Just been revisiting a couple of discs on this Newark label...real street-level Soul: Judy McDonald - Thanks To You / There's Nothing I'd Rather Do #114 Judy McDonald - Thanks To You / Thanks To You #206 Little Willie Jones - When Will I Stop Loving You / You're Welcome To Try #115 I recall TNIRD and YWTT from the Stafford period (GuyH?) but both have slipped through the net. The Judy McDonald is a lovely mid-pace plodder whilst the Little Willie Jones is a solid pounder with "B.Boy breakdown" in the middle! So, who was Vernell and what else is on the label? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcGSZhxybs

Sam Dees - Lonely For You Baby - SSS Int. A tune I can listen to on repeat and never tire of...Stafford classic that is now an established Oldie! Labels: have slight wear...see pic; Playing surface: has a few light scratches and one small scuff. Plays with no cue burn or styrene distortion...just a couple of light ticks right within the fade out right at the end (MP3 available).
