Great record Dave.

 

I guess it's a previous unissued one which Ady put out.

It was a 100 Club anniversary freebie around that time originally Dave, great record.

Agree - top, top tune - how could that not have got a release?!!!! Great piece of digging from Harboro Horace! (or whoever it was).

I have to have this !

Hi Dave

It was released on Kent and there's loads on ebay.

 

Here is a link

You need to get out more Dave, it's been played to death on the oldies scene

Its from about 1969 I think (I'll have to check, it's so special its a bit hard to gage)but wasn't issued until the 100 Club anniversary dance of the date. The official P date of a record has to be its first release not when it was recorded.

I sort of agree. They should have released it. But not this version. It definitely sounds like a sparse demo take. Of course that's part of its charm. But I guess the buying public in the 60s wouldn't have liked it like that.

PS: if you like Carla you sure like Chuck as well (if you don't know it already). What a record!

Probably, Brav. My memories of an  'Oldies Scene' was Mr M's. (Which I avoided unless I needed a piss in a reasonably clean bog)! I just haven't heard it before, and in my dance years I would have loved this to death and It would have been a main room sound. Not an oldie ! But as usual on SS I've learned something ! I like the version I posted even though others have said it's sparse, but to continue my education, What are the other versions ?

Hi Dave.

Was just a bit of banter but I know what you mean.

It was and still is a great record but am not aware of another version so it looks like I need educating

Just surprised that anybody had not heard this (great) track. Then again i look through playlists or sales and say wtfit .Glad to say i'm always learning something new.

Absolutely Benji. If you're into real soul music then this is right up there. Simply stunning.
