Hesitations Soul Superman/Bobby Bland 7" Deptford Soul.
A chiming guitar, vibes on full and that heady Motown / Ric Tic drumbeat with a falsetto vocal…what’s not to love? Originally released on Kapp in 1966 and often bootlegged, copies go for in excess of £100 for this excellent, driving floor filler. The Hesitations have a few Northern nuggets to their credit - ‘Soul Superman’ is right up there with the best. Backed with the super bluesy vocal of the legendary Bobby Bland on an aching tale of loss and regret. A slow smoochy groove with lyrics of genuine heartache… and all this with a resilient slow motion dance beat and some exquisite brass breaks. Featuring a gorgeous vocal-only drop out, it’s a triumphant return from the man who also released the beautiful ‘Shoes’. Both sides remastered for sprung dancefloor shaking longevity.
