For the latest release on Soul7, few could argue that we haven't kept our part of the bargain as we bring you a reissue of Walter Wilson's awesome two-sider from the Wand catalogue. A real lost gem of mid-60's soul, the single gives us a Northern dancer from the very tip-toppest shelf on the 'A' and a real beauty of a mid-tempo ballad on the flip.
Why the single is so scarce is anyone's guess. Wand was a large and prolific independent and though it is common to find obscure titles on such labels - records which perhaps had one promo run and were then canned - rarities of this magnitude are unusual full stop. What we do know is that you could likely count the known copies of the original on one hand and that the last (perhaps the only?) to go through at online auction fetched a healthy figure of over $6000 (yes, six thousand US dollars).
Of course, such glaring figures make interesting reading but it’s no use if the record doesn't hold up musically. Have a listen below, and we think you'll agree that Walter Wilson's two fine 60's soul sides hold up perfectly. |
