The Fantastic Puzzles – Come Back (Part 1) b/w Part 2 – Shotgun UK 7″

The Fantastic Puzzles were a group from Brooklyn, New York, and had recorded as ‘The Puzzles’ and as ‘The Four Puzzles’ with veteran Sam Culley but it isn’t known who sang lead on ‘Come Back’. A raw demo of the track had featured vocals by Sheldon Turner.

The instantly catchy and infectious retro-flavoured song was produced by hitmaker Patrick Adams and the up-and-coming Greg Carmichael. They were prolific and successful at that time but, sadly, not with this particular record.

‘Come Back’ was issued in 1975 on the promising but short-lived New Moon label which was distributed by Mainstream Records. It was popular enough with UK soul fans to warrant a release on Pye’s Right On! label the following year and its revival is long overdue.
