Paul Capon

And LP only The Ripple Blast Singers LP ‘Funny Girl a la Soul’ which includes ‘Sadie Sadie’. You have to be very careful when buying a copy tho’ as there are two versions of Sadie - a slow version and a fast version. Both releases have exactly same cover and label - one character difference on the run out grooves is the only way to visually tell!! THIS IS THE FAST VERSION

Another overlooked one Thelma Houston LP ‘same’ which includes the LP only ‘Nothing left to give’. Never quite worked out why the track listing on the USA release of the same LP excluded this track!!!

RE Is this getting confused with The Ohio Players LP ‘Superpack’ on TRIP. This includes ‘Love Slipped Through My Fingers’

I don’t think this big production northern soul track ever got the credit it deserved Freda Payne - “You never should have loved me” off her MGM LP ‘How Do You Say I Don't Love You Anymore’.

This LP came out on Malaco not P-Vine. This is release is the original release from 1979
