You're quite right, which is why I've specified the American! I'm fortunate to have a couple of pairs, as well as a pair of the current south American manufactured ones. They're alright, and I'd still certainly prefer them to Loakes because of their shape, but you really can tell the difference with the American originals!

Obviously, it's a personal choice and while I really would not recommend any of the manufacturers that you mention in your original post, I really am not a fan of Loake shoes, either. I simply don't like the shape of Loake's, and while I have tried on both their brogues and loafers, I would heartily recommend American Bass Weejun for loafers and British Grenson for brogues. Neither brands are the cheapest, or most expensive, for that matter, but they are both sharp as f**k with the quality to match. You'll not be disappointed...

Hi Chris, Pain has also been recorded by Nova's Nine on ABC and also Michael & The Mystics, but the label escapes me there. I've always thought that the Nova's Nine version was the original, but perhaps someone else can either confirm or deny that. It's got more of a garage feel than Little Flint, and is a little faster paced but ultimately sells for a lot less. I think Little Flint were from the Ohio area, again as I seem to recall that the Beast label was based there. It's certainly risen in value over the past few years, possibly due to its popularity on the Mod scene...
