Heart-Soul & Inspiration [2023] - I'm Gonna Love You More Pt 1 & Pt 2 [Izipho Soul #ZP98]

The second release from Izipho Soul due out on Friday is a sensual re-imagining of Barry White's "I'm Gonna Love You More" by 70s L.A. trio Heart-Soul & Inspiration who comprised Jimmy Soul (bass), Ron Carr (guitar) and Vince Howard (drums).

The sensual moans are provided by Martha Sims which makes Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby" (which was banned from UK radio) sound like a nursery rhyme!

The group released a solitary self-titled album on Viscojon Records in 1974 which consisted of predominantly Barry White covers (one of Bill Withers') and followed it in 1975 with a single comprising of tracks not on the album. However, they were included as additional tracks on a Numero Group digital reissue of the album in 2018 and as a bonus 7" on a limited edition (100 copies) vinyl reissue of the album by Tidal Waves Music (Light In The Attic) in Jun this year.

The album track is 10:56 long which Izipho Soul has split into 5:30 parts at 33⅓ RPM over two sides.

Strictly limited edition, one copy per customer, and available to pre-order now from Izipho Soul for release on Friday (22 Sep).

Dwayne Scivally [2023] - Point Of No Return / So Good [Izipho Soul #ZP97]

At the end of last year Dwayne Scivally released his second, Thomas Gee produced, album "Soul Chapter II". Both albums ("Soul Of Nashville" and "Soul Chapter II") were initially only available on vinyl but in March this year they were combined on a CD release.

Izipho Soul selected a track from each ("Let Me So" / "Is It Me") for 7" vinyl release in April. They have now chosen two tracks ("Point Of No Return" and "So Good") from his first album "Stay Until the Morning" which was released in 2016 and is now as rare as hen's teeth.

The limited edition single is available to pre-order from Izipho Soul for release on Friday (22 Sep). An essential purchase (if you don't own the album) as just try finding the album on the interweb!

In addition, Thomas Gee has announced a third album he has arranged and produced for Dwayne which will be available soon on CD. We are awaiting further details and will post in due course.

Spencer Wiggins [2023] - Holding On To A Dying Love / I'm At The Breaking Point + Let’s Talk It Over [Hit And Run#HR 1555]

The second of two vinyl releases from Hit And Run contains three tracks from Spencer Winnins' Fame period. It covers several bases, a southern soul deep cut, a crossover soul and one for the Northern Soulies.

"Let's Talk It Over" is an unreleased Goldwax recording which gained a release in 2009 on Kent Select having been released on Torch and Soul Series around 1996. The song first saw the light of day on a 1991 Japanese compilation CD "Goldwax Collection" released by Vivid Sound who had licensed Goldwax recordings for release. It transpires that this song (as well as others) had been sold to Fame but were inadvertently included. The Kent Select one is the only one 'properly' licensed. In addition the Torch release is a different mix with an organ (listen @ 0:13 and again @ 1:26 below).

The crossover track "I'm At The Breaking Point" is another unreleased recording from 1969 (not the Brad Lundy song of the same name also recorded by Deena Johnson). It was also first released on Kent Select as a single in 2011 having been included on Kent's Spencer Wiggins compilation "Feed The Flame - The Fame And XL Recordings" CD. The flip is a cover of Bettye Swann's "Make Me Yours".

Finally the A side, "Holding On To A Dying Love", was previously unreleased until it featured on Kent's "Feed The Flame - The Fame And XL Recordings" in 2010 which also includes both of the B side songs. It was also recorded by Otis Clay, an album only track from on "Trying To Live My Life Without You" in 1972 on Hi.

Wiggins left secular music in 1973 leaving his birth town Memphis for Miami and became a deacon and choir director at the New Birth Baptist Church. He died in Feb '23 aged 81

The Moovers [2023] - One Little Dance + Someone To Fulfill My Needs / I Love You Baby [Hit And Run #HR 1554]

Two new vinyl releases this week from Garry J Cape's Hit And Run label. The first consists of all three released recordings by Miami group The Moovers.

All songs were released on Johnny Pearsall and Willie Clarke's Deep City, "One Little Dance" / "Someone To Fulfill My Needs" in 1966 and "I Love You Baby" flipped with "One Little Dance" (also released on Brent) in 1967.

They were included on a Numero Group label compilation "Eccentric Soul: Deep City Label" in 2006 along with an instrumental version of "I Love You Baby" and an unreleased acetate recording of "Darling I'll Go" vocal and instrumental.

Pearsall and Clarke are evident on writing credits for the songs along with Clarence 'Blowfly' Reid on the second track and Arnold Albury on the third. Deep City was Miami's first black owned record company and was the forerunner to T.K..

If you wondered what happened to the group, they changed their name to The Prolifics and released a single "If Only I Could Fly" (a deep soul cut) on Drive in 1968 which was released with two different B sides: "Keep On Raining Rain" (similar feel to Temptations "I Wish It Would Rain") and "I Don’t Need No Help" which is a hard one to find.

In the 70s they recorded two Paul Kelly songs as Living Proof "Movie Queen" / "Visions Of You (Dancin' In My Mind)" released on United Artists in 1979.
