Walter Jackson [1973] - Let Me Come Back [Brunswick #55502]

Walter Jackson was signed to Columbia in 1962. After a few releases on the main label he was switched to the OKeh subsidiary in 1964. His best three sides on the label were his Northern Soul favourite "Where Have All The Flowers Gone", the haunting "It's An Uphill Climb To The Bottom" and his rendition of the Jimmy Radcliffe's "My Ship Is Comin' In" (also done by The Walker Brothers before Jackson recorded it). 

He released a couple of singles on Epic before moving to Cotillion for another two, then a couple of one-off releases on USA and Wand. Two more singles were released on Brunswick in 1973, the second of which is the featured tune, a modern soul track "Let Me Come Back" on the flip side of "It Doesn't Take Much". Original copies are now selling for around £100 but it is being reissued next month by Outta Sight with Wales Wallace "Somebody I Know" on the flip.

In 1976 he joined Chi-Sound, releasing around half a dozen singles until 1979 before re-joining Columbia in 1981 for another two singles. Finally, he released two singles on Bluebird in 1982 and 1983 before his passing in 1983.

In those two decades, although doing a lot of covers, he left us with a fine legacy of music, around 40 singles and 8 albums. I've put together a playlist below of what I consider to be his best recordings.
