Anyone know how many of these are about - I think I've only heard Sam play it

Fff

Definetely rare. I know off one copy in texas

There is one here, but it's a bit fried bacon

I think there are more out there than we think, certainly a few appear to be snapped up a few years back for a LOT less than you'd expect to pay now, great tune !

First heard Butch play it in barcelona about 6 yrs ago.  I know it's been played at the 100 Club for years.  Sam got his recently and has been paying it at Spirit.

It's been a staple at the 100 Club for a while now and to my ears gets better each time I hear it. Sits nicely alongside Rideout and that kind of stuff which is just great dancefloor music.

Red Gregg also has it I believe. Great disco soul!

Possibly the worst record I've ever heard played at the 100 Club; but those pesky kids like it!

There's a few codgers wot bounce about to it too!

Not grumpy ones like me. They must be on happy pills.

Jump into the disco pool Ade! The water's fine.

ps Should i wear my spandex croptop or lycra hotpants for the 100 club on the 3rd? I think the croptop but Gill says i'm too portly for it these days, cheeky cow.

just like in the clip, lol.

I'm a big fan, and like all of this sort of stuff that's currently being pushed - Jax Transit, Chuck Stevens, Portrait, Star Quake etc.

Theres enough of it about though eventually itll all get re issued sadly. 

Think there are copies residing in Aus and Ireland too.

Not sure how legit the red ones are but showing 2 releases on discogs & someone got lucky with a bargain.
Also due for release on AOTN soon apparently.

Sigh....I remember when I was a "pesky kid" at the 100 club niters.  About 1981 it must have been.  I remember there used to be all these really old people (must have been in their 30s) dancing to R&B.  Sometimes we used to have to wait ages for a proper northern soul record to come on. 

Joking apart, do you remember back in the day they used to have a woman cooking chinese food in the corner at the jazz nights before the allnighter?  When we all piled in the whole place smelled like a burnt wok.  Happy days!

Indeed, they left early 80s and from then on it was Jet microwaving shepherd's pies (once for Princess Ann!)

She also did suasage sandwiches at the couple of "Modern niters that were held there, I remember finding one in my pocket a couple of weeks after!

I would have loved to see Backdoor Kenny come in and say to Princess Ann "excuse me, you're in my chair".
