BLACK MOTHER GOOSE / CHASE THOSE CLOUDS AWAY

This killer double-sider was one of the first US imports to go "big" on the rare soul scene at the Twisted Wheel and Blackpool Mecca in the early 70s. Soul guru Dave Godin championed the record and had planned to release it on his fledgling 444 label, but it only got as far as the test pressing stage. The catchy dancer A-side was the one that got played, but much later the Modern Soul scene picked up on the beautiful mid-tempo soul of 'Chase Those Clouds Away' and demand for the disc virtually doubled.
