The Differences [1971] - Five Minutes / That Was The Day [Mon'ca #M 1783]

A group formed by Ronnie Dyson's brother Clifton who released this solitary 45 on Mon'ca in 1971. 

It's an in-demand double-sider, both sides written by Clifton Dyson. 'Five Minutes' has been a crossover favourite on UK scene for decades, and, to make matters worse for collectors/DJs, 'That Was The Day' is a Lowrider sweet soul favourite, so there is always loads of competition when one of these comes up for sale driving the price to around £1,500 these days.

This 45 is listed with another five on the Washington D.C. label but I'm not entirley sure if it is the same label as the logo is different from all the others on the label, but the cat. no. does seem to follow the correct sequence.

Clifton Dyson went on to form Dyson's Faces who released (confusingly) two self-titled albums, the first in 1975 followed by the second in 1977. It is claimed that one of the Differences members, Jerome Saunders, joined Family Circle which was originally five members of the Simmons family, David, Charles, James, Don and Mary.
