You could have 'Liked' the clip as well...  :D

I mean on YouTube... As well as leaving a comment on YouTube, you can click the 'Like' button. There's only one 'Like' for the clip, and that was me a few minutes ago. Go on, show her even more love. You know you want to...

This was one of the first 'Northern' soul records I ever bought (boot of course). I would sit with my eyes shut and it just would transport me to a far off place where music of this atmosphere and class was being made by people that no-one knew about. It made me feel privilidged to be someone who could listen to it and 'get' it, and also know that there wasn't a cat in hell's chance of me explaining the feeling or the music to anyone in school the next day. So I would just keep it to myself. I've always loved the instrumental of this particularly, with it's haunting simplicity.

One of the last "traditional" Northern tunes played by CC at The Mecca & what a corker of a record it is !!!

Does it ever get played these days or is everybody still talking about the girl across the street ?

Just dug it off the shelves and given it a spin for the first time in years! Marvellous!

 

T'other side not too shabby either (Gotta stange feeling)

 

Good shout TFK  :thumbsup:

play it at rugby, freestyle room,really went down well billy

Well I think it's very average  :huh:

 

Bazza  :hatsoff2:

dont know which came first, but, the yellow is considered the rarer of the two...

 

...chiefly by people who don't have a pink one :lol:

To be honest we've debated this before and I think opinions are split roughly 50/50. Probably means there's not much difference in reality - although I still think the pink one looks nicer...

Was there a release with a different B side, (aside from the boot), or am I thinking of something else ?

 

Cheers

Both have Gotta Strange Feeling on flip, Mick :thumbsup:

Love this to bits and always in my Cleethorpes Box, Massive for me at Pier/Winter Gardens As was for Colin and Ian at the Mecca. 

Bernice has a Beautiful voice which takes this tune to a different level,often slip this into my Modern sets, also have to say when you

listen to it now it makes you realise how different this record must have sounded on first hearing at the time but you have to admit it is

CLASS shear CLASS, Wonderful :yes:
