Alvin Cash & The Registers ‎– Sweatin' (Do What You Want To)

Mar-v-lus Records ‎– SSR -2004 Secret Stash Records

Note:

"Sweatin' (Do What You Want To)" was recorded in 1965 at One-derful! but never issued.

Years after it was recorded, a mislabeled instrumental acetate of the song surfaced in England. The acetate, under the incorrect name "You Got Me Baby" by The Kinettes, became a floor filler on the northern soul scene.

This new 45 is the first official pressing of the "Sweatin' (Do What You Want To)" instrumental, and the discovery of the vocal take finally solves the mystery behind this sought after recording.
