Chris Clark / The Temptations [2023] - Whenever I’m Without You / All I Need Is You To Love Me [Soul Essentials #SEV011]


Outta Sight dig up two previously unreleased Motown tracks from the "Motown Unreleased 1968 Part 2" compilation (2018) for release on 7" single. Frank Wilson is on writing credits for both songs.

The lead side is Chris Clark "Whenever I’m Without You" with only Paul Williams' voice on The Temptations' "All I Need Is You To Love Me".

I suppose this satisfies a certain element of the Northern Soul fraternity's obsession to play it as OVO (original vinyl only) since it has only been available on the 'forbidden' digital format until now (not even available on CD). Ironically, I bet someone has already been playing it off a 'carver' (i.e. vinyl pressing 'bootlegged' from digital format) which is perversely somehow 'acceptable'. Why you would pay more than the 'original' 38 track digital compilation (£10.99) for a vinyl 'reissue' (£13) is completely lost on me, but a case of 'you pays your money you takes your choice'. A complete misinterpretation of the intent of OVO in my book. The Strange World Of Northern Soul indeed!
