Joe Graves: It’s Got To Be For Real (Rack 103)
The Creations: Footsteps (Zodiac, 1967)
The Trinikas: Remember Me (Pearce)
It’s all gone a bit quiet on the Fuzz so thought I’d drop a couple of 45s for you that have been hanging around the system for a moment like this. Not much to link the tracks today apart from:
a) They all deal with pained expressions of love
b) They’re all absolute superb
I know nothing, I repeat nothing, about Joe Graves or this song but it’s so sublime it hurts me inside. I love the longing urge that broods through the track, from the falling chords to Joe’s anguished vocals and those stabbing horns. What a track. Someone please hook Ghostface up with this to rap over on his next album. Many thanks to Ako for first bringing this to my attention.
Moving onto the next broken heart. The Creations 45 release, Footsteps, is a lovely slice of mid tempo frustrated love from 1967. I couldn’t work out why there weren’t any more releases from this group until it was pointed out to me that in actual fact the Creations were the far more prolific Brothers Of Soul under another name. This is pure northern soul heat at it’s finest.
Finally we come to the Trinikas. A bass heavy, horn heavy, passion heavy track in every sense this 45 is one that started expensive and will continue to rise but is worth every exaggerated amount it goes for. The blend of the gospel vocals and funk make this a unique combination of haunting and footstomping and a genuine classic.

Yes that Joe Graves track is incredible. I'ma sample that right now and pass it to Ghost, one way or another. Thanks!
I don't know how you do it, but you do, you do, Junior. I am asleep on new and old music, and here is another reminder. Joe Graves, this is like woah. Thanks!

I had the Trinkas track on 7" as released on Jazzman some years back
but unfortunately lost it
Fantastic tune, good to hear it again
Hey Rockin'andRollin'
Believe it or not there's no actual date on the record itself so it's a mystery to me – reckon you're in the right ball park though.
great songs love that Joe Graves and The Trinikas.
Good lookin' out on that Trinikas joint. I've been trying to get my hands on a copy for a minute and it always seems just… barely… out of reach.
Thanks.
