Up for bids is the EXTREMELY RARE Northern Soul single “Sweet Lover” b/w “My Dreams of You” by Fortson & Scott, c1968, on the Pzazz Label!
This single is one of only two recordings ever released by Fortson & Scott together, and is one of the few records produced by Pzazz (in business from 1968-69). The playing condition of the single being offered in this auction is NEAR MINT, the visual condition is glossy with the original finish still intact! BEING VERY PICKY, under bright light, only a few tiny micro-scuffs from storage are apparent in the run-out grooves -- overall, the single is in amazingly clean shape with an equally clean sound. Even the original brown paper stock sleeve is in excellent shape! (The only light imperfection of the label shown above was a result of the original printing process of the song title on side A.)
The UNRETOUCHED audio sample of this single was recorded from a Stanton T-90 USB Direct Drive turntable, using Audacity software. considering that this is an uncirculated single, this may have been the only time the single has been played. Go to the eCommerce player shown above to listen.
We were fortunate enough to have found a box of Northern Soul (and a few Psych/Pop) singles a while back that included Pzazz and other small labels from the same time frame (Impact, Revue, Bell, etc). Since the other issues are also in Near Mint condition, I believe these were kept by a regional A&R man (almost all are promo issues) and stored away for more than 40 years as either a special collection or simply records that were never distributed in the course of his/her work.
