BARRY ST. JOHN According To St. John (Wonderfully Groovy 1968 13-track LP by the Glaswegian soul singer who did her apprenticeship at The Star Club in Hamburg, returned to sign with Decca for a few singles before releasing this LP on Major Minor a couple of years later. In the intervening half century, her singles and this album have become firm favourites with the Northern Soul scene and she now enjoys probably more popularity than she had at the time. This album includes both ofher contemporary singles, Cry Like A Baby & By The Time I Get To Phoenix, along with belting versions of Etta James’s Tell Mama, Otis Redding’s Fa Fa Fa (Sad Song) and William Bell’s Love-Eye-‘tis. With backing vocals by Sue & Sunny and Lesley Duncan, along with Barrelhouse 'Jerry Lee' piano provided by Chas Hodges, this album could easily have been recorded in the USA. The front laminated picture sleeve shows just a little light wear, mostly to the unlaminated back & the vinyl remains in excellent condition with few signs of play. A superb copy of a very rewarding album! MMLPP43)
