SPOT & THE BLOTTERS Circulating / Soul Circle KILLER FUNK

Very rare and in demand original late 60's US Northern (Michigan) soul / funk single by Spot & the Blotters. See scan.

The b-side (Soul circle) stands out: soaring funk groove instrumental composition of the "Circulating" track with prominent organ groove, strong bass line, a busy horn section, and nice wah-wah funky guitar sound, all interwoven and building to this climatic crescendo, that suddenly drops off to the thin sound of just a 'bongo/conga' soloing with basic guitar chords and simple drums till the end. KILLER !!!

Information gleaned from blogs indicate Spot and the Blotters played the West Michigan circuit, but may have originated from Chicago. 'Spot' was a travelling stand-up comedian who somehow got incorporated into the Blotters act. Their name originated from the fact that Spot was black and the Blotters were white. P.J. Spice, who receives a production credit on the 45, is in fact a pseudonym of Palmer James, of Al Greene/People's Choice (Wood City) fame. The Spot & the Blotters single was recorded on a whim, two days after Palmer saw the group play live in Grand Rapids. This is an unbelievable funk/soul rarity that 'has to be heard' to understand just how good it is!
