The unfortunate thing for records like 'The Snake' is that they become synonomous with the general public as being the epitomy of Northern Soul. It's happened to DILY-Frank Wilson aswell. Of course, both of those records where big on the scene at times but as we all know they do not represent the Northern Soul scene to those of us who have sweated our pants off at many an allnighter/dayer.
It's all about that moment when you're sat there at a Christening/Wedding/Auntie's 100th Birthday Bash, etc, etc, when the damned DJ puts it on the decks. Auntie taps you on the shoulder and says, "Hey up love, are you not showing us your dancing? It's that Northern Soul you like."
