Coast To Coast - Paula Marie

Paula Marie is a sought-after modern soul and disco recording from Coast To Coast, written by Mark Beiner with Ben Iverson. Long valued within the specialist soul scene, the track combines an easy, floating groove with polished songwriting and an unmistakably independent feel.

Athens Of The North describes the record as a favourite from the modern-soul dancefloor circuit, with label notes recalling its impact at the Prestatyn soul weekender and the difficulty of finding an original copy.

The flip side, Crack, reveals a different side of Coast To Coast: an early New York rap recording by the group. Although previously made available digitally alongside an LP project, this edition marks its appearance on vinyl.

This two-track seven-inch is an appealing archival release for collectors of modern soul, disco and early independent New York sounds.
