Alice Clark – You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me) b/w The Devonnes – I Couldn’t Build A World (With You On The Outside) – Kent 7″

‘You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me)’ says a lot about 60s Soul music in just the title. It’s about heartbreak, but set to a solid uptempo beat over an orchestral arrangement worthy of Phil Spector. It’s been a massive record since the 70s when first played to crowds of dancers, who can now ditch the dodgy sound of their Canterbury bootlegs. On the flip is the charming, unissued-on-vinyl, ‘I Couldn’t Build A World (With You On The Outside)’ by GWP stable-mates the Devonnes.
