Ike Perry / Kent Drake [2022] - Don't Turn Around / Mistaken [North Broad St Records #006BL]


A forthcoming single from Colin Law's North Broad St Records features an unreleased track by Ike Perry "Don't Turn Around" which was found on an unreleased acetate flipped with Kent Drake "Mistaken". 

"Mistaken" was co-written by Leaner (Lena) Thompson and Eva Dixon (who was related to Eugene Dixon aka Gene Chandler) and was destined for release on Wand but never made it. However, the song was recorded by The Impressions in 1979 as "Maybe I'm Mistaken" on a single and also on their album "Come To My Party".


Kent Drake's best and well know recording is this 1971 outing on Wand "Boss Thing Together" which was also written by Thompson and Dixon and produced by Gene Chandler and is one of only three listed recordings by him. His first was on Jubilee in 1961 followed by this one and his final one in 1975 on SMI.
