Marcia Hines / Jackie Wilson Lost Soul & Funk Gems Volume 1

Kraft paper inner sleeve + Mukatsuku card sleeve + sticker + button badge + signed insert and housed in a plastic protective 7 inch outer sleeve. Mukatsuku dig deep in the crates for the inaugural volume of their new Lost Soul & Funk Gems vinyl only series which casts it's net across the globe to uncover some lesser known nuggets. Leading the way is the under played boogie funk soul disco masterpiece, ''You Gotta Let Go '' from Australian songstress Marcia Hines, originally released on her 1975 album Marcia Shines on Wizard Records. It's super rare on a 45 and copies on separate Australian & Spanish only 45's fetch several hundred pounds and that is when you can actually find a copy. On the flip a lesser known soul masterpiece of the much covered anthem "You Keep Me From Hanging On'' from US legendary performer Jackie Wilson. Tingles down the spine aplenty as Jackie's superb vocals nail this bonafide classic underpinned by a great big band arrangement and backing vocals. As far as we know this is the first time this version has ever been available as a single in its' own right.
