Oscar Perry & The Love Generators [1975] - I Got What You Need / Come On Home To Me [Peri-Tone #45-101674]


Played  as a new released on the Northern Soul scene in 1975. "I Got What You Need" by Oscar Perry & The Love Generators was (and still is) a huge sound. Another biggie by him around the same time was "Mainstring".

It's a great double-sider with the superb, mellow stepper, "Come On Home To Me" on the flip (sounding very like Walter Jackson on this track). It was also later released as the flip to "Gimme some" in 1976. Peri-Tone was Oscar Perry's own label on which he released seven singles between 1974/76.

His first recording was in 1962 and he'd released around a dozen singles on various labels, including Back Beat and Mercury, before setting up Peri-Tone in 1974. He released five albums, four in the 70s between 1977-79, and continued recording through the 80s with his last release a blues album in 1993. He passed in 2004 aged 61.
