Barbara Lewis [1970] - The Stars [Enterprise #ENS 1006]


This was an album only track until it was released on Ady Croasdell's Horace's label in 1991 (Ady's nickname was Harboro Horace, hence the label name) with the glorious Carla Thomas 'I'll Never Stop Loving You' on the flip. It has also been reissued on Sundae Soul as their first release in 2005.

The track was featured on 'The Many Grooves Of Barbara Lewis' album in 1970 and was written by Don Mancha using the pseodonym Don Juan (Juan being his middle name).

The 1991 Horace's reissue 45 now fetches almost three times more money than the original album in the crazy world of Northern Soul. 

The Carla Thomas track on the flip has been issued five times, twice in 1991 (Kent 6Ts anniversary single & Horace's), 2003 (Kent), 2009 (Kent) & 2017 (Stax). It first appears on a 1991 Carla Thomas Stax compilation CD 'Hidden Gems'.
