Ed Nelson / Apples & 3 Oranges [1970/71] - I’ll Give You A Ring / True Love Will Never Die [Sagittarius #A-ONE / 12-5-1 / Izipho Soul #ZP60]

A forthcoming release on Patrick Bickerstaff's Izipho Soul, due 4 Mar 2021, consists of two sides both originally released on Ed Nelson's Sagittarius label out of L.A. which released 4 singles in 1970-71 by Nelson and Apples & Three (3) Oranges who he was a member of.

I'd advise you to pre-order now, if you're interested, as it is limited to 300 copies.

Another upcoming release (due the same date and limited to 300 copies) is a three track 45 from Richard Marks. There's not much point in me regurgitating the info here as it's all up on Izipho Soul with YT clips of all three tracks.

Ed Nelson [1970] - I’ll Give You A Ring (When I Come, If I Come) [Sagittarius #A-ONE]

Originally released in 1970 on Sagttarius. An original now sells for 4 figures. 

It featured on a 2013 album 'Free And Easy' from Now & Again records billed as Apple & Three Oranges, but I suspect it's the Ed Nelson version on the album.

Probably best described as soul group harmony / crossover.

Apple & The 3 Oranges [1971] - True Love Will Never Die [Sagittarius #12-5-1]

The Izipho Soul B side was originally released on Sagittarius in 1971 as the B side to 'Down Home Publicity'. The original sells for around £400-£500.

This is a deep soul harmony lowrider.
