I'm not deliberately trying to confuse you, honest, but the last post
by a different group with the same name reminded me of this superb
Northern Soul tune released in 1966 on Sound Stage 7. (ignore the Spanish guitar intro as it turns into a driving 60's dancer)
The Fantastics were a quartet from Houston, TX, and
consisted of Jethro Caldwell, Willie Parnell, Eddie Webb and Bobby
Williams.
"Me And You" was their third single of four and second on Sound Stage 7, although
the first two were the same songs, originally released on local Copa
label and then again on Sound Stage 7. Discogs has another listed for
them but I'm pretty sure it's not the same band as it's a Spanish
instrumental.
The official A side (going by matrix nos.) is "Have A Little Faith" which has a bit of a swing like many Chicago tunes of the time.
Their last listed single is "Where There's A Will (There's A Way)" on Impresario which is a great crossover tune and is a pricey item with
only one ever selling on Discogs in 2018 for £1,200 and a promo currently
listed for just over £2k ($2,500)!
There are only a handful of singles released by Impresario which was
another Texas label, probably Houston?. The ones that are dated are from
1971, and the cat. no. on this is lower, so possibly released 1970?
I'll post it separately.
