Soul Shrews

Well my QCA press has a strikingly clear text. Also the sound quality is so good it fairly jumps out of the speakers ("I Loved You Girl") side anyway. To be honest I"ve not played the other side for a good while Soooooo.........??? Cheers Paul

Yes Russ spin from around 78/79 I think Love it myself had a mint UK copy from that nice Mr Rez for not a lot of dosh a couple of years back. Leon is of course a jazz legend Cheers Paul

Jerry Cook ? Cheers Paul

You can find plenty of deep soul/ballad 45s here in Holland with the artists/song title erased or covered by marker pen so I guess the Surinamer/Dutch deep soul scene covered up stuff back in the 70s. Cheers Paul

That looks like the pink one to me Cheers Paul

Didn"t we work out on here some time ago that the pink ones came first and then the multi coloured ? Cheers Paul (who dumped his pink one BITD after seeing a multi coloured and thinkilng he had a boot)

Yep just found one(vol1)on UK Edsel reviewed in Ãn The Basement" mag 15 from 1999 Tracks on that one taken from 73-77 though not featuring his northern tracks. Not sure whats on vol 2. Think theres a US comp as well but featuring later material ? Cheers Paul
