This one has been getting plenty of airing from me lately. The Impressions - Wherever She Leadeth Me (Curtom) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y7GJE3SnDQ

It seems like sometimes the standard issues of it on Mowest fetch silly money for a very common record, but I'd never seen one of these before finding it "in the wild" today, so thought I would send it out to the pros and see. Cool to have it with a pic sleeve too!

Any ideas?

NORTHERN / R&B / CROSSOVER 45S LIST Postage From Denmark is £3 to UK/EU, £6 elswhwere, registered at cost. Please PM for photos. Thanks for stopping by! Carrie Cleveland - I Need Love / Make Love To Me (Audio Ent ISSUE) EX++ £180 SOLD Only the faintest marks on the wax and label to keep this copy of a Bay Area crossover / modern mega rarity from being NM. Came directly from Cool Chris of Groove Merchant who told me it was the last of his stock copies. 100 issue copies / 50 promo copies ONLY of this one, and they don't surface often. VERY conservatively graded! Leonard Howard - I Got A Love / There's a Girl (Heres) EX++ £30 Very rare, under the radar midtempo bluesy stroller from Leonard Howard on his private pressed Heres label. There are two versions of this record, one with both these tunes on the A side and a two-part funker on the flip, but this version bares a different mix with sax and only the ballad flip. Seems to be this mix is the rarer of the two, though I can't confirm since there's very little info on it. "Not For Sale" scribbled in pencil on A side, a noticeable edge lift warp that does not affect play in any way. Soundclip of the proper mix with horns up on Manship's. Eddie Floyd - A Deed To Your Heart / I'll Be Home (Lu-Pine) WLP EX £30 Nice Detroit early Northern/R&B dancer on a cool white label promo. Seems to be a tough find, and doesn't turn up on demo too often. Seen on other lists at £50-100+ in lesser condition. "I'll Be Home" side has a small X, otherwise very clean! The Toys - You Got It Baby / You've Got To Give Her Love (Musicor WLP) VG+ £25 A seemingly forgotten 1967 oldie double sider that doesn't appear to be on anyone's current sales lists. The "you got it" side is a nice midtempo girl group number while the flip is a pounding uptempo funk-edged stormer! Labels ain't bad and the vinyl still has lots of shine. Witches & The Warlock - Behind Locked Doors / Same (Sew City WLP) EX £18 Excellent girl group dancer on a cool white label promo. Barbara Randolph - I Got A Feeling / You've Got Me Hurtin' All Over (Soul) VG+ £15 Visually EX but plays a bit hissy with some groove wear throughout, and has one of those annoying metal 45 adapters lodged in the center that I dare not try to remove, so as not to ruin such a classy tune. Bargain? The Jades - I'm Where Its At / Mother's Only Daughter (Ree) VG/G £10 Boot alert! However, a rarer boot that sometimes fetches well above this asking price. "I'm Where Its At" has two scratches in the middle of the disc that tick for about 15 seconds, albeit not too badly on my deck. B-side that you won't want to play anyhow is knackered. Grab a deal? Harold Burrage - You Made Me So Happy / Take Me Now (M-Pac) EX+ £8 Nice little R&B edged moaner on a fantastic label. Small pen mark on "Take Me Now" side, otherwise clean as a whistle! Sylvia Thomas - At Last / So Will I (Bamboo color label) - VG £18 (plays well above grade) Jimmy Delphs - Almost / Don't Sign The Papers (Karen) - EX- dh £15 Rarer dark blue label pressing on vinyl, drill hole and one small mark NAP Edwin Starr - Girls Are Getting Prettier / Its My Turn Now (Ric Tic) - EX- £8 Madeline Bell - Picture Me Gone (Philips light blue label) EX £8 Eddie & Ernie - The Cat / I'm Goin' For Myself (Eastern) - VG+ - £5 Eddie & Ernie - I Can't Do It / Lost Friends (Eastern) VG (plays GREAT) £12 Oscar Toney Jr. - Ain't That True Love / For Your Precious Love (BELL) - EX dh - £8 Jackie Lee - Your P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-I-T-Y / Try My Method (Mirwood) VG - £5 Howard Tate - Glad I Knew Better / Get It While You Can (Verve) EX- £6

Great price on the Artistics 45

It is indeed a great track, a very reluctant sale but I have a big want to fund. So it goes...

Any way for us who sadly are too far away to attend to hear this, Ady?

Washington state or DC?

and on the same subject, what is a "fillier"?

So then how irksome is it when someone calls a recording a "cover version"?

Lets see how many soul artist covers we can compile of the Jackie Wilson classic

This one seems to get used a lot (I'm guilty of it as well)

Thanks ever-knowledgeable Robb!

This is the label design. Any idea where Lennie/Leonard was from?

Hey Matt, I'd be willing to wager given those similarities in names and the b-side of the other pressing of the 45 I have being a funk tune (which I still haven't heard actually, just going off of info from here and other sources) that its the same artist we're talking about.

A few added to the list since this afternoon's initial post

The boy bands he produced?
