Yeah, it's the flip to Edwin Starr's vocal on Ric-Tic, legit USA release.

Always prefered it to the vocal myself

The RIC TIC single's instrumental has the girly backing singers on it, Guy Hennigan used to play at Stafford the band track i.e. no vocals

Hi Simon

Dave Moore has recently uploaded this in the Refosoul Library

Backstreet less girlies - funks -ric tic

The Released Version on the B Side of the Vocal had the girly backing

The Back Streets instrumental Guy used to play. Is an completly different take to the flip on of the Ric Tic single. It was from an unreleased studio disc, he and Chris King found in Detroit
