Tryin' To Get To You/ My Baby's Soul Good

On this great Bubblegum record, the A side mines psych-rock for the fuzz guitar and Northern Soul for the frantic pace, while the flip sounds very much like something Tommy James & the Shondells would have recorded. (Check out the mp3 snippet.) Some Northern Soul collectors categorize the A side as one of their own based on the beat alone, psych-rock guitar be damned. But the whole endeavor is bought to you by Kasenetz-Katz Assoc., so the Bubblegum lineage is clear. It's just a great example of where Bubblegum sometimes strays into Northern Soul territory, because like Northern Soul, Bubblegum is at its heart designed for dancing. Note: This beautiful promo copy comes in a vintage Buddah Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint labels and audio, and the vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched.
