You're The Guy...When was this first played at a Northern event? Wonderful record and very atmospheric but it seems a bit slow for mid-70s tastes but I guess not everything was a full-blown stomper then.

Stafford I'd guess...never heard it til late 80's

Don't recall ever hearing it at Stafford, I'm sure it was early 80s when I first heard it, however.

Wigan, late 70s, very briefly - about the same time as Gloria and the T-Aira's "I'm Satisfied"

I remember someone nicked some records from Dave Withers' stall on Bury market and I have a feeling that both of those records were among them. That's probably why I remember that they were around at the same time.

I have it down as an Ian Clark spin so that would make it 82/83 at Stafford, he could have been playing it earlier?

I got this in a soul pack, I think from Soul Bowl or maybe Black Grape, and always liked this side and used to put it on tape swaps. But as is so often the case with changing tastes, give the flip side a listen "Hey Baby" - really nice track and one that I do think could get played out too.

Sadly I can't help with dating it or linking it to who played it, but if it was one of those Soul packs I think I went for them in the early 80's rather than some of the different suppliers in the mid/late 70s when I tended to get more pressings in the packs.

Hi great record I used to play it 78/79 never managed to break it

Pretty much every soul 45 seller at shows over here has it in their boxes and they never seem to shift as they're all trying to get $75-$100 still, nice little record but over-priced given the quantity around. 

Was Popular down the 100 club for sure mid 80s 

Bought mine off Ian Clark

I got Gene Robertson's copy so that would also probably have come from the 100 Club.

What a great record.

Hi Rich  Now have a copy again and played it at Skegness last April still sound great.

Hi J, hope you are well.

 

Always loved it, but I don't think people were quite ready for it back then! Nice to know you are persevering with it!

Notts Palais All Dayers ?

Certainly an Ian Clark spin as well, pre Stafford.

Hi, Yes I did Steve you most have gone to the All Dayers then ?

Yes Jonathan. Always thought for quality musically it had without a doubt the best line up going. Great venue.

Hiya Chalky, you maybe right, cos Dean Anderson covered Shirley Edwards up as Argie & the Arkettes & that must have been in the mid 80s (IMHO)

Played around Manchester 79 ,80.  bought a copy off Dave Withers  For £ 4.00  after it had been lingering in his sales box for months first at £ 10.00 , then £ 6.00 .    haunting atmospheric sound . 

Agree,great record.I give it a go when the time/venue is right.WDJ anyone.?

Bought mine early 9t's.. Fabulous record..

Hi Mr Woodliffe & Mr Broughton  I can remember jonathan playing it at the palias  just before you sold up think I had it of you along with the bobby kline  a £5 and joanne king on fairmount plus a couple of other bits ,also seem to remember Ian Clark playing it at yate around the same time

 

atb Steve  

Hi Steve, Can I buy the Bobby Kline back I will put a fiver in the post tomorrow ?

Definitely Yate for me, had a tape from either Ian Clark or Adey Pountain with it on and bought one around that time. Long gone now but would like to get it back.
