I'm a huge Joe Simon fan, but somehow I've had a hard time finding this one, so I had never heard the amazing flip, on which Simon sloughs off his Deep Soul persona and heads up an unstoppable Northern Soul dynamo. Yes, "The Girl's Alright..." will definitely win you fans if you spin it for a Northern Soul crowd! Note: This beautiful stock copy has very nearly Mint labels. The vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched, and the audio sounds close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
