Top Shelf [1971] - You're Hurting Me [Spectrum #SPEC 124] & Discography


It's interesting and intriguing how records connect and intertwine as I posted Finishing Touch discography a few days ago and have found this track by Top Shelf who are connected by the writer Andre Saunders who wrote this track and also 'Second Best (Is Never Enough)' for Finishing Touch.

For some reason this song reminds me a lot of Debbie Taylor & The Hesitations 'All That I Have'.

It certainly is a 'top shelf' deep soul tune recorded in 1971 on Spectrum, who released another superb deep soul cut by Northern Soul 'stalwart' Hoagy Lands with 'Reminisce' a year later on SPEC 129, a better deep soul record you will struggle to find! Previously posted here.

As far as I can ascertain Top Shelf released only 3 singles between 1969 and 1971, but all of them are well worth watching out for.
