Etta James

Tell Mama - Uk Album

Our second rare British LP offering this month commemorates the passing of a lady who affected everyone who ever heard the driving passion and pain emanated from Etta’s every syllable.

This offering is the 1968 UK Chess press that many off you may never have seen before - it is that elusive! But unlike her British Ember album, this Chess 4536 lp contains Etta giving up SOUL at it’s very deepest “I’d Rather Go Blind” Soul/RB dance music at it’s most-potent “Tell Mama” and also a killer LP only R&B dance track of the highest order “Watch Dog” + so much more.

Both LPs offer the collector a slice of “Black Music” history that will never be repeated - there will never be another ETTA and certainly the chance to own such a album rarity with a cover that is “Soul-Art”, is an opportunity unlikely to present itself again in the near future!

Vinyl has a few very light surface marks but as you can hear it plays beautifully. Cover and labels are immaculate!

Rotations

(put A Dime On) D-9

Utilizing the same backing track as Barbara Mason’s - Bobby Is My Baby - Jimmy Bishop and the Dynodynamics Philadelphia production guys lay a magnificent vocal group Northern Soul dancer down.

Magnificent lead-vocal project Kenny Gamble’s lyrics, with a shrill girl-group assistance blending the whole session into pure Philly Northern.

You will not need reminding that this example is the stupidly RARE STOCK copy. Vinyl has a few insignificant light surface marks - but as you can hear it plays loud, clear and true - and just begs you to get up and DANCE!

Joan Dovalle

Let Me Go C/w No Better For You

Although the label makes no reference to “PIED PIPER”, this is not only 100% Detroit “Pied Piper” it is also one of the finest examples of this iconic Motor City gathering’s work.

Arranged by Herbie Williams & Joe Hunter, both sides give up the purest possible example of street-level Detroit Northern Soul.

  • This 45 has everything!!

Topside is the original take of the Gordon Berry backing track featuring an enthusiastic Mike Terry poised to interrupt the blaring horns and Joan’s ear-drum thumping vocal portraying Andre Williiams, Ray Monette & Michael Campbell’s lyrics, that just 2 releases later Abstract Reality did different but compelling take on.

If that were not enough, the Pied Piper gang in the same session had the audacity to record a flipside so filled with attitude it commands your instant respect; especially as Mr. Terry can again be heard effortlessly kissing-out those magnificent Bari-Tone sax prompts from that legendary brass wand of his….

Got To Find A Way Out

The iconic Bunny’s big-ears poppin’ out of the hat - would be a crate-diggers heart-stopper, because Lennie LaCour’s label has served the rare-soul collecting scene with countless delights of rare innovative Soul!

This furious girl-group Northern Soul dancer again underlines why the label and the man are so very highly regarded. A subtle drum n’ bongo intro collides with pumpin’ horns, then this gang of defiant girls, kick-ass seeking a way out of a bad relationship with a man who tells lies.

Totally killer girl-group Northern Soul of the rawest kind…
