Sandra Wright [2023] - I Come Running Back / I'm Not Strong Enough (Wounded Woman LP) [Shotgun Records #SHOT 118] (Full Album)

Following their last release of Randolph Brown & Company (i.e. Randy Brown) in March '22, Paul Mooney's Selrec has just announced four forthcoming releases on the Shotgun imprint due in Aug to Oct.

The first, SHOT 117 due on 18 Aug, is billed as Herb Rooney "Curse The Brother" c/w Brenda Rooney "Moving Day" (sampled by Brand Nubian on Love Vs Hate in 1998). We've not received sound clips so don't know for sure whether these are alternate versions of both songs released by The Exciters on their self-titled album on an obscure New York tax scam label Tomorrow in 1977. Needless to say it's a hard one to find with only one currently for sale on Discogs priced at £120. It was also released on Sylvia Robinson's Vibration label.

Therefore, we'll skip to the next release which is actually a reissue on the label for Sandra Wright's modern soul anthem "I Come Running Back" as they released it in 2011 (it was also reissued by Outta Sight in 2019). This time though it has a different flip "I'm Not Strong Enough To Love You Again", the 2011 release had "Please Don't Say Good-bye".

There is an unfortunate back story to Sandra Wright. She released two singles on Stax imprint Truth in 1974 and recorded a full album "Wounded Woman" but as Stax was in financial difficulty around the time the album never saw the light of day until many years later when UK's Demon released it in 1989. Both sides are taken from this album.

Prior to her two singles on Truth in 1974-75, she released two singles on Coral in 1968. In 1985 she released a version of a blues song written by Ted Jarrett '(It's Love Baby) 24 Hours A Day', recorded by many other artists. Apart from these singles and the 'Wounded Woman' album the only other release, apart from reissues, was an album of jazz standards in 2003 'After Hours featuring Big Joe Burrell'

The release is a way off yet, scheduled for 15 Sep, therefore, we have decided to post the full "Wounded Woman" album as it's a superb album and was reissued digitally in Apr 2015 by Passion Music and is still available. You'd expect to pay around £100 or more for a near mint vinyl copy on Demon.
