Description:The Dansette was mentioned to me a while ago chatting to some lovely folk from Wigan over in Blackpool Soul Suite, intrigued I looked it up but it had not presented itself as part of a painting until now. I came across recently an article in the Independent about this song and the story is fascinating about it being a bit of a myth that it was ever released on the London label, but apparently it was revealed on Soul Source that indeed a copy did exist, that maybe a worker at the record label half inched it before they were all destroyed as they didn't own the copyright to it. I LOVE these stories!
