The first of two new 7" vinyl reissues on Outta Sight which must be aimed at new Northern Soul collectors as anyone who's been into NS for any length of time must surely have these in their collections already in some format?
A stalwart tune from the very early days of The Twisted Wheel is this evergreen from Garnet Mimms with "Looking For You" paired with another track off the 1966 "Warm And Soulful" album on United Artists, "As Long As I Have You". Both were also released as singles before the album release in 1966 (Discogs is a year out as 45Cat lists "Looking For You" as Oct 1965) and neither charted not even on the R&B chart.
I nearly spat out my coffee when I looked up the value of "As Long As I Have You" as they have sold on Discogs for 4 figures with a top price of nearly £1,300, with "Looking For You" weighing in with a top price of a 'measly' £200. The former was only ever released as a single in France which would explain why it never charted in US.
