Groovesville Players / Al Kent Orchestra [2023] - Don't Hurt Me / The Way You've Been Acting Lately [Hayley #HR033]


The second delayed release from Hayley Records are both unreleased instrumentals of Northern Soul classics. 

The A side leads with the backing track of J.J. Barnes' "Sweet Sherry" (also used for an unreleased Edwin Starr recording, "Has It Happened To You Yet", which surfaced on Goldmine Soul Supply on 7" in 1997) credited to Groovesville Players under it's original title "Don't Hurt Me". Note that a song with the title "Has It Happened To You Yet" was recorded by The Falcons on Lu Pine in 1964 which is a different song.

The flip is the instrumental backing track for Al Kent's "The Way You've Been Acting Lately" which was originally on the flip side of the vocal but this is an unreleased version with a false start and no backing singers. 

There is a female version floating around YouTube which shows a photo of The Supremes but it was a Neil Ruston release on his Inferno Soul Club label from 1983 by Tina Lewis which has a cover version of Edwin Starr's "Back Street" as the A side.

Available now from Rob Moss' Hayley Records.
