there is so many writers credits for this song you would think its of Jamaican origin. I used to collect versions of this song, had loads of them, then the internet came along and learnt how many more I didn't have

I've got the Spontanes LP. As you'd expect, lots of soul covers. Aint no big thing is on it (which beach band didnt cover it), but not the flip. Its a decent all round LP for what it is, and pretty rare, though nothing of specific interest (other than "Share my name" which appeared on the yellow Casino 45). Still, historically signifciant.

Is the outside looking in the same as Eddie Holland? No writing credit on the label.

I guess it would be the Little Anthony & Imperials track.
