70s BRITISH NORTHERN SOUL/CROSSOVER
ORIGINAL U.K. ISSUE
SMOULDERING FEMME REMAKE OF THE CLASSICS IV HIT
THE FINE FEATURES INCLUDE NEAT FINGER-CLICKING BREAKS AND A TENOR SAX SOLO
LATER FEATURED PROMINENTLY IN THE FILM LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS
RECORDED IN THE U.K. AND NEVER GIVEN A U.S. RELEASE AT THE TIME
MANY THOUGHT THAT "SPOOKY" WAS COMMERCIAL ENOUGH TO ENJOY A-SIDE STATUS
INSTEAD IT WAS THE B-SIDE OF A BEAUTIFUL VERSION OF THE YOUNG RASCALS' "HOW CAN I BE SURE" (WHICH ITSELF WAS A BLATANT STEAL FROM LOU RAWLS' "IT'S YOU")
DUSTY'S TAKE RETAINS THE LAZY CHAMPS-ELYSEE ATMOSPHERE OF THE FELIX CAVALIERE/EDDIE BRIGATTI-PENNED ORIGINAL, AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY A DAMNES SIGHT BETTER THAN THE LATER DAVID CASSIDY TEENY HIT REMAKE

The record dates from the period when many British labels had large U.S./jukebox-style centres, made to be used with a plastic adaptor or "spider"
This record has been played on both sides to verify condition, but there's a full money-back guarantee on all my sales, and I'll refund anyone who isn't totally captivated. Most are sent by 'signed for' delivery.
