Rudy Love & The Company – Suffering Wrath b/w Percy Milhem – Call On Me – Kent 7″

Northern’s gone funky in recent years and here’s the track probably more responsible than any for the conversion. ‘Suffering Wrath’ is a tough title for a dirty, mean, belter of a song: beware. Percy Milem’s ‘Call On Me’ has been admired for decades by the Soul cognoscenti but is about to take off big-time. It’s just been featured in the film Soul Boy and sounds perfect among the Wigan stompers; even if it never actually got spun there.
