The Untamed - My Baby is Gone/I'll Go Crazy (Stateside SS431)
You know it really amazes me sometimes. Over the last few years the price people are paying for mediocre rare soul, R&B be they original or bootlegs has become ridiculous.
Just recently a 70's bootleg of Lou Ragland - "I Travel Alone" went for over £300+
However that's my gain as this little beauty went up on eVilBay the other week with hardly a whimper and I managed to pick it up for a little over the price of a couple of packets of cigarettes.
Anyway The Untamed were a mid 60's beat group from the south coast of England who had a few releases between 1964/67. However the b-side is what we are really interested in here as it's a full on dance-floor Mod mover of the highest order. "My Baby Is Gone" is just a stunning slice of British beat/soul that has captured the dancers on the UK Mod scene for a good long while. I'm very happy to have this in my #lilredrecordbox
