I nearly fell off my chair when I heard this for the first time which was about 3 minutes ago - a rocksteady version of Jeanette Williams - All Of A Sudden - and it's great! But where on earth would they have picked that up from?? It's by Carl Dawkins by the way, well worth a listen.

Load of horse trollops Pete in my humble opinion.

By the way I'm also totally pissed off today as I got a £30.00 parking fine off a copper on a mountain bike for parking on double yellow lines in Wombourne village centre. I was only gone for 2 minutes.

Don't listen to the parking offender, it's a quality record. I'll be keeping my eye out for a copy so thanks for the tip :thumbsup:

That is pretty surreal.

I like it in a Ska/blue beat/rocksteady kinda way.

I might be barking up the wrong tree but...isn't there an earlier Soul version of this by someone like ZZ Hill or Mckinley Mitchell ?

,,,There is a very sizeable Jamiacan community in Atlanta Georgia and other major southern Cities. So several 'southern soul' hist were covered by Jamiacan artists. Backbeat would definitely be on their radar. Not sure if Carl Dawkins is now based in USA ......?

Craig, you either get it or you don't with this stuff, there doesn't seem to be a dividing line. Just listen to that rolling bass...fantastic!

I have no sympathy for anyone parking on double yellow lines in MY village, they are usually lazy bastards who want to get nearer the chip shop or the cash machine, but I am shocked that you got a ticket because as far as I know, we have no police here!

Excellent track Pete.
