusion" . Cracking tune.

Underrated in my book:

Picked up a mint British Chess copy of this up from the Bay for a fiver. I'm sure that the opening intro must have been sampled somewhere, such a fab riff. Billy Stewart Everyday I have The Blues Backed with crossover perfection:
