Alley 🔷 1045 🔷 Up-tights 🔷 Just A Dream & Look A Little Higher 🔷 1969 🔗 https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction... Description The celebrated Soul journeyman Ike Noble and team are here again serving up, another vocal-group harmony excursion into D.I.Y. Northern Soul. Written & arranged by Ike himself, this time utilizing Joe Lee's Arkansas based vanity label. That released less than a handful of 45s that can be remotely classed as Soul 45's. Soon after that wonderful Memphis based release by Noble and the Uptights - Don't Worry About It / Lonely Man - Action 6850 from just a year earlier. Ike again echoes that tight harmony-based mid-tempo Soul with an equally fine creation, giving up two bewitching street-level group-grooves; Just A Dream / Look A Little Higher. We lead with the slightly more uptempo side "Just a Dream" with the beckoning blend of lilting guitar and considerate horn blows. Another "thankful" narrative of finding the right girl, which Ike's convincing indebted voice portrays so well, within a simplistic street-corner symphony that his grainy soulfulness is the star, only for his long-awaited rescue to be shattered .. as it's "Just a Dream". Flip it over and the same ingredients bolster a totally different storyline, of him loving a girl who doesn't love him. This brings forth Ike's inner determination , motivating himself to just move on...to just "Look A Little Higher"... hold your head high and keep on pushing. His expressive voice suiting this self-belief cradled by inspiring horns and approving guitar picking, welded and soothed by ghostly distant male group harmonies emphasizing he's not on his own, in his desire to pick himself up. Two exquisite D.I.Y. soulful dance grooves, gaining a strong following, that will slowly but surely burrow their way into your heart, also. Condition Report two rich red labels, no fade. Full gloss mint minus vinyl.
