Be My Friend / Is There Someone Else? [7"]

Ripple's 'Be My Friend' was only an album track in the US (from their 1973 GRC LP) and a single in Italy alone, yet it has become a sought-after DJ favourite: a dramatic, up-tempo jazz-soul number with classy harmonies that plays like proto-disco. This is its first proper 7" outing.

7"

On the flip, Detroit's Deep Velvet deliver 'Is There Someone Else', a superbly produced harmony ballad cut for GRC sister label Aware but left in the can until Kent's 2024 Atlanta soul CD. A UK import 7".
