Little Tommy BABY CAN'T YOU SEE Northern SOUND OF SOUL SOUND OF SOUL 104
Little Tommy BABY CAN'T YOU SEE b/w I'M STILL HURT
NORTHERN SOUL from the legendary stable of Mister Wiggles (aka August Moon), who produced and co-wrote this amazing dance number.
(see the scans below)
The Sound Of Soul label, out of Richmond VA, was sparce on releases, but incredibly high in popularity, thanks in part to the efforts of the inexhaustable August Moon, who is also known by his earlier stage name of "Mr. Wiggles". He parlayed a few locally released singles into several reissues and lps, which still support him to this day from liscensing fees on sampled tracks and reissues worldwide. Moon has called me numerous times trying to get copies of this very record.... BABY CAN'T YOU SEE, because he dosen't even own one himself. He and I go back to the days when he was selling sealed Larry Saunders lps and Whole Darn Family lps for 50 cents each to get them gone from his warehouse. He didnt even WANT the singles then. Little did either of us know.....
That being said, it establishes this as one of the RAREST Northern Soul classics to come out of Richmond Virginia. Copies of "I'm Hurt" (SOS 100) turn up regularly, but (around here) even THOSE are usually trashed. This, the followup to "I'm Hurt", is the RAREST single on the label. It's far from perfect, but it's so rare, and such an incredibly fantastic record, it still warrants your attention.
The yellow paper labels are intact, but showing extensive wear, as can be seen in these photos. There is no writing on the labels. The labels are frequently found fallen off of S.O.S. records because of the polystyrene record, and Moon's insistance on using inexpensive paper (he was paying for it, remember). The red ink typeset is still very readable.
But, the most important thing is the record itself. From a visual standpoint, it would grade on the extreme low end of the scale. Maybe a G-. Heavy scuffs and wear . Listening to it, though, is a different story. It plays loud and strong, with crackles and pops .... but being polystyrene, it's RARE to find them in anything resembling playable condition. This one plays pretty good!!!!! That floor stompin' magic still jumps outta the grooves!
The minimum bid is only set low to encourage early bidding. If it dosent generate bids early enough, I reserve the right to pull it for an outright sale. (I have plenty of interested customers in the states).

A truly rare northern soul and garage record. It's a stunning, gorgeous copy. I haven't figured how to create a sound clip, and I'd love to list it WITH audio. But if I get a fantabulous offer, I may consider selling it outright. It's AWESOMELY RARE.
