Review: Freddie Terrell & his Blue Rhythm Band delivered a gem in 1970 with the timeless crossover soul track 'You Had It Made'. Co-written with the elusive rare soul figure Herman Hitson, the song is a perfect fusion of soul and funk, combining Terrell's smooth vocals with a vibrant arrangement that feels both classic and ahead of its time. On the flip side, 'Standing In The Way' brings a laid-back, jazzy groove that's become a cherished favourite, especially on the UK soul scene. Its midtempo rhythm, underscored by Terrell's effortlessly cool delivery, continues to resonate with audiences, solidifying its place in the rare soul canon. The track's obscure roots and soulful depth have kept it alive on dancefloors and in collections, a true testament to its lasting appeal.

Review: Geno Washington & the Ram Jam Band were an U.K. based soul band, active between 1965 - 1968. Born William Francis Washington in Evanston, Indiana, Geno joined the airforce marching band and, after leaving high-school, was transferred to England - a week before his 18th birthday. His previously unreleased session recording featured here is 'If This Is Love (I'd Rather Be Lonely)' Also featured is 1965 Northern Soul number 'The Drifter', another unreleased Pye recording originally recorded in America in 1965. It was released in the U.K. the next year, where it was covered by English-Canadian Long John Baldry.

Review: Texan soul man, Frank Wilson, receives a timely repress of his 1965 monster "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)", a tune which remains highly sought-after in its original format, and one that is bound to fly off these shelves like hot cakes! Outta Sight's done a great job here, and the quality is class, offering the original cut in all its majestic, romantic glory...oh, do we love this! The flipside is the mellow "Sweeter As The Days Go By", a certified love ballad that is a pleasure to the senses, each and every time...

Review: With roots as a backing singer for Stevie Wonder, Wycoff went on to become a soul ambassador throughout the early 80s. This 1982 reissue is one of the best examples of his silky, heartfelt delivery... "Looking Up To You" is a dynamic love song where traces of big 70s production build and build throughout. "(Do You Really Love Me) Tell Me Love", meanwhile, was only ever released as a B-side. Its 80s production counter the dramatics of the A-side with cool synthetic perfection. Reissues don't get much broader in production or sweeter in sound than this.
