"A pair of funky jazz songs Poole recorded in 1967 one of which briefly broke through on the national charts have become collectors items, particularly in England, where Poole's name is still well-known among aficionados of the "northern soul" movement that emerged out of the '60s mod scene." - MLive Bill Chapen
