Ernest Mosley’s – ‘Stubborn Heart’ is solid gold Northern Soul. A funky edged R&B dancer at its finest. Interesting changes, slamming vocal and precision timing has guaranteed enduring popularity from the days of the Wigan Casino through it’s home at the Blackpool Mecca in the Mid 70’s, to the modern day European soul scene. Surprisingly apart from the £1000+ original pressing the only pressing that exists is a ropey northern soul ‘look alike’ bootleg from the mid 70s so when offered the chance to do it right we jumped at the chance.
Don’t sleep on the flip ‘Keep On Loving Me’ either, while more formulaic than the ‘famous’ A side it’s at the top of its class, that drummer is having a great day. Why was this 45 not a hit?

Greg Foat has those moments when heart, colour, emotion, silence and sound are just in complete alignment.
That kind of harmony always hits home for me as it just creates a super warm and loving vibration.
Antonio’s Theme for example creates such a moment for me.
Funny enough I was just listening to the Honey Bear when I stumbled over this record. Talking about synchronicity. Thank you. Vikrant Kumar Thomas Junk

I listened to Greg Foat before and really liked his waterfall-like piano style in the Hampshire and Foat Albums. On this album you'll also get to hear nice lyrics and a mixture between folk and jazz as well as the can-like drumming from the Heliocentrics' drummer. Yeah! StrangeFlow

Rainy introspective contemplative moments, neon lights reflecting in puddles and cosmic excursions whirl around my mind when listening to this album. Great stuff! The gaye device
