Description

The fimest copy I've encountered this century!

No matter what superlatives or phrases I conjure up to review this original first press, utterly worshipped Northern Soul anthem, it will never be sufficient to fully convey how loved, how important and how precious this 45 is to the Northern Soul community.

The combination of that most-memorable bassline intro ever and the richly endowed vocal of Claude "Dusty" Williams makes for arguably the GREATEST start to Northern Soul anthem of them all...A record woven into the very fabric of the Northern Soul scene for over 5 decades, a recording that has influenced every dancer, collector, DJ, dealer across the globe; ever since their very first encounter with this Gino Washington conducted master-class in Detroit Soul. Even after 50 + years of being a top-tune; that pounding introduction still sends shivers of delight through anyone meeting its muscular charms.

Its reputation, its unparalleled street kudos and the need for ownership could not be stronger than it is today, even decades after it was first discovered.

You will not need reminding that the opportunity to acquire this legendary disc is outrageously challenging, a rare event indeed...

A Detroit legacy that will live in the hearts of the Northern Soul collective for an eternity....

Note: outside the UK delivery is |£50 by FED EX express.
