The Original Drifters: Just Let Your Heart Be Your Guide (Sounds South)

This incarnation of the famous soul band was formed by Bill Pinkney recruiting an Atlanta group called The Teals, right before a European tour when original members left. On returning to the US The Teals broke with Pinkney and continued under the name of The Original Drifters. This 1978 recording is the only one by them and is a stomping dancer.

The Spaniels: Maybe (Buddah)

I used to play this record massively many years ago when I purchased a copy after listening to it somewhere. Recently I saw it in a list selling for £75 so I pick it up again, discovering that it still sounds very good. The Spaniels started their career in the '50s and had a long and successful career. This single is a one-off for Buddah and was recorded in 1969. At that time the group consisted of the great Pookie Hudson, Charles Douglas, Alvin Wheeler, Alvin Lloyd, and Pete Simmons.

Serena Johnson: All Work & No Play (Big 2)

This is the original version of Vivilore Jordan's Stafford classic on Task. The record comes from Memphis and has a strong Southern feeling, with deep vocals and a funky guitar pushing the song all over. A long time favourite of mine.
