The Marvels - Got To Get Away (Trojan TR 7904)

Hi Kids,

Well it's been a lot warmer this week and it got me in a Jamaican mood. Thus todays blog post. Last week we had a winter storm and this week it's been 10 degrees centigrade. I can't help but feel that Spring is on it's way.

I picked this single up at the local record show this weekend and felt it was a good candidate for my warm weather celebration post. The Marvels aren't exactly Reggae royalty but they have the distinction of being produced by one Dandy Livingston. All in all a solid effort. The A Side is a touch more gospel with "He's got the whole world in his hands", but the B side is perky and fun with a DEEEP base line for those of you with good speakers and an ending that surprised me the first time I heard it. It almost sounds tacked on to the end of the song, like another song is starting.....however, it's nothing but goodness so listen for it.

There's not much else to say here as I don't know much about this band. Being on Trojan is usully a good thing and I've STILL never been disappointed. So SHINDIGGIT and be on the lookout for a new mix coming soon. I've been scoring some brilliant Northern Soul and want to present it in another installment of "On A Northern Tip". Follow me on Twitter (Here) if you want to chat about records or any other Twitter Fodder you can think of.
