oh.....my........god. I've trying to find this since 85....and here it is. And it still sounds fantastic. So many childhood memories. Can't believe it. Thanks so much for putting this up!!!!!
First heard this at carlton-bolling youth club in bradford +couldnt beleave my ears little did i know then that it would have such an influance on my life. Been a soulie ever since only now with knackerd knees KTF peaple....
@radiator0 bloody hell carlton bolling live right near that school !! i used to go thorpe edge youth club,then moved up to Italian club leeds rd , Then the old queens hall Bfd ,,Bee hive pub & Tavern in the town

I remember this record like it was yesterday at the Biddulph Town Hall discos in 1978/79. All the lads were wearing ridiculous 40 inch soul bags and Fred Perry T-shirts. Lol.
This is the first Northern tune I ever heard, still got it to this day and when things are a little strassed, this takes it all away, still makes me tap my feet and puts a huge smile on my face, think that's where the phrase "keep the faith" comes from...
My first Northern Soul single ,My Dad drove me all over to get this Ashton market ,Manchester underground ,,,finally got it in Reddish at discaette records ha ha happy days ...
I was instantly transported back to the youth club. It was the first time i had heard this track and it was brill. lads and lasses gliding about on the floor and the top half of the dj gliding about behind his decks (thats what it looked like anyway i am sure his feet and legs were going mental out of sight lol). first impressions last, and this one has and still does and always will. Thanks for posting it
I first heard this record in 79 when I went in to the army, didn't even know what northern soul was. but this tune has stuck in my head for 30 years, and i have made half hearted searches for it , but one click on you tube and there it is. and its not the only one. thanks you tube.
Shame you didn't go to Monday Night Palais circa 1974/75 kiwicat - You'd've had to dance to it there!! :o). I think you'll also find a lot of what you'd call Northern Soul wasn't good enough for the Soul world - hence the number of rare records around. anywho, KTF in Notts, eh!!
@mtimp We were indeed there in the Bali Hai Monday nights mtimp: Still didnt dance to it! Not clear on your meaning about what was good enough for the soul world as I think it goes without saying that the amount of rare stuff picked up as northern soul was indeed not right for the mainstream market,,Each to their own a?
@Kiwicat Yes, each to their own. Lot of 'snobbishness' about 'Northern Soul' if it ain't a balack guy wailing, it ain't Northern Soul!! Perhaps that's your perspective?? Personally, if you could dance to it, that was good enough for me. Hope you enjoyed spending your pocket money watching the rest of us having a good time :o). Regards.

THis was a dancers record.....hear it with a good bass system......I couldn't give a sh*t if some knob-heads say its pop.....if it got my hair tingling and my feet spinning it was NS......KTF.......and lighten up some of you....did you ever dance????
hucnall miners welfare disco monday night under 18's in 1978...we were all punk rockers but we all used to get on the floor to this one with all the soulies>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I was there at the Bournemouth Town hall disco in 1978! Id catch the #23 yellow bus from Boscombe on a Saturday nite and get a Kebab on the way home on Westover road. The best of times.
this is a great track,only found out today who it was buy , the last time i heard it was in 1978 ,under sixteens bournemouth town hall ,this was one of there anthems, thanks for putting it on
This is like several other Northern (un-Soulie) Soul numbers.....Bok to Bak, Many's the Slip etc.....yes they are probably shit in real terms.....but when the floor is full and everybody is going for it...those soaring violins, the hook, the clapping.....makes your hair stand on end!!!!!!!
