Outta Sight

Outta Sight is a UK based label that was originally launched in January 2007 as a Castle Music imprint, part of Sanctuary Records Group Ltd. It is now independently controlled and has become a limited company with Glenn Gunton and Tim Brown as directors. Although the limited company appears to have dissolved in 2015, Outta Sight continues to deliver a monthly collection of rare soul on vinyl and CD.

The label's Vinyl Series includes three different categories: OSV (Outta Sight Northern Soul), RSV (Outta Sight Rhythm & Soul), and MSV (Outta Sight Modern Soul). Each category has its own release schedule, with three 7-inch singles per month for OSV and RSV, and three per quarter for MSV. Every package is carefully compiled and packaged with the utmost reverence for this important archive.

With its innovative approach and collectable series, Outta Sight has established itself as a go-to destination for soul music enthusiasts looking for unique vinyl releases. Whether you're into Northern Soul, Rhythm & Soul, or Modern Soul, Outta Sight offers an impressive selection that will satisfy any collector's cravings.

It all starts with a great song and You Baby has it all! Penned by husband-and-wife team Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and with the magic touch of Phil Spector, it was the bedrock of a future classic. The song was originally produced by Spector for the Ronettes, signed to his Philles label. It appeared on their 1964 breakthrough album Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes, featuring, of course, his wife-to-be Veronica Bennett. The song was also recorded in the U.S. by pop/rock band the Lovin’ Spoonful for their 1965 debut album Do You Believe In Magic. However, in January 1966 Pye Records unleashed JACKIE TRENT’s epic Northern Soul version, produced by her husband Tony Hatch. Heralded by a pounding drum beat and trumpet blast it is no wonder that Jackie’s definitive cover shook the walls at Wigan Casino a decade later. And its popularity has never gone away, hence its current price tag of £300-400. Other notable covers include Sonny &amp; Cher, the Bubblegum pop group Salt Water Taffy and, in 1975, John Holt’s reggae version.

Lost Summer Love was originally recorded in 1964 by U.S. actress Shelley Fabares, known for her long-running role as Mary Stone in the sitcom ‘The Donna Reed Show’ and as Elvis Presley’s leading lady in Girl Happy, Spinout and Clambake. She also scored a No.1 pop hit in 1962 with the teen anthem Johnny Angel. But, as with our ‘A-side’, it was reborn as a Northern Soul classic when Pye Records picked the song up in 1965 and recorded it on their latest signing, teenager Lorraine Silber. Once again the stomping drum track, percussion and handclaps propel you to the dancefloor where you’re greeted with an unforgettably catchy tune, a bevvy of backing vocals and Lorraine’s effervescent vocal.
