New 7" re-issueIt's featuring one of the best Northern Soul records recorded. Originally heard on a Miami Radio station WBCKO by Soul DJ Ian Levine in 1973, he then spent many months chasing a copy as it had turned out the promo only 45 never got to the release stage owing to the distribturs, Chess, going out of business. Levine eventually got a copy from Soul Bowl record dealer John Anderson in the UK. Levine introduced the track to his Blackpool Mecca crowd, telling them in advance it was not tradtional Northern Soul, and begging them to give it a chance. They went mad for it. It was the eureka moment that led to the introduction of contemporary recordings to the Northern scene, and led to a war for supremacy between Blackpool Mecca (Seventies) and Wigan Casino (Sixities).
