The Parliaments is almost the perfect example of Detroit Northern Soul, it has absolutely everything a Detroit tune should have from the sound to everyone playing on it and right down to the writing credits.
If it was rare it would be on everyone's wants list and most DJ play lists, same as Take it Baby would be.
I also used to love Blanche Carter, still really like it as a fantastic Girlie tune, but I have no Wigan snobbery to speak of as I only went once.
Just trying to balance the negative v positive slant of the thread
