EDDY GILES - TINGLING / PINS & NEEDLES

The much-admired southern soul singer Eddie Giles' final single for his local Shreveport label Murco, was a self-penned bluesy plodder called 'Ain't Gonna Worry No More'. Hiding on the flip was 'Tingling' a catchy, atmospheric song written by Murco executive Dick Martin and Jimmy Johnson whose pop group the Peermonts were label-mates. His subsequent release by the same production team appeared on the Silver Fox label so his management may have felt his time at Murco was up - the few pressings of 'Tingling' are now in the rare soul big price league. Around the same time Eddie cut a version of a 40s Country song written by Fred Rose which leant itself to being an excellent mid-tempo soul number; though not released at the time. Despite it's sparse instrumentation, it is a very good performance, now on vinyl for the first time
