Franklin Street/ I Won't Give Him Up

The A side of this obscure Dora Hall single is an interesting case — from the way it begins, you'd swear it was headed toward being Chuck Berry tribute, with a spot-on rendition of Berry's guitar lick from "Johnny B. Goode." But then it morphs into an Orlons-style dance number that kicks a completely different groove. The B side is another fine uptempo Northern Soul-style dancer. This single is one of those odd cases with a different catalog number on each side. Here, the B side is listed as Calamo 1009.  Note: This copy comes in a vintage, very cool Calamo Records factory sleeve.
