A lovely bit of blue eyed soul from Jack Moves. This is a very pleasant 2010 cover of the Ledgends original 1970? version on Red Balloon which is impossible to find.

Great track this. Did it actually come out on 45? 

I honestly thought this was an LP only tune, and not cheap either, that 45 looks like a mock up label doesn't it?

I think it is LP only. Unlike some of the other great tracks on there which did escape onto 45's.

One of my favourite girl groups.

Don't generally post 60's stuff but I was really taken with this when I first started going to all niters in 1979 - it was a big, big record back then. Absolute stonker of a dance record with superb vocals, sax and horns. Lou Roberts and the Marks - You Fooled Me. Does it get played out today?

Never heard it till my time in the 80s Martyn so dont know the score but it would surprise me if it did get a Wigan Spin.The tempo and style was a step away from the traditional Northern sound an 80s vibe like so many stafford oldies that dont get accepted by todays scene.There is a fantastic clip on you tube of crazy Baz playing it out at a venue in the 80s ill see if i can track it down.

Spinning a few tonight - in and out of the garden, having a good drink up and making take away curry for ten people at work, which I will deliver on Monday. I've played this before but have just had it banging out here - just right for my mood tonight. A bit of Chicago soul, The Chimes - Beginning of My Life.

Any chance of posting up some Cleethorpes playlists Rick? As you say a lot of stuff like this you never hear these days - would love some more recommendations

Thanks Chris and Peter for you comments, they are always most welcome and Chris i will see what i can do and will continue to post stuff from that era as for me it was the best, very experimental and nothing fazed me, I always played what i believed in and still do, 

So this morning i have pulled another one out of that same box, The Wonderful Betty Fikes and passions Prove It Which was also very popular at the Blackpool Mecca. ENJOY! PS The other side of this is sublime SOUL mmmmmm

 

Nice pick again Rick. Yes the flip is a stunning deep record. Will have a dig round later for a Cleggy classic.

As The Mecca & Cleggy are often mention in the same breath,was there tunes first played at Cleggy that became biggies at The Mecca or was it all one way from Blackpool to Cleethorpes?

Fantastic track that Rick, new to me.

See one sold on here a couple of years ago for £1200 so well out of my price bracket. Some boots on discogs and even they are £50+

Eddie Holman - I'll Cry 1,000 Tears Bell

Great stuff Martyn - bought it one time at Keele from Roger Banks for £6 and still around for not much more - a lot of record for the money IMO
