Five years after their final big US hit ("He's Got The Power"), The Exciters released a one-two punch that peaked with the release of "Blowing Up My Mind". "Blowing" was one of the first 45's of the day on this site, and while it wasn't a chart hit it quickly became a stomping anthem on the Northern Soul scene of early '70's England.
While that record gets the attention it so rightly deserves, the groups' OTHER single on RCA tends to get overlooked but it's a stone groove as well, with another powerful lead vocal from Brenda Reid, excellent harmonies and a red hot guitar break from Brenda's husband Herb Rooney.
from 1968...
