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.
