💎 Description 💎
One of the most wanted 45s in the global soul collecting community at the moment, because of 3 factors.
It has for decades been regarded as a fabulous girl-group dancer within Northern Soul circles; it has only been this century bubbling to the top of play lists... but mostly it is the flipside "What You Gonna Do" a stone-killer harmony cruiser that is causing seismic scrambles for ownership across the net as the soulful harmony jocks worldwide sit it at the summit of their wants.
Both sides of course are fabulous recordings, in what ever genre you choose play. Incredibly soulful and brilliantly produced by label owner Kevin Knox. "No Explanation" is punchy girl-group Northern Soul; "What You Gonna Do" is gliding smooth soulful harmony stroller, benefitting from a sympathetic guitar and drum backing with th "Jobettes" filling in the space with standout vocal-group harmony supporting an oh-so expressive lead voice. "not" Northern Soul but always held in high regard as a superior ballad.
Then the "Lowrider" style exploded worldwide and "The Jobettes" was nowhere to be found to fill the huge demand for its charms.
Then there's the other deciding rarity factor of Berry Gordy's "lookouts" spotting Kevin Knox's girl group name "The Jobettes" infringed his publishing company's identity - Jobette Music - Berry Gordy an injunction followed. Kevin Knox subsequently withdrew the USA copies and changed the group's name to "Dorales", at which point they embarked on a long tour of the Caribbean, a Jamaican issue ensued of "No Explanation" and this was indeed credited to Dorales. That West Indies variation is insanely rare!
This copy is immaculate discovered by fluke during a back of warehouse dig, hidden for decades we presume.
Two glorious girl-group triumphs - the group's only ever 45.
