Cavaliers – Ooh It Hurts Me / Willie Kendrick – Time Changes Things 45 (Pied Piper) 7″ Vinyl

The Pied Piper tapes continue to turn up soul surprises. Here we have the final mix of the Cavaliers’ ‘Ooh It Hurts Me’. It features a percussion track by Jack Ashford that was missing from the version released by us in the 90s (and on a recent 45 by another company). The extra punch on the rhythm gives it energy and a new direction. The flip is Willie Kendrick’s terrific ‘Time Changes Things’ which was on our first Pied Piper CD and improves on the Metros’ more staid reading of the song.
