Description
RARE UK LABEL NORTHERN/MODERN SOUL
I'll be auctioning off a lot of UK label singles over the next year(s), all taken from my own large collection. I've decided to concentrate on collecting US releases, and only keep a few UK label records. Among them are some very collectable 45s indeed, so make sure you don't miss any.
JACKIE WILSON
"IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I LOOK AT YOU"
b/w
"JUST AS SOON AS THE FEELING'S OVER"
(UK: Brunswick BR 43, 1977)
Recorded: 1975
Record conditon: Excellent ++++
Labels condition: Spotless
Like another of my current sales items - The Dells "Your Song" - this is a minter, which I bought straight from the shop in 1977. If somebody had told me that it would become highly collectable nearly thirty years hence, I'd have laughed (and bought a few more copies). I shouldn't really be calling it mint, since I've played it quite a few times, but it really is totally immaculate in every detail. I'll grade it excellent ++++, to be on the safe side.
The song itself is possibly the best thing Jackie did in the 70s, though it's belated release came too late to help the unfortunate soul performer. It also proved to be the final release on UK Brunswick, a label which is full of good soul tunes.
Unfortunately, it was never released on single in the US, so searchers for it's original appearance (like me) will have to make do with his final LP, "Nobody But You".
As I said, this copy is stunning, and has two spotless labels. The edges are completely chip-free.
This record has been played on both sides to verify condition. It comes in my own personalized card cover. I'll also be incredibly generous, and throw in the original Brunswick cover!
