Great Northern Soul Tracks

[kingrollo]

Going out on a limb with this one - have never heard this played when out at various dances etc - and it lives in the shadow of Ghost in my house - love this track

Ponte Carlo for us - Kiosk Ballroom in Cas and I forget the name of the club in Pontefract.

Anyway, here's a bit of R Dean Taylor:

Baby Washington did this as well, but I've plumped for this as it's more uptempo.

I'm surprised it took so long to be mentioned!

Isn't this meant to be one of the most expensive 7" singles in the world, for an original copy?






With the hand-claps too?

I'll admit this is my 2nd favourite version, after Dave Philips & The Hot Rod Gang (80's British rockabilly)


In one of his excellent books (I think it's in....) 'Cider With Roadies', Stuart Maconie professes & eulogises at length about his love of Northern Soul, & Wigan Casino

The great Russ Winstanley discovered it ,just one pressing!!
