Simon, This really is a load ot talking loud and saying nothing fella......Plenty of us were there at WC and plenty of us seemingly enjoyed the film as a film, innacuracies and all. If you want a documentary you have: This England - but that got messed up didn't it. And we were campaigning against it at the time - if you were there you would remember how controversial it was The Strange World of NS - but others criticise that Loads of TV clips from over the years - good bad and indifferent Trouble is whoever makes a documentary about NS it is only ever going to be from their perspective and others will say it's not how it was, it missed the 80s whatever. If you think you can do better, then go for it! Anyway it's Wigan it's nearly 40 years ago, frankly many of us have moved on a bit. Reference point indeed! Please be realistic. Steve

Dave I think the acetate only contains the side "Ordinarily". The other two known copies are both issues, probably never demo'd.

Agreed. Great radio tune though! Think I got mine in West Palm Beach some years ago. It was cheap ($8) but from a collector who likes sweet / deep etc ......

This will put the cat amongst the pigeons with a few.... Saw it at Leicester Square the other night and enjoyed it. As soul couple has said above a straight forward love story set against a northern soul back cloth. It wasn't really an accurate reprersentation of the Casino in some ways, but it was an enjoyable enough film. Would watch it again when it gets onto TV.

Loads of people playing it Marc. Sorry to burst your balloon

Yes but what I mean Nick is that it's never really been that popular. I know it's been championed, played etc. but interest in it has always been slightly eclectic IMHO

Yup, just checked my copy....if John found 100 copies there, that's probably a large part of the press that got 'dumped'. Am really glad that this record is so highly thought of, it'll have it's day one day.

The label is from Nashville or Knoxville will have to check att home.

Very cheap for these days. They were white I think? (not 100% sure) but a cracking record nonetheless.

A real shame she is being so big headed.

Amalgamated Funk Co had a nice ballad Also Total Unity on a DT related label?/ Can search em out if anyone is interested.....Steve

Agree 100% with Sean - good records / bad records - we are obsessed with pidgeonholing them all the time I think the baggage the UK scene carries around it's shoulders is collosal. Must be nice not to have it all Rosie's Dad.

Just thought I'd post up that am guesting on Solar's SOUL PEOPLE show, Sunday 5th Septmeber. 10 am - 12 noon. This is my first show on Solar. Will be playing some sweet soul,slower end stuff (well it is Sunday morning so no need for headbangers) mid tempo 80s, steppers and crossover. All of the highest quality - Yo! .......Steve

A lot of the T Jaye copies came to the UK at the time of release. Hi Tyde did as well but was only ever in limited quantity. So it's one of those like David Sea on Crown Intl or Roy Dawson on Coemands, which are far easier to find in the UK, than in the US. I agree it's a lovely tune. Cheap too. Now if it had a northern beat.....

Thankx Godz

Nice one. Well done Andy Davies......

What page of Saturday's Guardian was this on please?

Excellent northern. It's a top 500 tune that I don't get overly tired of. Probably because of that sinister sounding backing track....

Not turned up in quantity as far as I am aware. Saw one at Prestatyn in March.

Hello Mark, I remember Move they were from Edinburgh and put out a lot of indies that had become popular with the modern crowd at the time, this one included. Generally I found the sound quality on Move releases to be not so good though....better off with a US original

Gotta agree fantastic northern.....

Think I've got a spare - need to check. It's on a light brown label as I recall.

7" orig came out on Hy Tide then reissued on Ted Jarrett's T Jaye label. Hy Tide is rarer, T Jaye should be quite easy to pick up. Steve

Looks great
