Pete S Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 You're right, definitely "Thats the story of my life", don't know if it was a UK only single but I;ve got it on British Stax. Was also on that Stax Northern Soul album compiled by ian D.

John Reed Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 All three Volt singles are fabulous and cheap too, you can't go wrong. Since I Lost My Baby's Love is my favourite of the five tunes.
