Brothers O'Kelly, Rudolph and Ronald, from Cincinnati, Ohio, need no introduction to the Northern Soul scene. Their now legendary Motown output may not have hit in Detroit but it has been a staple of UK club land "forever". Our top-side - "My Love Is Your Love" - is perhaps the most treasured of their rare soul recordings and, incredibly, was not deemed worthy of a release at the time. It first appeared in 1972 on the UK EMI budget imprint Music For Pleasure on the album Tamla Motown Presents The Isley Brothers (Side 1, track 3). It had to wait a further 40 years before finally being released on 45 as part of the 2013 Motown 7s Box Set. "Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby" is a club anthem and yet another enigma. Again, Motown did not consider it worthy of release in America, but instead, thanks to demand from Northern Soul fans, it was released in the UK on Tamla Motown in 1973.
