Eula Cooper – Try b/w Let Our Love Grow Higher – Numero/Disk Union 7″

Two burning Northern Soul sides from the deep South, cut under the watchful eye of producer extraordinaire Jesse Jones. Issued originally on Jones’ Tragar and Super Sound labels in 1969 and ’70, respectively, both sides showcase 16-year-old Eula Cooper’s tender pipes, climbing octave to octave while a barrage of syrupy strings, woodwinds, and in-the-pocket drumming take care of the rest. Issued by Numero in conjunction with Japan’s Disk Union, this pic-sleeve 45 is limited to 500 copies worldwide.
