Year Released: 2012 (Reissue)
Label: Outta Sight Records – OSV‑069
Genre: Deep Soul / Funk / Northern Soul

Description:
Originally released in 1971 on the Cameo‑Parkway imprint, this compelling 7″ single pairs Yvonne Baker’s haunting deep‑soul track “You Didn’t Say A Word” with Hattie Winston’s under‑the‑radar funk‑soul number “Pictures Don’t Lie.” The 2012 Outta Sight reissue brings these two gems back into circulation, masterfully preserving the analog warmth and raw emotion of the original recordings.

Baker’s side captures her smoky vocal delivery over a tightly locked rhythm section and moody horn accents, while Winston’s flip ramps up the groove with driving drums and a bold funk injection. This reissue gives modern collectors and DJs access to these rare tracks in a high‑quality pressing, reflecting their status as deep grooves revived for the present day.

The original 1971 pressed on Cameo‑Parkway has long been a sought‑after item among rare‑groove and Northern Soul collectors, prized for its evocative vocal performances and analog production values. With the 2012 Outta Sight reissue (OSV‑069), the tracks gained renewed recognition and accessibility, making them favorites in DJs’ sets and modern funk/soul crate‑digging circles.
