What do you get when you cross the legendary group harmony of the Impressions, with the savvy production stylings of Daptone’s very own master of ceremonies and guitar dynamo, Binky Griptite?  Easy, you get one of the finest collaborations that has ever been realized onto 7 inches of high quality vinyl. Ladies and gentlemen we present to the greater Daptone Universe, the first single by The Impressions in over 30 Years.  Featuring original members, Fred Cash, Sam Gooden, as well as Reggie Torrian, who has been singing with the group since the early ‘70s – this single is the sweet soulful beauty you’d expect from the Impressions. No cheesy synthetic instruments or tryin-to-stay-contemporary 'beats' here. This is real soul music played by a real band and how sweet it is!

 "Rhythm" the aptly titled A-Side, is a Curtis Mayfield penned tune that was a big hit for Major Lance in the Mid-Sixties. The Impressions revive this classic with their iconic sophisticated harmonies and a new horn arrangement by "The 4th Impression", Johnny Pate himself, that moves the song along at a laid back, yet dance friendly pace. This track is Soul of the highest order.  Get the 45 at www.shopdaptonerecords.com/

Sometime in the 1960s Hank Mullen’s friend and fellow Buffaloian Carl LaRue, an organ player, traveled with his group (Carl LaRue and His Crew) all the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where he’d secured a steady gig as the house band at the local Zanzibar club. Soon after starting the job, he would invite a young (16yr & 19yr old) vocal duo to perform some of their original songs in front of his band during shows. 

Ernest Johnson Jr. and Eddie (Edgar) William Campbell were eager to make it in music and for the next 10 odd years would attempt to do so.

They managed to record and release a handful of singles across varied imprints spread throughout the United States, from South Carolina to Chicago, from New York to Phoenix. One of their singles, “Time Waits for No One” hit #1 on New York’s WWRL, which subsequently landed on the bill at the Apollo, appearing alongside soul heavyweight’s Gene Chandler, Wilson Pickett, and the Temptations. Through ups and downs, none of their pair’s recordings ever served to catapult them to greater fame and sadly in the early 70’s, Eddie’s premature death would close the door on their partnership. 

One of the duo’s last recordings, “Bullets Don’t Have Eyes” was never released at the time of its creation in 1972. The 45 was eventually released on Daptone imprint Ever-Soul in 2009. 

There are two versions of the 45 available in the Super Soul Super Store. One with the b-side "In These Very Tender Moments" and another 45 which features a different b-side, "You Make My Life A Sunny Day," which is exclusively available in our shop.

Harry's Code

[Verse 1] 
Spring rolls in with her flowers and breeze, 
But I ain’t bending, I ain’t tryin’ to please
Tired of chasing dreams that don’t wake, 
I gave too much, now I won’t break. 

[Verse 2] 
They told me “Fly,” I flew too far, 
They told me “Wait,” I stared at stars. 
But I’m done with standing at the door— 
No, I don’t take no orders no more. 

[Chorus]
 I got scars that sing me lullabies,
Smoke in my lungs, but clear in my eyes. 
They gave me lies dressed up like lore, 
But I don’t take no orders no more. 

[Verse 3] 
A girl in blue with a haunting gaze,
Closed my path in a velvet haze.
Her perfume whispered, “Come back home,” 
But I was born on roads to roam. 

[Bridge] 
The train of time won’t wait for me, 
Each stop a ghost, a memory. 
I paid with love, I paid with war— 
Now I don’t take no orders no more.

 [Chorus]
I got scars that sing me lullabies, 
Smoke in my lungs, but clear in my eyes. 
They gave me lies dressed up like lore,
But I don’t take orders no more.

[Outro] 
So when that May wind starts to howl, 
So when that May wind starts to howl, 
I won’t turn, I won’t bow. The future’s mine, down to the floor—
 ‘Cause I don’t take orders no more.

Take no orders no more
