FIRST HEARING:
Released in the early 1970s, a CD re-issue from one of the most popular bands of the day.
The dance list is interesting with a few that will be 'new' to the modern dancer but were, no doubt, popular at the time.
No players are listed but we guess this is maybe a 5-piece as it's quite a full and lively sound.
Have a listen.
