THE TWENTIE GRANS - GUILTY b/w GIVING UP YOUR LOVE (IS LIKE GIVING UP THE WORLD)

This Detroit record was originally released with the group name Players, but as another group from Chicago with the same name had just released a minor hit ("He'll Be Back"), the record was withdrawn and given a new group name.

This seems to be the only release from the group, and "Guilty" is a majestic ballad an amazing, propulsive drum track; PURE Detroit soul. The flip side, "Giving Up Your Love" was co-written by Detroit soul legend Steve Mancha, and it's a catchy track with another superb production.

from 1967...
