Bernetia Miller & The Soul Groovers Band [2023] - You Can Tell Me Goodby / I've Gotta Keep on Lovin' You [Athens Of The North]

A one-off, private press rarity out of Georgia by Bernetia Miller & The Soul Groovers Band "You Can Tell Me Goodby / I've Gotta Keep on Lovin' You" is being reissued digitally by Athens Of The North on 28 Jul (NB there is no indication as to whether it will be made available on vinyl as yet).

Originally released in 1970 on Soul Groover Records this raw/'naive' piece is what many rare soul collectors love. The songs were recorded at Capricorn Records studio in Macon, GA, in 1970 and custom pressed at Sound Of Nashville (i.e. matrix nos SoN 88411/88412).

AOTN's Euan Fryer has licensed the master tapes directly from Bernetia Miller from Hawksville, GA, who wrote both songs, is still singing and has retained the tapes to this day.

Whilst only one has ever sold on Discogs for £924 in Feb 2017, there are five listed on Popsike with the latest copy selling from £2,015 in Apr 2021. NOTE, the label scan on three look identical so whether the same copy has sold three times or the sellers have 'borrowed' the label scan from the same place we don't know.
