ORIGINAL U.S. ISSUE
Jessie Smith Robbie Montgomery Venetta Fields
The same three young ladies had previously recorded for Ike Turner as The Ikettes, from 1962 to 1965 (the "Heavenly Love", "Crazy In Love", "Here's Your Heart, "Camel Walk", "Peaches And Cream" and "I'm So Thankful" period); but they left after a dispute with Ike, and re-emerged on Mirwood, calling themselves The Mirettes after their new label

SECOND TIME OUT ON MIRWOOD FOR "HE'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME"
BUT ONLY ON ISSUE COPIES (DEMO'S HAD THE A-SIDE ON BOTH)
THE MIRETTES
"NOW THAT I FOUND YOU, BABY"
HEAR HERE!
A. Starts of with a few bars of keyboards (repeated during the two Lurch-like breaks); the rest is pure Mirwood, with a solid dance beat well to the fore during the chorus; even the slightly mellower verses have a ticking rhythm; this side was written and produced by Sherlie Matthews of The Belles (note that "Let Me Do It" - a.k.a. "I Wanna Do Everything For You Baby" - was booted on Soul Galore as by The Belles, but is really an unissued track by The Mirettes)
b/w
"HE'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME"
HEAR HERE!
B. So good that Mirwood released it twice (initially on 5514, as the A-side of their first single); powerful on-the-fours beat from the off, with oodles of brass and a booming bass line; written by Jimmy Thomas; produced by Fred Smith and Bob Relf; released in the UK at least three times on 45 (Jay Boy/Soul Fox/Contempo-Raries) - and that's just in the pre-CD era
