SHARON TANDY Fool On The Hill/For No One 45rpm Vinyl Single Atlantic 1968
South African singer Sharon Tandy had a brief career as a blue-eyed soul singer in Britain in the 1960s, and although her recorded legacy doesn’t contain any big commercial hits, her unique phrasing and passionate vocal style suggest things could easily have been different. Tandy already had a career as a singer and performer in South Africa before relocating to England in 1964 at the suggestion of Frank Fenter, then the U.K. head of Atlantic Records and soon to be her mentor, manager, and husband. Pairing her with the British mod group Fleur de Lys, Feter used his clout to land her an opening slot on the on the 1967 Stax-Volt U.K. tour and, also convinced Stax to sign her as an artist, which led to Tandy recording several tracks at the label’s famed McLemore Avenue studio with Booker T. & the MG's and Isaac Hayes. Tandy's relationship with Fenter faltered, however, and she returned to South Africa in 1970 where she continued to sing and perform. Her output during the U.K. years, which saw her delivering sides that were mod-tinged and sometimes lightly psychedelic pop-soul, and sounding at times like a hipper, tougher version of Dusty Springfield, remain at the heart of her legacy. (Steve Leggett, AllMusic)
I have graded the vinyl Very Good Plus, as there are light signs of surface marks associated with a record being brought in and out of its sleeve and light use and wear. Playback is excellent.
There is a new inner sleeve with a soft protective lining, as well as a thicker outer cover and a photographic front piece better to identify a record housed in a collection - but this is not an original cover.
