    Las Vegas Connection Running Back To You / Can't Nobody Love Me Like You Do

    One of the more idiosyncratic U.S. independent labels must be the 'Hep Me' imprint from New Orleans run by veteran Soulman Senator Jones. Very few of Hep' Me's numerous releases made it out of New Orleans and the ones that did tended to go into collections and nowhere else. Las Vegas Connection's "Running Back To You" surfaced some time in the mid 1970s but there were never enough copies for it to take off. Hopefully that will change with this re-release on the original label. Also, a lovely piece of mid-tempo soul on the flip with the stunning ‘Can't Nobody Love Me Like You Do’. Original copies are few and far between and the current price benchmark for this superior slab of New Orleans vinyl is hovering around the £250 mark. As with most of our reissues this will appeal to across-the-board scenes.
