SOME FROM AS LITTLE AS 50p

60s NORTHERN SOUL

ORIGINAL U.S. PROMO (GOLD VINYL)

Bobby Patterson (1944 - )

MIND-BLOWING TWO-SIDER FROM THE EARLY DAYS

A. SELF-PENNED TORCH SPIN WITH ONE OF THOSE DRAG-YOU-ONTO-THE-FLOOR INTROS (WHICH WAS A DIRECT STEAL FROM THE MIDDLE BREAK OF THE TEMPTATIONS' "GET READY"); FALSETTO-STYLE VOCALS AND COOL SAX BREAK; PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO SEE THIS SIDE LISTED AT #446 IN KEV ROBERTS' FIRST NORTHERN SOUL TOP 500; REISSUED AS THE FLIP OF BOBBY'S NEXT JETSTAR 45, "GUESS WHO" (JS-117); MY OWN PERSONAL COPY HAS THE MORE COLLECTABLE BROWN AND YELLOW SWIRL VINYL - WHICH LOOKS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL

B. LYRICALLY GLEEFUL SKIPPER THAT REMAINS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE A-SIDE; ANOTHER HAPPY TUNE, "WHAT A WONDERFUL NIGHT FOR LOVE" WAS PLAYED AS FAR BACK AS THE LATE-WHEEL DAYS, SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN VIRTUALLY AS A NEW RELEASE BACK THEN; PREVIOUSLY PUT OUT AS THE B-SIDE OF "T.C.B. OR T.Y.A." (JS-114), BY WHICH TIME BOBBY WAS VIRTUALLY THE ONLY ACT SIGNED TO JETSTAR

BOBBY PATERSON
