No, I moved to Knaresborough from Harrogate post-divorce. Lived there for five years and back in Harrogate now, still love Knaresborough of course and in fact lived not far from King James. Still remember all the skinny green legs going down the street :-)

Re: Footsie. I'll forgive you, for a lot of people it was their first introduction to Northern Soul, totally manufactured of course. It came out on the Pye Disco Demand label and they put a "real" NS record on the flipside in an attempt to give it some credibility. In fact, here it is:

Top choices DT. I know it sounds odd for a 60s track, but there is an extended version of Rita and The Tiaras. Keep them coming mate.

Same backing? Wasn’t there another classic with two women singers doing version on same track?

Sole claim to NS fame? Used to roadie for a rawk band. When they played Wigan Casino, long queues built up outside as the gear was packed in the van. All very orderly - many clutched small holdalls.

The Precisions - If This Is Love
