The Cavaliers – Ooh It Hurts Me b/w Willie Kendrick – Time Changes Things – Kent Pied Piper 7″

The Pied Piper tapes continue to turn up Soul surprises. Here we have the final mix of the Cavaliers’ ‘Ooh It Hurts Me’. It features a percussion track by Jack Ashford that was missing from the version released by Kent in the 90s (and on a recent 45 by another company). The extra punch on the rhythm gives it energy and a new direction. The flip is Willie Kendrick’s terrific ‘Time Changes Things’ which was on the first Pied Piper CD and improves on the Metros’ more staid reading of the song
