Out of all the Northern Soul I have ever heard this is right up there with my all-time favorites. Really hits home in my memories. Unfortunately, if I tried dancing and back dropping today I might dislocate my back and need the hip replacement readjusting. Just about manage a shuffle today but my head still says yeah do it. See you in the A and E
Oh my God, I've just listened to this for the first time in over 40 years. Love it!!! So many happy memories of dancing at 'The Place' in Stoke. This song and 'Footsie' are two of the best. Thanks for posting them.
LOVE this song so much.. and the best part is.. Jim McClusky (lead singer) was on a karaoke site i use and sang this for us on there.. made me smile so much! Best northern soul song ever!
I have been the same as well, especially at parties. By the way, are you the same Jayne Cooper that I once used to play with all of 50 years ago, daughter of Bill & Sheila originally of Northwood Park Road, Wolverhampton?
1975 on #mymusicalroadto50 Wigan’s Ovation - Skiing in the Snow Another one of my sisters singles. I was drawn more to the label than the actual music itself. Again a song which belonged in the 60’s and a quick wiki-look shows that it was indeed a re-recording of a song originally released in 1964.
My parents had this record when I was young. All I could remember was the song it title and the record label but not who recorded it. Thanks to the uploader for helping find me this song again.
You are so right DR Watson,The invitations version is one of the top 50 NORTHEN SOUL FLOOR FILLERS, MY favorite Invitations song though, is LOOK ON THE GOOD SIDE CLASSIC PHILLY SOUL!
+jane henson taylor yes I used to wait till I had had a couple of beers first ha ha. I will tell you another great song I used to play. it's called I've been hurt by guy Daryl
Sue brillant fergy . Not at all. Try Sat nights, BBC radio York. John Kane 6-8pm and see if I am a snake person. He is actually broadcast on all the local BBC stations on Saturday. And don't such be an NS snob. Too many already.
What's the "B" Side to this Please?..My Sister used to have this version on Spark but I can't remember what the "B" side is for the life of me..Cheers..:)

Northern Soul meets the Bay City Rollers!!!
This actually came out in spring 1975 after, the snow season. Their only hit, and it did get into the charts.

This brought back memories. Still got the single on the exact same “SPARK” label. Great song.

What a true classic of 1975 northern soul amazing
Not as good as the original...
This lovely song reminds me of being a carefree young teenager in 1975. Mobiles, Twitter, emails ????
Totally agree
Brings back happy memories.
A great song - and a particularly brilliant arrangement and superb vocal performance on this version.
Instant early '75 for me!

Took me right back to the very best times at the Wigan Casino

i so love his, few years ago at a holiday camp with kids and hubby, they played this, i was only one on the dance floor lol
I have been the same as well, especially at parties. By the way, are you the same Jayne Cooper that I once used to play with all of 50 years ago, daughter of Bill & Sheila originally of Northwood Park Road, Wolverhampton?
Can't stop listening to this song, so good ktf 😊😎🤗🤩
Northern Soul meets the Bay City Rollers!!!
Wow! Memories of the snowy spring of 1975 and third-year school discos.
Im nearly 61 still a classic
a lot of people dont know this tune
I don't care that this song was manufactured to be a northern soul song...It really works for me...GREAT SONG
Just thinking that before I played it.
Wasn't it originally by the Invitations?
Originally released by The Beach Girls (also known as The Rag Dolls) in 1964, and then by The Invations in 1965
Manufactured? Well, it's a damn good product!
My favourite ❤
Thanks for posting song. wigans ovation brill. brings back some very fond memories, best version eva.
Heard this very loud in a pub tonight sounded fantastic
Here we go listening to it again ktf. 🤩😊😎🤗

This came out as a Double AA single personally on flip side love it 👍😍

Used to work with the bass player from WO, always played down his time in the lime light
Fantastic song 👌

Remind me of dancing to northern soul in the headland in early 80s we may not had a lot but we knew about fun with lovely girls lol
Just brilliant thanks for sharing
I was 12years old when this came out.
Me too I love this and footsee and 7 days is too long by Chuck wood
1975 on #mymusicalroadto50
Wigan’s Ovation - Skiing in the Snow
Another one of my sisters singles.
I was drawn more to the label than the actual music itself.
Again a song which belonged in the 60’s and a quick wiki-look shows that it was indeed a re-recording of a song originally released in 1964.
First day of lockdown 2.... Who's still listening in Nov 2020..
I have been looking for this for years but couldn't remember what it was called. Wow, thanks!

My parents had this record when I was young. All I could remember was the song it title and the record label but not who recorded it. Thanks to the uploader for helping find me this song again.

Northern Soul meets the Bay City Rollers!!!
You are so right DR Watson,The invitations version is one of the top 50 NORTHEN SOUL FLOOR FILLERS, MY favorite Invitations song though, is LOOK ON THE GOOD SIDE CLASSIC PHILLY SOUL!
This si the sort of thing that brings Northern Soul into disrepute. I love the Invitations and this was just a typical cash in.
IMO A better version too. albeit not the original but it didn’t do any harm to Wigan Casino. I think it made it more popular.
Can't stop listening to this song so good ktf 🤩😊😎🤗
Lov it❤
I love this song Duffy mercy
my all time fav xxxx
primary school memories
Tosh and up there with The Snake as awful NS.
Classic northern soul

+jane henson taylor yes I used to wait till I had had a couple of beers first ha ha. I will tell you another great song I used to play. it's called I've been hurt by guy Daryl

Not heard that I don't think..Shall play it later and give you my opinion :-)
+jane henson taylor yes please it's a northern soul record I got it requested a lot
Brilliant Sound
Love this song so good ktf 🤩😊😎🤗
When everyone refers to Northern Soul they never play this. I've got the single and love it.
Iaten to 0.16...sounds like the beginning of 'Love really hurts without you' by Billy Ocean
Takes me back to my first girlfriend, Kathryn, April 1975. So long ago.
This song reminds me of wanting to take a girl named Yvette to ski in the Rockies (Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, or Utah).
It's going to snow in Nottingham tomorrow this is going on TikTok with one of my videos
Sandy lane yoth club oh what times😂
top nights at billy forom smashing my boty to bits on the ice danceing to the ovation top times

2023
Top tune
Wheres the footage of this.was on TOTP2 years ago.someone find it.Steven Boswell.edinburgh
👍👍👍👍soul classic !!!!!!!
Sue brillant fergy . Not at all. Try Sat nights, BBC radio York. John Kane 6-8pm and see if I am a snake person. He is actually broadcast on all the local BBC stations on Saturday. And don't such be an NS snob. Too many already.
Sue brillant fergy .Sorry that was meant for Conner the comment before yours. Pressed wrong key.
classic soul
SHIT ! anyone that thinks this is Northern Soul has no clue
They looked like the wurzels,
@elvingtonred I echo your thoughts. What about the shite Soussan instrumentals? I am still in therapylol
As they have been since 1975 .
DITTO ktf 🤩😊😎🤗
Better than the original .....my opinion 😎
@samsonrottie hi, nooo man the invitations was much better but thats just my opinion-ktf
What's the "B" Side to this Please?..My Sister used to have this version on Spark but I can't remember what the "B" side is for the life of me..Cheers..:)
BE WITH ME TONIGHT
Northern soul dancer, I've got the record in My hand as I text.
Irvine Welsh brought me here

2022
prefer the other version pal ktf
@chylogurti Those were also shite!
Just listened to the Invitations skiing in the snow. In my opinion the wigan's ovation version is better.
Agreed...but the purists among we Northern Soul fans would probably spit on us in disgust...ha
Nah invitations classic sound wigans ovation good but no contest really. 😉
Me
Really shite, everything I started to hate about Wigan
