“After scouring record shops, markets and the internet for the best music for our sets we became increasingly frustrated at the cost and poor quality of the records that we wanted to play out. Whilst being happy to use digital alternatives in their place, good quality WAVs for some of the more obscure tracks became near impossible to find. So from day one we began to make a list of all the tracks we played out that were unobtainable on vinyl and those we could only have dreamt of playing that it seemed were lost to time. This list became the bedrock for Deptford Northern Soul Club Records, and with the help of Northern fans up and down the UK it grew to the point where we began searching for the rights and the highest quality audio to reissue. We are so excited to begin sharing releases soon. KTF!” Will and Lewis, 2019
DNSCR028 - Lucille Mathis - I’m Not Your Regular Women/ Holly St. James - That’s Not Love
Lucille Mathis was a two-release mystery on the Abet label back in 1968.‘I’m Not Your Regular Women’ is a girl power anthem that was way ahead of its time.
The flipside of ‘Am I Asking Too Much’; it’s a stormer powered by roll-heavy drums and some great brass stings that goes for around £300 these days.
Cut with one of three singles by Holly St James (real name Lorraine Di Bonaventura) that also arrived in ’68.
‘That’s Not love’ is an enormous echoey Spector-esque wall-of-sound hat broods with incisive string chops and Holly’s groovy mid-‘60s vocal, a soul eruption that simmers with emotion.
A £40 price tag for the original.
Both sides remastered for dance floor penetration.
