Description
Issue 101 of Soul Up North is out NOW!
ALL MY SALES ARE ALWAYS PLAY-GRADED
AND NOT JUST GIVEN A VISUAL ONCE-OVER
ALL THE ITEMS I AM SELLING COME FROM OVER FORTY YEARS OF COLLECTING SOUL
THERE WILL BE SOME REAL GEMS, SO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
SOME OF MY LISTINGS CARRY 'BORROWED' SOUND CLIPS BENEATH THE TITLE
ALL MY ITEMS START AT A FRACTION OF THE CURRENT BOOK VALUE
SOME FROM AS LITTLE AS 50p
70s/60s SAGINAW NORTHERN SOUL/CROSSOVER
ORIGINAL U.S. ISSUE
INCREDIBLY SOULFUL TEMPTATIONS' COVER FROM A LIVING LEGEND
WHICH CATCHES LARRY "CHUBBY" JAMES REYNOLDS ON HIS FOLLOW-UP TO "WHAT'S A MATTER BABY (IS IT HURTING YOU)"/"THE PENGUIN BREAKDOWN" (RECORDED WITH THE CHOCOLATE SYRUP)
WRITTEN BY A TRIO OF TAMLA TALENT - EDDIE HOLLAND, R. DEAN TAYLOR, AND FRANK WILSON
BACKED BY A STRAIGHT REISSUE OF A BELTING INSTRUMENTAL
ORIGINALLY CREDITED TO DON GARDNER & HIS CHECKMATES, BUT HERE IT'S STATED TO BE BY L.J.
WITH A SLIGHLY ALTERED TITLE (A SLY DIG AT RICHARD NIXON), AND WITH SOME OF THE BEST SAXOPHONE YOU'LL HEAR OUTSIDE OF DETROIT
BOTH RELEASES ARE TOTALLY IDENTICAL, AND HAVE THE SAME WRITER CREDITS - MABLE LAWTON AND SALLY GARDNER (DON'S WIFE? - MIS-SPELT AS 'GARDEN' ON THE LATER RELEASE)
IN FACT I'M NOT EVEN CERTAIN THAT THIS IS THE "CHEATIN' KIND" ARTIST
HERE'S A YOUTUBE POSTING OF THE DON GARDNER SINGLE, PURELY FOR CONFIRMATION:
Don Gardner And The Checkmates - Cooking - SPECTACULAR …
COINCIDENTALLY, "COOKING" HAD FIRST BEEN ISSUED ON THE FLIP OF ANOTHER MOTOWN COVER (BY THE FOUR TOPS)
THE SINGLE ON OFFER INITIALLY APPEARED ON A LABEL CALLED BLACK LADY, BUT I ASSUME IT WAS DECIDED TO DROP THE 'BLACK' FROM LATER COPIES
