Love this song...thanks SO much for posting this!!! It's next to impossible to find and even more difficult to hear on the radio...it sounds so great!
The quality isn't terrible,,it was recorded that way. I like the echo and garage band sound.If you want "perfect" overprocessed tunes then look no further than the crap today,,enough said.Want a real scratchy sounding song from 1971?? look up an original 45 of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Mack and Katie Kissoon,,good song,,but horrible fidelity. Middle Of the Road version from 71 is much much better. Jeff K.
Takes me back to the mid 60's, dancing at the Discoteque in Streatham, which is where we seemed to live in those bad old days. FANTASTIC Funk/Soul. Mick C.
Blimey! There were around 10 to 30 of our lot, all Streatham and Brixton kids. I think we'd be more than 50% of the crowd most nights. We probably know all the same 'usual suspects'. My mates started to go 'Up West' but I got involved with girls in various places and eventually married a wonderful girl from Wimbledon. Still going strong (37 years) but also still rocking, when the kids let me. Mick C.
i was from croydon but going out with a streatham boy, mick gumbrill..when we broke up that was when all my croydon mates and i started to go up to the scene, flamingo etc..happy days! i'm living in cyprus now but will never ever forget those exciting times..yvonne
This record would be truly incredible but for two factors that put me off...the fact that it is live and that double beating tosh...spoils what is possibly, that aside...one of my fave records
There is indeed a non-released, promotional version of the original recording which 1) loses the fake live audience and 2) the reverb, bringing you right into the hot song. I heard the first 1 minute of this version on a radio program on soul music and dealing with Shirley Ellis. Needless to say, the non-audience/no reverb version is AWESOME!
I've just spent an hour trying to ferret out my copy of 'Nitty Gritty' by Charlie n Inez Fox and can't find it. If anybody's got it handy, do me a favour and post it would you?!
Loved this song!!
