Vocal Soul / Funk from 1966 Repressed - Mr. Soul, the alias of Al Scott, delivers a stunning double-sider on Genuine Records.
A-side power soul banger 'You're Too Good' is pure magic with Scott's velvet vocals floating effortlessly over an up-tempo groove, crisp rhythm section and lush arrangements. It's a perfect weapon to get the floor in a sweat and on the flip, 'What Happened to Yesterday' slows things down. This one is a more aching ballad steeped in longing and emotional depth with subtle horns and strings and understated instrumentation framing Scott's heartfelt delivery beautifully. This is one of those perfect 45 rpms that elevates any collection.
