The first time I heard this record I did a double take, asking myself "what is this Marvin Gaye track that I've never heard?"
Of course it's not Marvin, but the backing musicians are, in fact, the Motown band. With such a lovely, smooth voice, it's a wonder that Joe Matthews released only half a dozen or so singles in the 60's before drifting out of the music business.
Both sides of this record are superb, and probably would have been big hits if this platter was released on one of the Motown family labels.

"sorry ain`t good enough"..holy moley what a great tune..I can sure hear "Pride and joy" in there..nice one derek!
Hello Mr Mr See. Thanks for the great music. Sir, both links for Joe Matthews are for Sorry Ain't Good Enough. There doesn't appear tp be a link for You Better Mend Your Ways. Sounds like Marvin Gayes's Pride & Joy. Fantastic. From Johnnie K Auckland New Zealand
Both play the same song. O_O
Hi Derek! I love "Sorry Ain't Good Enough ... but would also like to hear "You Better Mend Your Ways" - which currently also links to "Sorry". Sorry! ;-)
Both tracks as posted come from "Sorry".
Btw, some of your original posts from when you started the blog have tracks that aren't playable any longer, at least on my browser (Firefox). Any chance you could fix that? Or repost some of those Barbara Lynn recordings, which is what originally brought me to your site?
The link is now fixed. Posts only stay up for a few weeks; there is an excellent collection out on Ace from Barbara Lynn that will give you all those sides. Buy it!
Thank you for fixing the link - I know you're super busy, much appreciated.
