I'M A GOOD WOMAN / SYMPATHY ... 7-inch, 45rpm single by SILKY SPEARMAN. Original Belgium pressing on EUREC label (720), from 1970. Outstanding, sister funk cum northern soul cum funky mod cover version of the Barbara Lynn I'M A GOOD WOMAN anthem. Nobody seems to know anything about the mysterious Silky Spearman and this killer double-sider. Comped on Jazz Bizniz 2 by the Counterpoint label. A superb example of euro-only female funk with big vocals / congas / fuzz guitar / hammond and drum breaks. Silky trips-out in the studio with vocal shades and tones a la Marlena Shaw - Liberation Conversation / Woman Of The Ghetto and even James Brown style shouts in places too. Great for DJs (and a nice one back to back with Cavril Payne - When I Open My Eyes ;) For us, the best and most obscure release with superior, louder production sound on the Belgium issue, compared to the French and later, Portoguese release ;) That said, for some collectors the SYMPATHY side is even better. A more unusual arrangement and seldom heard, so expect a darker psychedelic sound with thought-provoking, soulful vocals / looped latin riddim intro into groovy / progressive / spiritual rhythms with cool flute solos and jazz horn section :) Beautiful image of the singer on the sleeve artwork too. Rare 45!!!  

Our record grading: SEALED / M- / VG++ / VG+ / VG 

Vinyl is in shiny, strong VG++ condition (closer to M-) with a few hairlines and some pressing marks. Light surface noises. Superb production sound. The fragile thin, laminated fold-out picture sleeve is in strong VG++ condition with some ring creasing from storage. Sharp looking item. Minimal, light corner wear. Rare 45!!!

Please feel free to contact us with any condition queries you may have preferably before bidding. We will get back to you asap.
