“Went to this, it was a couple of days before my 40th birthday - special guests were Keith Rylatt and Phil Scott who were just about to publish 'Central 1179', the definitive book on the club and Dave Godin, who allegedly christened the Northern Soul scene at the Wheel back in the day, of course.

“Much maligned in the history of Manchester punk/new wave, but history is written by the victorious as the saying goes...
This single (A and B) still stands nose to nose with anything that came out in 1977 for sheer energy!”
