Fontella Bass C/w Dave Baby Cortez
How Glad I Am C/w Rinky Dink
Are you a Brit-Soul vinyl collecting completest? Here is a unique UK 7" - Pye International studio acetate of two USA Chess recordings back to back.
Topside, is so very highly desirable, as it never received UK or USA release as a single. Fontella flexes her vocals on a delicious jazzy soul version of "How Glad I Am" this recording was only issued as a track on the lady's incredibly rare album UK Chess 4517 gold logo "The New Look".
Flip it over for a 1962 MOD hammond dance classic! So classic in 1964 British group the Johnny Howard Band did a fine cover version - in the wake of Dave Baby Cortez's all-night-club popularity.
There is no need for us to underline this acetates exclusivity - we believe it is most likely unique and looks so darn beautiful too.
