Life – Tell Me Why / That's Life (Reprise Records ‎REP 1185, 1973)

Un morceau qui vous laisse un gout sucré dans la bouche : un bonbon acidulé qui pétille; vos papilles qui frétillent; des choeurs qui fondent au creux de mon oreille ! Légèreté, oh légèreté quand tu nous tiens !

Un BLACKPOOL MECCA CLASSIC !

UP !
Avec un petit texte dithyrambique de John Manship :

"I first heard this superlative journey into vocal-group Northern Soul as a 1974 new release on a Thursday Night @ The Lacano, Leicester when Blackpool Mecca regulars Paul Rudzitis and mutual friend "Shelvo" played it.
Shelvo's told me Colin Curtis thought t was the best record he'd ever heard, I've never been a sycophant but I had to agree this was one stand-out tune with no comparable.
As a record, it is along with "The Carstairs - It Really Hurts Me Girl" defines a course changing moment in the history, not only of "The Blackppol Mecca" but also the Northern Soul Scene as the "modern" sound became another string to pluck on the Northern Soul harp.
PS for me one of the most-perfect-of-tunes I've ever heard.. so much so "The Lacarno" experience and the time wasted trying to order a copy, seems like only yesterday."

Content qu'il inclue les Carstairs dans sa liste des morceaux monstrueux... ça fait des années que je surkiffe leur 45t... Celui-là n'est pas pourri non plus... Mais bon il y a en plus l'histoire dramatique des Carstairs qui me fait le placer en tête...
