As it's the first day of meteorological spring, here's a track released 50
years ago in March 1971 on the Spring label by, aptly named, 'Flower' Shoppe (how many more 'tenuous' links could I squeeze in?).
It was a big sound on the Northern Soul scene (around 75/76 if memory
serves correctly), which got a UK release on Polydor in 1972 and a reissue
in 1976 (which would suggest that is when it was popular). Many (now) think
it's a bit too 'poppy', but it's an upbeat, happy skip-a-long tune that was very popular at the time.
I don't think they are particularly rare, although there aren't many
currently for sale, but seem to be very hard to find on issue/stock copies
as I can't find a decent scan anywhere so checked on Popsike and there are
no stock copies listed (hence the promo scan).
