JUST BROTHERS - Honey |
|
| |
| |
| Previously unreleased, and totally unknown until a battered acetate surfaced in 1999, Honey went through more reconstructive surgery than Michael Jackson before its pristine release in 2000.
Originally recorded as the A side to the magnificent Sliced tomatoes in 1965, it features the same distinctive guitar licks, but listen out for the strings and tight harmonies too. Their other northern monster, Carlena, is on the flip. |

LORRETTA KENDRICK - My feelings keep getting in the way |
|
| |
| |
| The release of this gorgeous song has been Hayley’s proudest moment since the label began. Beautiful vocals, heartrending lyrics and a string arrangement by the great Marvin Gaye himself make this the epitome of a soul record.
Lorretta’s take on “Neither one of us” on the flip makes this a great double header. |

THUNDERBIRD SOUND - In heaven and on earth |
|
| |
| |
| John Manship described this record as the best instrumental he’d heard since “Exus Trek” and who are we to disagree! Released with the artist and title credits it carried on the tape box when first discovered.
It actually turns out to be the backing track for Jimmy Ruffin’s previously unreleased barnstormer “Shake hands with a dreamer”. “Our finest hour” is pretty good too. |

J.J. BARNES - Love at first sight |
|
| |
| |
| Although not usually known for his ballads, J.J. can cut it with the best of them, as this mean and moody little pleader clearly shows.
Originally recorded in 1975, the song has remained unknown and unreleased until now. His in demander “Think I got a good chance” completes the pairing. |

JIMMY RUFFIN - The Entertainer/STEVE MANCHA - One in a million |
|
| |
| |
| What a lovely pair! Jimmy’s 70s re working of the Tony Clarke classic is masterful. One listen and we guarantee you’ll be hooked.
Equally entrancing is a previously unknown gem from one of Detroit’s finest singer/ songwriters. Great soul value. |

ALMETA LATTIMORE- These Memories |
|
| |
| |
| Many rate this gem as one of THE most soulful records ever made. “These memories” was recorded at United Sound studios in Detroit, and sees its first official release in UK.
The flip, “La La” was made at the Stax studios in Memphis, and combines to make this a truly spectacular Hayley double sider. |

SY HIGHTOWER - I Wonder Why |

EMANUEL LASKEY - (Put your Name) in the Hall of Fame |
|
| |
| |
| Hayley does it again with two more previously unreleased tracks from the late, great Emanuel Laskey. "...Hall of fame" and "Different kind of different" were recorded in Los Angeles in 1978 with two of his long time friends, Marvin Gaye and Mel Bolton.
Written and produced by the trio, the single features an uptempo song squarely aimed at the dancefloor paired with the more mellow "Different kind of different" - both clearly showcase Emanuel's great voice. |
