Easily one of the best Northern Soul "discoveries" ever. (Catacombs again!) Kev Roberts should have put it at 'No.1' in his Top 500 book though, in my opinion! ;-)
In a purely objective rationalisation one may dismiss the possibility of recordings being "better" than each other.......... but then again. The Sapphires got their arse kicked!!!!
Very interesting. Did not know both the Sapphires and this group recorded the tune for the same label, ABC-Paramount, and didn't know this group (also from Philadelphia, like the Sapphires), eventually became Honey & the Bees.
The Sapphires although very nearly the same tune/take etc. is far better vocally.... but as our scene thrives on the different and homegrown,produced in your toilet, when your mother turned her back, type rarieties... in a big room this gets the vote!!

This actually has a 1964 release date I think! Amazing. The official A-Side was written by Ashford & Simpson and Joshie Armstead by the way.
