Although this was played in the Northern Soul clubs in the mid-70s .... really it was one of the first Modern Soul records and one of the records that created the schism between the two scenes in the UK at the time.Most Northern records were cut in the early and mid 60s.... whereas this was made in 1973 so would have been a contemporary tune at the time - the purists within NS didn't approve of it.It's a great record which ever way you look at it. It was used on a TV advert sometime in the late 2000s which probably accounts for this reissue.
