The Feel It Advent-ure 2024: Door 4


Here's Little Milton again, and it won't be the last of his this month.

I put this one on my want list a couple of years ago now. I would have had to have paid £20 - £25 for a copy in the UK and there aren't that many about. So, although this has seen some plays, I was happy to find it for $3.

This one hits a groove and doesn't let up. I would have thought it would have been a staple on the Northern Soul and Mod scene but it only seems to be semi-known.     

Checker had a number of label designs down the years. It is generally accepted that the silver on red one here lasted from 1957 to 1965. It was superceded briefly by the "checkerboard" design but by 1966 a more basic blue design had taken over. I have seen copies of this single on all three designs. Any on the red label must have been using up old label stock.
