💎 Description 💎
A rare original.
One of the huge instrumental tunes to ignite the Northern Soul circuit from 1975 to '77. But was mercilessly bootlegged, when an ugly plain black and white label press hit the NS market, no RED circle or bar.
Here is the seldom seen, highly desirable authentic '66 first press of the now instantly recognisable New Orleans "Par Lo" label, who made their biggest impact being Aaron Neville launchpad from 1966 thru '67 with Aaron's sublime "Tell It Like It Is" being their biggest seller.
Accomplished New Orleans lyricist & guitar master George Richard Davis jr. was first choice for Allen Toussaint, Wardell Querzerque, Aaron Neville session, collaborates with Jazz saxophonist Alvin "Red" Tyler renowned session player and arranger.
What a combination, no wonder it created one one the most vibrant Northern Soul instrumentals of all time. Simultaneously a hugely popular dancefloor at both Blackpool Mecca, Wigan Casino & Cleethorpes Pier, but today surprisingly seldom featuring in those now predictable NS oldies sets of today, as sadly "Top 500" dominates the "tunnel vision turntable" choices.
Which I'm sure you'll think, that crazy, when you click the soundfile discharging diverse but irresistible Jazz/Northern Soul from an era when Jazz instrumental dancers were an integral part of a DJ's set, remember King Errison's "Zola" from the same time period or if you were soul-clubbing in 1966 Cal Tjader's "Soul Source" would have been still ringing in your brain long after a Saturday night was over.
For me "Hold On Help Is On The Way" is the finest examples of this style, electrifying 60's NS dance jazz, screaming REVIVE me! The sooner the better..
First coming to the notice of Soul collectors as part of the Aaron Neville - Tell It Like It Is - LP with George Davis writing fully 9 of the 11 tracks. But it was a long time after when the elusive 45 started to hit the Northern Soul turntables as a 45, igniting the most spectacular of gymnastic NS dance... from the crowds.
The flipside is a gorgeously simplistic instrumental based on Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is" that everyone needs to hear..
