Ady Pountain Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Tony, from memory it was played by Richard Searling originally. I unearthed a copy in Florida in the early 80's and played it at Yate and Stafford to no reaction, except from the chin strokers! I think it's a hard record to find but not that well know, Cheers, Ady Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Actually I clearly remember Pat Brady playing this at Saturday nights @ the Central in the late 70's along with "Sensitive Mind" - General Assembly amongst many others. Cracking record and 100% genuine Northern Soul in the traditional sense. It was a revelation to me at the time because I thought we had Arctic covered. Little did I know LOL.........

Professorturnups Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have a live recording from Peterborough "The Fleet" on a tape. Chris Plant was the DJ (what happened to him?) and he played Billy Floyd along with Freddie Williams and some other "60s Newies" from that time. I think it was 1983 but I'll dig it out and confirm the date. Mark C Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
