Just listening to Derek & Ray's 'Interplay', imho this is proper Northern that was made to be blasted out the speakers in dancehalls at weekends, i fear this sorta tune is frowned upon nowadays, the same as things like Andre Brasseur's 'The kid' are.
However i played 'The kid' out the other day to a 6ts/Studenty style audience & their faces lit up when i played this and you could see their energy levels visibly grow.
Discuss if you wish, quite intrigued to hear people's views, i know some people will say these aren't Soul records but i'd rather hear them played out than a dreary plodder like say 'Ordinary Joe'.
