Love em both, but in a 'nighter situation' I'd say Ernest Mosley pips it!

[Guest Spain pete]

Neck and neck, sit on the fence , suppose l could do , but that would be disrespectful to a brilliant tune , the sheppards for me just , girlie background vocals on Ernest's not to my taste .

[Eddiefoster]

Always preferred the group version myself.....and you get the (even better IMHO) flip with it

[Tattoodave]

The Sheppards for me, how do I like it?

[Steve S 60]

Two great versions.  Ernest, more urgent, whilst the Sheppards, more laid back.  Both oozing soul.  Happy to dance to either version but I'd have to catch my breath after the Ernest Mosley take.  I'll opt for the Sheppards simply because it's the first version I heard.

[Wicked]

Not much in it but the Sheppards just nicks it for me.

[Ian Stacey]

without a doubt Ernest Mosley  me & my good lady   played at the oddfellows & stafford in the 1980s

[Patto]

Yeah both good but Ernest is tops in my opinion

[Tomangoes]

Ernest puts in the work on the vocals and it's fantastic. The other version is second rate.

wouldn't go as far as second rate m8 both class tunes imo .best baz

[Carty]

Ernest Mosely  for me . The Female chorus  absolutely kills it .  Surprised the Sheppards goes for a few bob nowardays , used to be a throwaway disc , Tony Just in Manchesters underground market couldnt give em away for 40p  in the seventies , he had loads of them .

[Mark Bicknell]

Sheppards for me hands down, perfection simply sublime, Demo here as generic scan mine has little red date stamps on label, flip as it's been said is top draw.

End of the day that's what I love about NS - it's what you think or rather feel that counts....I simply can't tell you 1 track is better than another it's down to personal taste......loads of examples spring to mind and polling opinion doesn't change anything. Interesting though.

[Guest woolie mark]

They are both great.  This is like comparing versions of "You need love" or "Look into my heart", they are all great.

Can we also have a "can't decide between them they are both great" button in future please?

[KevH]

Ernest everytime for me. More polished, great memories for me.

[Supercorsa]

The Sheppards for me. First tune I paid over a ton for, a result of drunken bidding on ebay.

[Chris Turnbull]

Sheppards version not even in the same ballpark for me, Ernest on a different level altogether

[Mark B]

ernest mosley is the better of the two for the dancefloor but sheppards takes it on the group soul style. i had the sheppards never owned acopy of erernest mostley

[Hooker1951]

Ernest version has the edge, the finish and polish

[Mike]

closing this tomorrow, so we are now talking  last chance to get your choice across

as always thanks to all who have took part so far, some interesting comments and takes

own take is Ernest for me, just that bit better

 

[45cellar]

My thanks as well to all who took part in this dilemma as both are fantastic records.

Purely on personal taste as obviously there's no right or wrong choice.

I absolutely love the Mirwood label and its output.

However torn and after much deliberation I finally chose Ernest Mosley.

[Mr Fred]

Ernest mosley by a mile!. All the best Fred
