Forthcoming later this month (March 2021) from Mark Bicknell's Big Man records is a
Northern Soul two sider from Cleveland's Way Out catalogue licenced from
Numero Group.
The Sensations [1969] - Demanding Man [Way Out #2005]
This side has been previously issued as a single-sided 45 by Hip City
Soul Club, Berlin as their 15th anniversary single in 2005 and also
digitally by Numero Group (available on
BandCamp), but is commercially available for the first time on vinyl 7" since
it's release in 1969. An original is valued at approx.
£2,500.
This is 'proper' Northern Soul written by group members John Washington
and Rod Simmons.
Jesse Fisher [1971] - You're Not Loving A Beginner [Way Out #W104]
The other side came out twice on Way Out with slightly different
versions, a white label with red text (harder to find) and a multi-coloured (pink, orange, white) label which seems a bit of a smoother/fuller mix. I'm not
entirely sure which mix is being reissued, but both are good. The
record was originally played at the Blackpool Mecca on release. It was
arranged by legendary Detroit arranger/producer Mike Terry who had a hand
in many a Northern Soul classic.
