Helene Smith True Love Don't Grow On Trees/Sure Thing 7" Single Northern Soul.
A Deep City Records release (one of five for Helene Smith) that
originally came out in 1965 on the Miami-based label, ‘True Love Don't
Grow On Trees’ is a gorgeous mid-tempo soulful heartbreaker, while the
flipside and its wandering guitar line sounds like girl group buried
treasure that would have sounded fantastic covered by Dusty
Springfield. In the hands of Helene Smith, both tracks are nothing short
of magnificent. These two tracks only previously appeared as a long-lost
single that goes for £300 a pop these days. Acclaimed as the First Lady
Of Miami Soul, Helene Smith came back into prominence with the issue
of Numero’s 2006 ‘Eccentric Soul’ album of Deep City cuts.
