When I first started collecting way back in the early 70's I remember always hearing 'one wonderful moment' by the shakers which I had on uk probe.....but I have never seen anything about them anywhere..

Can anyone tell me a bit about them please

cheers

Fair enough that, I meant not the original plus it was a question not a statement

It was pressed for the scene, as you said, 6 years after it's original release

btw it's listed on Discogs as a "Reissue" but your point still stands

I have checked and the first ABC UK release is not listed as re-issue and the probe and others are so seems correct IMHO

I see where you looked, on discogs, but the Probe UK came out in 1973 and the ABC UK came out in 1974. So the Probe 45 is UK first press. Discogs contradicts itself, if you click on the Probe release this is what is says in the notes:   The first UK release of these 1967 recordings, due to demand from the northern soul scene.

I have asked to be changed 

This is interesting (LP labels though) and a useful reference

A soul boy - what about the dog sound - in one wonderful moment - who came up with that , why - big hand clapping part of the record ?

This maybe of interest to you from a chat group in 2008

NSG - deffo dog barking - I remember not only at the casino and other venues of the time - but driving from Wigan back to Aldershot with a tape recorder running out of batteries and going over the same section / play / rewind / play / rewind etc etc time and time again - speed come downs who needs them 🤣😂🤣😂
