Ron Holmes - You are the girl / Driftwood modern soul test press 45"



I decided to present one of the rarest modern soul test press 45". Some months ago I had the pleasure to find a mega rare killer modern soul test press 45". Until now it was never seen even on demanding wants lists. I can't describe what I felt when I first heard this 45". I don't know if it was ever released. Also I don't know much info about Ron Holmes.
This modern soul test press was released on United Record Pressing Inc. Probably it was released in 1978. Date of creation 1978.
Ron Holmes recorded two killer tracks entitled "You are the girl" and "Driftwood". The first was composed by Dan Richard Nolen and himself and the second was composed by Dan Richard Nolen and John Riley Morris.

Fantastic tune "Driftwood".
Perfect Blue-Eyed Soul sound, exactly like the vibe of tracks I helped select for 'Americana - Rock Your Soul' for BBE Records that came out on the 4th July.
Nice find, and for a nice price I see!

I bought this 12" for 11 pounds in 1996 from England. However, I was wrong about it. In fact, I wanted to buy Arnie's Love . I got lucky. After 12 years I sold it for over 300$. It was recorded and released probably in 1980 on TAP Records. Arranged by Nathaniel Yisrael , David Parker and Arnie Love. Produced by Nathaniel Yisrael. From this ultra rare 12", I have chosen a ballad " Me, Myself & I ". Note: The above posted track is not played in full
