Dean Parrish was blissfully unaware of his cult status across the Atlantic on the UK Northern Soul scene, despite selling 250,000 copies of I’m On My Way as part of Russ Winstanley’s Three Before Eight EP. He had to wait until the dawn of the new millennium before he was finally tracked down by soul detective Andy Rix and, to his astonishment, the truth was finally revealed. Bricks, Broken Bottles and Sticks remains Dean’s favourite recording bringing back memories of performing in clubs and at racetracks around New York City with the Motown Revue. It is also the rarest of his US recordings and is long overdue a vinyl revival.
J.B. Troy was a New York balladeer who sank without trace after two flop singles for Musicor Records in the summer of 1966. He has been well known to deep soul fans for some years but it is his much overlooked storming dancer Live On that we feature here. Originally spun at Wigan Casino by DJ Pat Brady this rare Musicor 45 is rapidly increasing in value and is set for big things.
7” single.
