The Georgettes [2022/1970] - Would You Rather / Hard, Hard [Numero Group/Yodi #1009/1010]

A digital reissue of a rare single by The Georgettes "Would You Rather" / "Hard, Hard" originally released in 1970 on Yodi which seem to sell between £200-£300 on original vinyl. 

The label was owned by Allen Merry who was a youth worker in East St. Louis. He brought kids together to form The Young Disciples to keep them off the streets and named the label after them i.e YoDi.

The Georgettes were a female trio born out of The Young Disciples. One of its members was Marsha Evans who went on to become a featured vocalist with Johnnie Johnson. This was their only single, although there are other groups with the same name who recorded in the 50s/60s.

This release has been reissued by the Numero Group, I believe on 24 Feb 2022 (as that's when it appeared on Amazon). The top side is a sweet soul harmony lowrider with the flip being a typical 60s Motown/Northern Soul style dancer.
