Mark Bicknell Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Ricky Allen - It's A Mess I Tell You B/W Skate Boogaloo - Bright Star 150 - A stunning hidden gem of a flip to the latin influenced top side, this classy sleeper of a tune is just waiting to burst onto turntables nationwide, any record with the Jack Daniels and Johnny Moore written and production skills connection is a good start of it's quality and a sure fired winner of a tune, mid 60's Chicago Soul of the very highest order, proper pounding Northern Soul which won't break the bank, I wager there are a few copies out there waiting to be snapped up for under fifty quid, I'm sure someone will post a sound file on this one but trust me it rocks!!!!!!! A regular spin in the 'Soul Shack' of late which seems to have hit the spot with listeners. Regards - Mark Bicknell. Edited August 3, 2008 by Mark Bicknell
Pat Wallace Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 I love the track Mark and could go with some plays, although I did play it about 3 years ago with no real response. One that could go up in value. Pat Wallace

Guest bradcam Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Love the Johnny & Jake version on Mod as well. Great flip too.
Haydn Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 With you on this one, brilliant! Slipped it in during R&B set at the Belmont and went down a treat. Probably get another airing at the 'nighter. H
