Spooky and intense, this is a song that will definitely grow on you. The flip is an uptempo RnB number. No one seems to know when this rare 45 was released, but like the other single on Upset (0001), I'm guessing early 1960s. As far as I can determine, Galloway had only one other vinyl release — a 1958 45 record. Upset was a small New York City label. Note: This 45 is among those in the Neal collection that she may have actually played, and which likely spent some of their life outside a protective sleeve. Like most of the 45s in this category, this record has Near Mint labels with light storage wear. The vinyl grades a strong EX in appearance, with some notable scuffs on the A side. The audio also grades a strong EX, reflecting light surface noise that's audible during the track. The music itself is strong and undistorted.","brand":"Pearl Galloway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48516170055913,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/pearlgalloway1.jpg?v=1752216339"},{"product_id":"genie","title":"Genie \/ I Need You Like A Baby","description":"In addition to the A side classic, this reissue of Andrea Henry's signature tune offers an apparently previously-unreleased — and instantly lovable — instrumental, Northern Soul-style dancer on the B side. Credited to \"The Groovesville Men,\" the label doesn't offer any details about the recording (year, producer,etc) except the writer credits. If this is actually a rare George Clinton track, probably recorded in the studio but never released, that's pretty cool. It's a wonderful recording whatever its origins, but since the reissue uses a reproduction Groovesville label, and since Groovesville was one of those \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.seabear.se\/Detroit2.htm\" target=\"_new\"\u003eDetroit labels like Ric Tic and Golden World\u003c\/a\u003e where studios sometimes \"borrowed\" Motown's core studio band, and since Clinton was then recording on Revilot, another of those Detroit labels, it does make some sense that this might be Groovesville's \"house\" band (i.e., Detroit's \"house band\") just  improvising a great one! I don't have time to do anything more than I've done in searching for info on the web, but if I find out more at some point, I'll try to remember to update this listing! :-) Like all the 45s in this outstanding U.K. reissue series, this single has a large (U.S.-style) spindle hole!","brand":"The Groovesville Men","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48516175757545,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/Classic45s-Generic-Record_1062c8bc-9e1c-4ee2-a53d-47389c5f36ce.webp?v=1755805878"},{"product_id":"just-like-you-did-me","title":"Just Like You Did Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Sonbert 5842.
