I like it. expect to hear it on the closing credits of the next Tarantino Western.

Well can't believe the demand on this one, which I bought from King Bee about 8 years ago for £30. An excellent double sider , which also turned out to be a decent investment. I confess to not having heard it until I played it in the shop. There was only one deck and I had to get in a line of five people all waiting to play stuff on a Saturday afternoon, I nearly gave up and walked out without having a listen. Miss those afternoon outing's with my younger brother Geese.

Excellent great to see a contemporary tune on here.

British only I think. A Pete Smith mixcloud show, turned me onto this, lacks a bit of an edge, but I likes it myself. Danny Williams ‎ I've Got To Find That Girl Again Columbia Applogies if it's been posted before.

Martyn Give us a clue as to what's up with Jerry ? Please..........

Here's one of my fave's, from the duo's LP The Love We Have, The Love We Had Eversince I Can remember 1973

Often cited as a re-issue, though I rather think that this is either album only or Joe-Boy limited press. Anyway sometime during the late 90's I bought one from Beatin' following heavy plays by Richard Searling on Jazz FM as it was then. What a great show, with fabulous guests and chat. Clydene Jackson I Need Your Love Joe Boy one sided press.

Wasn't aware of these manship moments clips. Thanks for sharing.

The Philadelphia Flyers were a UK group , the record was plugged by Tony Blackburn. Must dig it out.

Funnily enough I once had a conversation with my mate Billy Jaroszek on the balcony of Mr M's , relating to Teddy Lads. Mr Ms was largely regarded as the oldies room and Billy 10 years younger than me, asked me what i thought of the scenes future , whether it would be still going in years to come,. My answer was that I wouldn't like it to continue as a revivalist scene like the then 70's fashion for Teddy Boy (amongst others - as the 70's was pretty eclectic fashion wise) pop through groups like: Darts, Showaddywaddy,Shakey and Mud. "That'll be the day I thought"- of course Northern Soul never went away really . Anyway I digress, I love that Gladys record.

Ha, ha only joking mate. Thanks

Beirut was the Med place to be seen for Jet-Setters during the 1960's. 4 decades of Arab-Israeli conflict and civil war, put pay to that. A beautiful country , sadly ruined by war, politics and religion.

Chums eh, was this at Eaton or Greyfriars ? I hope that you didn't send the fag's down to Woolie's for the latest 45's back in the day. :-)

Thanks for a great article. I never read the previous posts so the debate was new to me. Either way as far a genre goes, the "These Things" is a great recording of great tune. Whether the content is soulful or not is irrelevant to the Northern Scene, I like the tune which obviously sounds better without the canned applause. Thanks for elucidating. PS does anyone have a sound file of the Move On Up track??

New to me , Nice one. Typical of many (SS7) records played at the Torch, I'm surprised that this has slipped by. Has it had any legs anywhere Martyn?

New addition. Otis Waygood Band Get it Started Decca UK

Cracker! Didn't know about the Nat King Cole link, but it's true. See here The Let's Do The Crossover Kent CD has the unreleased version without strings.

One of the finest crossover records ever made, produced written and sung by J J, through the Groovesville production team shear soul magic: J J Barnes Got to get Rid of You Volt 1969, L V Johnsons' version ain't too shabby either.

Some call it Crossover, let's just call it Soul. Slowing it down a bit, I absolutely love everything about this track, the production, song and singing all spot on, Out of Chicagofrom 1975, September "I'll Go Crazy" Brunswick records (source record is not a great copy unfortunately):
