Both label designs were issued in gold vinyl Steve.

The Rare Groove genre was always a haphazard confusion of styles and tempos, pretty much as the Northern scene became during the mid-70's.... not that that's a bad thing....I've always preferred my soul well mixed. Rare Groove though seemed to have been tagged as such by certain DJs that dug just underneath mainstream soul of the day. Rare is almost a complete misnomer (as Steve says) since most tracks as good as they were, were not particularly rare, more overlooked. Not an easyily definable style, and as much confused by some record dealers as DJs who were happily labelling any half decent, and not so well known tunes as Rare Groove for the extra $$ the tag attracted, much the same as the crazy eBay dealers still tag absolutely anything as Northern in the hope of attracting bigger bucks. Tracks like Mary Holmes - I Need Your Loving, and Gwen McCrae - All This Love I'm Giving were played under the banner of Rare Groove at the time but were equally at home on the Modern Soul scene as were plenty of others, which goes to show the one man's Rare Groove is another man's Crossover / Modern Soul / Funk.

That's the side Blake

Looking for a nice clean copy please... PM me with price and condition Ta.

Colin Curtis got the better of that splt...... Inspirations vs. Robbie Lawson.... no contest

Nice show Lars... great to hear Anubis again and that Seattle Pure Dynamite is a great track.... let me know when you get a spare

What, nobody ? Someone told me that the Nite Liters was originally played at the Torch.... anyone know who the DJ was ?

£50-75 seems to be about right.... "Surrender Your Love".... quality tune..

Not surprised at that Steve, it's a ballad, barely walking pace .... not really a crossover tune.... but agree with your comments on Curtis like vocals, very different style to his work with the Sensations, but great all the same.
