MAXINE BROWN - AM I FALLING IN LOVE ( H.M.V. 1102 )
MAXINE BROWN - PROMISE ME ANYTHING ( BUT GIVE ME LOVE )( HIS MASTER'S VOICE 45-POP 1102 )

Without question one of THE most difficult of all the British release Northern Soul 45s to acquire.
This copy is not only in vinyl-dreamland condition it also carries on the flipside label a red and white sticker reading:
"DELETED - "This Record Is "Very Valuable" because it is not longer obtainable. Therefore return it to library immediately finished with" LIBRARIAN.
The sticker alone, is so quirky in fact a conversation piece - as we feel the Library may have had a better chance of it being returned if it had read:
"New York's Soul Diva's 2nd. British release, we doubt you'd like it, as you're probably infatuated with the Beatles! Please return for filing"
50 years on, it's now broke surface in more or less the same condition the mysterious library received it in.
One hell of a NS tune from a Queen of Northern Soul.
