It's not one of my favourites either but you've got to appreciate the craft in there. Mick Smith, who has been on the scene for night on 50 years, reckons this is the greatest Northern dancer ever. It's not far off. Like I said, if it was an unknown that you were hearing for the first time, people would go completely mental for it. And of course bear in mind, when it was first discovered and played, it didn't set the world on fire, yes it was popular for a few weeks but the Eddie Foster bootleg killed it so it's only since the cd age and the 'worlds rarest record' tag was put on it that it's become a subject for derision and not praise.

With or without rarity one of the greatest things ever recorded and anyone who says to the contrary needs psychiatric help. If you could explain exactly what is wrong with this track, please do. Oh is that awful Funk Brothers group playing the music, or the terrible vocals of Frank Wilson, or the rubbish tune and lyrics? Dead easy for people to say that something they've heard a million times is crap, but if you heard that record for the first and only time you would be knocked off your feet and begging to hear it again. Even just that inro, when it builds, the anticipation that it's going to deliver the goods and BAM it sure does...

Trevor Nelson dominated the debate despite not appearing to know what he was talking about most of the time. It was very, very poor. But the two previous night's shows were the best thing on tv this week by a mile.

Two years ago? Was it broken?

It's pretty easy to pick up mate, £20 for a mint one but any less, £8 to £15 really. This UK version is way better than the Jamaican mix, the Jamaican one doesn't have the strings which make the UK one so beautiful. Next one I get I'll give you it. In fact I might have one on my jukebox (though I think it's Jamaican - doh!)

Best Ska version of a Beatles tune ever

What a truly horrible album sleeve.

Can't see them on his site, doesn't matter anyway, despite someone emailing me to tell me "if I didn't want tp pay £15 I'd have no chance of getting copies", I actually got issues 1, 2 and the missing 1974 one for F*CK ALL due to me having some nice friends who gave them to me. I might just pay for the missing number 3 but not more than a fiver.

Ooh not for me thanks - that is an 80's remake of a 1967 stunner..

I can't, I'm too stunned at you saying that the backing track is amateurish LOL this backing track has been used on 7 or 8 classics including the oe below, which isn't a soul record but sounds like it should be - totally fantastic track by the same artist

Nah he must mean the other one, She's A Heartbreaker. Otherwise someone would have found one by now if it existed.

Not sure if those are by the same Parliaments - anyone?

You haven't found Kept On Dancing have you?

Liam you don't like The Majestics. How can I begin to explain anything to you?

Absolutely agree about Bobby Kline but you should see some of the abuse I've had in the past for saying it! That's one that really divides people's opinion.
