I Got A Sure Thing/ Girl, You Have My Heart Singing

This is a new, unplayed stock copy from the Louise Neal 45 Collection, in its original Atlantic-Atco Group factory sleeve. As good as the A side of this one is — it was their biggest hit on Stax — if you're feeling in a more uptempo, dancing mood, the B side is the one to beat: It's terrific Northern Soul from this very Southern Soul studio. It's Booker T. Jones showing he can do Northern Soul with the best of 'em, as well as his more standard Funky/Deep Soul style. Curiously, the A side did not appear on the group's 1969 Stax album (their one and only). Note: This beautiful copy's A label has an "X" inked on it, and both sides have very light storage wear. The vinyl looks untouched, and the grooves preserve pristine Mint sound.
