Sound Judgement

The world's only definitive weekly dance music reviews

CAROL LEE SCOTT ('GROTBAGS THE WITCH') 'THAT LITTLE BIT OF LOVE / YOU GOTTA BELIEVE '
(LICORICE SOUL)

Rod Hull & Emu, that naff UK kids TV show from the 80's, isn't something that you'd immediately think of on the trail of lost musical classics. However, those Licorice Soul geezers - master practitioners of the sideways leap of faith when it comes to quality re-issues - deliver the goods once again, turning up two previously unreleased nuggets from Carol Lee Scott, better known maybe as Grotbags the Witch from said show. But before Grotbags fame, she was a successful jazz singer in the early 70's, these two sides demonstrating her amazing vocal talents.  Bold and sassy, this is the first time these two songs have been released on single format, and should be an essential purchase for anyone playing classic 70's funk.
