The second of two Northern Soul classics reissued on 7" vinyl from Outta Sight is Little Anthony & The Imperials with "Better Use Your Head" and "Gonna Fix You Good (Everytime You’re Bad)".
Both sides were originally released as separate singles on Veep in 1966 and also both written by Teddy Randazzo and Victoria Pike and appeared on their "Payin' Our Dues" album.
Like the Garnet Mimms double-sider, both sides here failed to make any impact on the R&B chart although "Gonna Fix You Good" was an early spin at Manchester's Twisted Wheel club and "Better Use Your Head" was a huge sound all over the country in 1975 which is arguably the year Northern Soul really peaked with weekly all-nighters at Wigan Casino, Cleethorpes Pier and St Ives (was Yate going by this time as well?) and of course Blackpool Mecca's Highland Room before the modern soul 'split'.
