Always presumed this was the side for Chris Hamilton. Could benefit from being pitched down a bit, played it at home on 33 by mistake and thought it was a good beat ballad!

Two more slightly random choices, just looking through a box . . . Ben and Spence is well worth a spin: And Ellie Greenwich can do no wrong for me;

Whilst I think this sounds just as good today . . . .

Very much of its time but a soft spot in my memory for this.

Already mentioned I know, and not difficult of course, but for those like me who thrive on labels and looks.

So often heard Don Gardner version but this doesn't seem to be on the radar, perhaps too similar.

The less obvious one! (Plus I don't have the other)

1 minute 51 seconds of guilty pleasure!

2 buy it now on ebay but sorry both on re-issue Underground label not United Artist

2 more Mitch Ryder tunes played in the past:

Great home play, but I'm a sucker for the big beat ballad these days:

Label pic for those interested:

Often overlooked but personally I think it's got Latino / Soul dance legs: Thinking of which - never seen an issue?

Peronal favourite. Better known (I think) for the Hang Up The Phone side, but I much prefer Any Kind Of Love. Was going to sell issue when I picked up the promo but they go so cheap not worth selling, prefer to double up on this one.

The Flip side of Ron Holden is well worth a play, overlooked in the uptempo day of its fame but sounding good now:

Expert enough Steve, always thought small writing was a legitimate '73 re-issue, had this since school I think!? But then found that legit re-issue should have Nashville stamp and this hasn't. Booted re-issue?

Hi Barry, flip of Take Me to Paradise isn't it. Not scarce (doesn't warrant book/list price of £60 - £100 IMO), but will add it is one of those curious records that most copies are Vg or less. There are plenty around but hard to locate in Ex or better. Gave one to Kev H many moons ago (can't recall if it was issue or demo) but think that was VG at best. Hope all's well, Dean

Of it's time but fond memories (with Nashville matrix): Sounding dated but was Northern once-upon-a-time Not sure about this! Looks like legit 1973 re-press but no Nashville matrix that I can see? Were these issues booted?

I'm that mate. Held off mentioning for a while as I didn't want to affect WANT. When Steve L got his I started searching, In about 3-4 years on ebay didn't see one. Mark Bicknell had one for sale at about £100 (about 3 years ago) if memeory serves well. Was regretting not buying that one. Saw one on a lsit at £50 (think it was Anglo American but not sure) phoned and was told could have sold 10 times over. I'm not sure I think it was 40 - 50 on Chris Andertons which was a bargain. If you want one I'd make Franc an offer, don't see many.

Less of a joke -

Only posting as a label curiosity . . . unless of course you want it, in which case it's an exclusive hard to find dance floor monster, just right for today's scene

Oooh those Attic nights!

Bit of a marmite record, at the moment I like it but if I heard it out twice I'd soon go off it!

SteveL - if we ever do that oldies dance spot, I'll have this. From where it began for me:
