The second release by Preservation Project in 2017, also sold out, but at time of posting there are 25 available on Discogs ranging from $12-$65!
I can reveal after some digging that the previously unknown artist appears to be a group called The Karamatics, unless this is a made up name used to market it, as it is now available for download on Amazon.
The other side is a deep funk instrumental called 'One Word For It' by Rose Hicks which I have chosen not to embed but click title link if you want to hear it.
Here's a cracking new release. Two superb soul sides by an unknown artist released by Preservation Project.
The A side 'Suddenly' is very similar to Newsounds 1974 outing on Chicago's Mod-Art label, 'Bet You Never Thought About It' with the backing track sounding almost identical, so perhaps a clue to it's origin there?
The B side 'Just Another' is a soulful ballad that the Lowriders will love, which in fact, doesn't sound too disimilar to the flip side of Newsounds 'Just One Time', although the vocals are higher on Newsounds. Perhaps this was an unreleased demo of Newsounds?
The writers of both sides of Newsounds 45 were E. Phillips and H. Cope who unfortunately aren't credited with any other songs on Discogs which may have given a hint to the artist.
It only seems to be available direct from the label at present for $12 + postage (click image below).
UPDATE - sorry this appears to be sold out already (only released on 8 Jan 2021 not even 3 weeks ago) and isn't available digitally so dig deep in your pockets and try and find one Discogs for at least triple the price! ... as I thought someone is selling one on Discogs for £75 already. With a bit of luck you may be able to source one from one of the well known UK dealers e.g. Crazy Beat, Soul Brother or Simply Soul.
NB both tracks are included in the YT link, but with lo-fi sound quality.
