Everything you wanted to hear by Philadelphia's multi-talented and mysterious Claudine Clark, including some alternate takes, great unissued tracks and a £500 northern soul rarity.
Claudine's Top 5 record 'Party Lights' was a great example of the early Philadelphia sound. Her recording of 'The Strength To Be Strong' is regarded as a Deep Soul classic, thanks to a 5-star review by Dave Godin in 1966. 1964's 'Goodbye Mama' is even more collectable, currently changing hands for £500 a copy.
Girl group fans collect her records and she appeals to soul buffs too. Her single 'The Telephone Game' is a popular item on the Northern Soul scene.
Our CD contains many tracks unavailable elsewhere, including a great previously unissued version of 'Buttered Popcorn', the Supremes song. Claudine recorded for six labels, all of which are included. She also recorded under a couple of pseudonyms and those tracks are included too.
