Jordirip Posted May 23, 2013 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
Epic Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 One of the last "traditional" Northern tunes played by CC at The Mecca & what a corker of a record it is !!!Does it ever get played these days or is everybody still talking about the girl across the street ? 1
macca Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Ripe for UK release on Shotgun, Kent etc, I'd say. Fabulous then and now...
Steve Plumb Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Just dug it off the shelves and given it a spin for the first time in years! Marvellous! T'other side not too shabby either (Gotta stange feeling) Good shout TFK 1

Greety Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Are we now going to debate Mystery Men "City Skies" on Penthouse? Long overdue recognition for the girls. 1
Trev Thomas Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 dont know which came first, but, the yellow is considered the rarer of the two
Godzilla Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 dont know which came first, but, the yellow is considered the rarer of the two... ...chiefly by people who don't have a pink one
Trev Thomas Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 i had 2 yellows.............. never had pink other way round for me dave
Godzilla Posted May 24, 2013 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...
Mick Holdsworth Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Was there a release with a different B side, (aside from the boot), or am I thinking of something else ? Cheers Mick
Godzilla Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Was there a release with a different B side, (aside from the boot), or am I thinking of something else ? Cheers Mick Both have Gotta Strange Feeling on flip, Mick
Mick Holdsworth Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Both have Gotta Strange Feeling on flip, Mick Thanks for that, i was probably thinking of the different B side on the boot Cheers Mick
Rick Scott Posted May 27, 2013 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
