Just read a comment in the for sale section that got me thinking 

I always thought the Schema 12'' was the original, am I wrong? 

 

Yes, and legally (re-)issued on a 7" on the Unique Label from Düsseldorf/Germany

The 12's over 7 minutes long, so probably a bit too long for inclusion in a Northern set.  Plus there is the 7" attraction.

The fact that it's a 12" matters little to a good DJ.......there are ways to deal with such things!  It's all about the 7" fetish I'm afraid, it clearly can't be down to a pieces "originality"!!!

Besides that, Was-A-Bee is the original version of the song.........

Beat me to it mark....was -a-bee , is the original group, before he went solo......I have the cd..

The 12" is over 7 minutes long because that is how long it was made to last.
The 7" is just a pointless edit with bits missing for people who put format before quality.

Mr. Burgess of Soul Intent 1st played this as a new release  back in 2004 (Was A Bee) at our 1st venue ,the Worksop crowd threw beer mats and jeered at him whilst he was playing it.

 

Why would anyone try and force this tune into a northern night? Nice tune an' all that but northern?

It was not a northern night ! modern and across the board or so we thought.

northern is abroad enough church for it to be classed as northern

As a side note have you heared Shilly Bassys version of this

Interesting, thanks for that. i was expecting something different when i saw a DSB version, it just sounds so "matter of fact" and not nice and smooth. shame, but thanks for posting 

I love the 12inch of this tune, the way it's supposed to be. I know it's 7 minutes long but pure quality...
