For sure and when you nod off, images of this no doubt..

Proberly the best record out there.

Cant think of anything better it has everything and you never get bored of it.

Must get a couple of enquiries about this record a week and although uncovered now still many people not heard it as this thread demonstrates.

by all accounts it is actually tommy tate, the b side of tommy tate's "im taking on pain" on okeh "are you from heaven" is very similar

Yes it is Tommy Tate.

One went on Ebay beginning of April

Tommy & The Derby's "Don't Play That Role" / "Handy Andy" Swing - $2,651.00

Tommy Tate with Dorothy Moore on backing vocals & the Imperial Show Band..........recorded in the grease pit of a garage apparently......the forerunner of the Grits n Gravy set up.....Butch's Little Jerry Williams c/up which had us all in raptures for years........

I was just reading this thread thinking...not this record again

Regret posting anything about it to be honest, but forget myself online now and then.

Rather than cover old ground by others, here's 3 old old threads about this record - click to read:

[ click - JAN 08 etc ]

I'm probably committing soul heresy here, but i'm not a big fan. I've heard it described as the epitomy of a northern soul record and perfect for today's scene etc... while i agree it's catchy (whenever i hear it i'm always singing the first few bars for days after) it's a bit dreary to dance to and i'm someone who loves mid-tempo dancers (i even love dancing to Buddy Smith).

Sorry Bearsy
