Freddie & Dessie | Girls Talk 7"Super rare under the radar early 80's roots bomb from Freddie and Dessie recorded at the legendary Aquarius Studios and reissued here courtesy of TRS out of France. Lovely laid back soulful vocals from cousins Freddie and Dessie ably assisted by a young Beres Hammond on backing delivered over an irresistibly chunky roots rhythm. The result is a one of a kind gem that combines the ruggedness of roots with the smooth soulful flow of lovers rock.
