THE HESITATIONS / BOBBY “BLUE” BLAND & MICHAEL OMARTIAN - Soul Superman / Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City - 7" - Vinyl

7" - Limited Edition Black Vinyl

A chiming guitar, vibes on full and that heady Motown / Ric Tic drumbeat with a falsetto vocal... what’s not to love? Originally released on Kapp in 1966 and often bootlegged, copies go for in excess of £100 for this excellent, driving floorfiller. The Hesitations have a few Northern nuggets to their credit - ‘Soul Superman’ is right up there with the best.

Backed with the super bluesy vocal of the legendary Bobby Bland on an aching tale of loss and regret. A slow smoochy groove with lyrics of genuine heartache... and all this with a resilient slow motion dance beat and some exquisite brass breaks. Featuring a gorgeous vocal-only drop out, it’s a triumphant return from the man who also released the beautiful ‘Shoes’.

Both sides remastered for sprung dancefloor- shaking longevity.
