Sam Dees – Lonely For You Baby b/w I Need You Girl – SSS International 7″

Propably THE ULTIMATE ‘Southern Northern’ Soul HAMMER, a genre-scene-defining MONUMENT of a record and how delighted we are to be able to offer this in 100% mint ‘MUSEUM CONDITION’ now 55 years after it got released in 1968.

This is the undeniable QUALITY SIDE of Northern Soul, a record originating from America’s Deep Southern state of Tennessee becoming a MONSTER allnighter dancefloor tune in UK , having started at the Soul clubs of England’s grey Northern part and reaching ‘cult status’ by touching the hearts and kicking the feet of a whole generation of ‘underground soulies’.

The record also became a timeless classic here on European ‘mainland’ after being heard first on those legendary ‘Rare Soul Uncovered’ and ‘Up All Night’ Northern Soul compilations which, besides the Kent LPs and Northern Soul stories, made way for a ‘Soul scene’ over here.

The copy on offer here could propably be the BEST CONDITION one in the world, propably never seen a needle, there can only be ONE person having the privilege to OWN it, so we’d think the price is actually CHEAP, this is one to lock away for 10 years and then sell for 5000 UKP, there’s so many records not as good and rare as this one which are selling for more.
