Jordirip Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 What a f*cking fantastic record this is This was one of the first 'Northern' soul records I ever bought (boot of course). I would sit with my eyes shut and it just would transport me to a far off place where music of this atmosphere and class was being made by people that no-one knew about. It made me feel privilidged to be someone who could listen to it and 'get' it, and also know that there wasn't a cat in hell's chance of me explaining the feeling or the music to anyone in school the next day. So I would just keep it to myself. I've always loved the instrumental of this particularly, with it's haunting simplicity. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 To be honest we've debated this before and I think opinions are split roughly 50/50. Probably means there's not much difference in reality - although I still think the pink one looks nicer... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rick Scott Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Love this to bits and always in my Cleethorpes Box, Massive for me at Pier/Winter Gardens As was for Colin and Ian at the Mecca. Bernice has a Beautiful voice which takes this tune to a different level,often slip this into my Modern sets, also have to say when you listen to it now it makes you realise how different this record must have sounded on first hearing at the time but you have to admit it is CLASS shear CLASS, Wonderful 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
