Description
When discovered just after its 1967 release "Get Ready" became the "clever" version to play for a while, only issued in France and the UK. Donnie was a British resident for a short while releasing this standout disc, that sold nearly nothing.
Donnie Elbert was already the voice of the MODS with "A Little Piece Of Leather" in huge demand across the country, as it filled dancefloors of the allnight Mod clubs of England. Twisted Wheel, Beachcomber, King Mojo, The Scene, The Tiles, Flamingo, etc etc. Donnie's Sue 45 was an ultimate prize, if you could find one.
Into Donnie's life steps, our often exalted Brit producer "Keith Mansfield". A man embedded in Soul music. It is obvious Mr. Mansfield was a "special" in his approach, when right from the intro he injects ringing vibes into The Temps much loved Motown classic, then a finale of a truly unforgettable savage sax. As good Donnie's version of "Get Ready" is ,upon hearing how dynamic "Get Ready" ...
The real prize here is not "Get Ready" it is the awesome flipside "Along Came Pride" a Ralph Murphy creation we cannot find another version of, and it's brilliant classic style Northern Soul, produced by Soho MOD Mervyn Conn and Donnie Elbert himself.
This is solid UK made Northern Soul decorated by searing Mansfield girl-group choruses, subtle saxophone prompts, impressive Northern Soul that has bubbled away for many decades without quite taking its surely belated place on the rare soul turntables.
Listen, we think you'll be utterly amaze-balled how damn good it is - A PROPER NORTHERN SOUL DANCER!!!
