"I GOT WHAT YOU NEED"
HEAR HERE!!
Oscar Perry and the Love Generators - I got what you need - YouTubeA. IF EVER A RECORD PERSONIFIED A CERTAIN ERA AND A CERTAIN CLUB IT WAS THIS AMAZING TRACK AND THE HIGHLAND ROOM AT BLACKPOOL'S MECCA; I WAS TOO YOUNG TO VENTURE THERE, SO BOUGH THIS COPY AT A REGULARLY-ATTENDED ALL-DAYER AT TIFFANY'S IN NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME; THE YEAR WAS 1976, AND IT COST ME A QUID; I DIDN'T KNOW THEN THAT THE FIRST COPIES HAD A YELLOW LABEL WITH GREEN TEXT, WHICH WAS ALTERED TO LIME GREEN WITH BLACK TEXT WHEN STOCK RAN DRY; AND I'M PRETTY CERTAIN THAT MOST COPIES ENDED UP IN U.K. COLLECTIONS - IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN IN MINE VIRTUALLY FROM NEW (AS HAS THE EQUALLY MAGNIFICENT "MAIN STRING" FOLLOW-UP)

"COME ON HOME TO ME"
HEAR HERE!!
Oscar Perry Come On Home To Me - YouTubeB. THIS SIDE VERY NEARLY COMES CLOSE TO THE MAJESTY OF "I GOT WHAT YOU NEED" - ALBEIT AT A MORE PEDESTRIAN PACE; THE SCENE IS SET BY ONE OF THOSE SPOKEN INTROS THAT AUGUR THE GREATNESS TO COME, WHILE THE FEMME LOVE GENERATION SEXILY CROON "DON'T YOU GO TO A STRANGER - COME ON HOME TO ME"; IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG, THAT'S FOR SURE; YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD TUNE DOWN, AND THIS SIDE WAS REISSUED AS THE FLIP TO "GIMME SOME" IN 1976 (LOCALLY ON PERI-TONE AND NATIONALLY ON PHIL-L.A. OF SOUL)
