I first heard this superlative journey into vocal-group Northern Soul as a 1974 new release on a Thursday Night @ The Lacano, Leicester when Blackpool Mecca regulars Paul Rudzitis and mutual friend "Shelvo" played it.
Shelvo's told me Colin Curtis thought t was the best record he'd ever heard, I've never been a sycophant but I had to agree this was one stand-out tune with no comparable. This copy that pair were flaunting was an ISSUE, I was informed it was a USA new release Colin Curtis has gleaned from somewhere.
The "I'll get one then" - statement has never been so misunderstood or more inaccurate; as it was perhaps a decade before I saw a STOCK copy again. Why such sheer brilliance never sold a bean, I'll never know. All I know are two things..
in this format it is an iconic example of rare soul collecting.
As a record, it is along with "The Carstairs - It Really Hurts Me Girl" defines a course changing moment in the history, not only of "The Blackppol Mecca" but also the Northern Soul Scene as the "modern" sound became another string to pluck on the Northern Soul harp.
PS for me one of the most-perfect-of-tunes I've ever heard.. so much so "The Lacarno" experience and the time wasted trying to order a copy, seems like only yesterday.
