Bobby Garrett – My Little Girl / The Bob & Earl Band – My Little Girl 45 (Mirwood) 7″ Vinyl

What is Northern Soul? Well, you could start with the pounding, but vocally-restrained, soul of Bobby Garrett’s ‘My Little Girl’ as a prime example. When the UK’s Jay Boy issued the instrumental version from the two-track master tape in 1972, Northern Soul kids who craved instrumentals were in ecstasy.

At last, the two are coupled and issued on the famed Mirwood imprint – just as they should be. – Ace Records
