💎 Description 💎
An amazing FLAWLESS archive mint copy! Utter perfection.
The highly honed male quintet made up of Elijah Jones, Al Stroman, Joe Anderson, Barry Higginbotham, James Gost, James "Big Jim" Gist and Greg Jamerson eventually forming the foundations for the successful Salsoul gathering of "Instant Funk".
Back in 1968 they served up two such delicious vocal-group-harmony Northern Soul cruisers, that we are struggling to choose which side to lead with, both sides give me chills...
Two clean labels, of Newark New Jersey skyline, other than the flipside credits being highlighted in pink, indicating that even the composer "Lucky Lou Henderson" couldn't decide which side to lead with either.
My preference after lengthy deliberation, is "I Didn't Know" I think the classy intro arrangement mix of vibes, cymbals carry those impeccable soaring voices seamlessly as their harmonious session, subtly blessed with a rich baritone enriching the seamless flow. Absolutely top-draw vocal-group Northern Soul stepper of the highest order. Delicately delivery whilst still making your feet itch, to move. QUALITY!
Our chosen backup side "She's Not Ready", is saturated in the same harmony know-how as "Didn't Know" just a tad edgier, as the group display some frustration at the subject girl, is not ready for the level of "love" they want to give her.
One side a classy Northern Soul stepper, the flip is for laid-back soulful excellence... a full group harmony stroller of the highest order.
PS. The acronym T.N.J.'s stands for TRENTON NEW JERSEY the group's home town.
