FIRST EVER RELEASE OF A NEWLY DISCOVERED MASTER 'Why Don't You Write' was originally recorded and released in 1971 by Lee Bates on Joe Banashak's New Orleans based Instant Records. It has over time become a sought-after Northern Soul collectable. It was produced by the unlikely sounding Alias Ducie (Deucie) who also released one obscure 45 on Instant, 'Then You'll Be Mine', credited to Alias Ducie & The New Orleans Poets. In a recent search of the Banashak master tapes in the Charly vaults we found an incredible unreleased version of 'Why Don't You Write' performed by Ducie, possibly as a guide track for Bates. We also found another unreleased master, 'High' and over a dozen unreleased Lee Bates masters. Here we release both versions for the very first time. And there's plenty more where this came from!Another exclusive from Charly Records.
