A small D.I.Y. street level enterprise, an imprint headed up by Charles H. Barner, Jr. who described his style of sound as "Unconquerable".

I'd describe it as a local label, offering an opportunity to neighborhood soul hopefuls, a chance of making a hit-record. It was sadly this sweet girl's only as single release; even though both sides are crammed with potential. The equally obscure "Sam Bing" write the lead side, fittingly pairing it up with an authentic young-girl voice, benefitting from strong male-group choruses. Rufus Cannon's boys lift this simplistic but highly effective Northern Soul stroller to towards everything the rare-Northern Soul DJ hopes to

Hitting a few notes reminiscent of Dena Barnes, the slow paced guitar led arrangement being extra careful not to overwhelm her sweet, sweet vocal. Blessed with innocence and anticipation for better things ahead. She's got music in her empty lonely room, but she's yearns for the company and love of a boy. A familiar daydream so excellently delivered.

Same with the just as convincing flipside "Love For A Life Time" again flowing over with "Dena-esque" vibes, again brilliant supported by those restrained boy choruses.

Two fabulous street-level, sister mid-tempo grooves drenched in that under-the-street-lamp innocence we all love to encounter, small low-budget, really rare recordings for me, is the pinnacle of Northern Soul collecting. This disc just oozes real-deal soulfulness, which ever side you drop the arm on...

Big thumbs up from me, on all points!
Condition Report
Two rich blue full depth unfaded labels with crisp sharp silver text. The vinyl is a glorious full gloss mint minus.
