A big ticket item by Smoke Inc. on original vinyl which has been known in modern soul circles for many years. A copy will set you back over two grand as it was a limited private press. There are only five listed on Popsike.
The main side "Waitin' For Love" was featured on a Mr Bongo compilation "With Love: Vol. 1 (Compiled by Miche)" last year (Sep '22). The flip "It's the Same Old Song" is a cover of the Four Tops 1965 song.
It's the first 7" from a new series from Mr Bongo in partnership with Miche, available on vinyl from Bandcamp.
Smoke, Inc. were Roy Schmall (vocals/keys), Stan Terry (lead vocals/harmonica), Michael 'Ollie' Schotka (vocals /bass), Keith Stafford (vocals/drums) and Archie Williams Jr (guitar). A little titbit, Stafford co-wrote Life's Northern Soul biggie "Tell Me Why"
They released another single the same year before this one "Ain't That Nothin'" / "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby". Again the flip was a cover, of the Hayes & Porter written, Sam & Dave hit in 1966. In 1982 they released a four track self-titled EP on 12".
