It’s
great to have The Moment back with us after the great releases and gigs they
left us with from the mid-eighties – along with Makin’ Time and The Prisoners,
The Moment were one of the best bands of that time.
With
Adrian Holder and Robert Moore back together and with Boys Wonder &
Corduroy sticksman, Ben Addison, on the drum stool for this release, we are
treated to ‘Goodbye Tuesday’ c/w ‘Good To Be Around’ on this new 7” vinyl
release from Heavy Soul Records.
I know
‘Goodbye Tuesday’ well, having released Adrian’s solo version several years ago
on my Biff Bang Pow compilation, ‘Shimmy’. What we get here is a great Mod pop
song with a strong Motown/Northern feel to it and a great hook line that will
have you singing along to it straight away. A song with the feel good factor.
The
flip, ‘Good To Be Around’ is another pacey/bouncy number, jointly written by
all three band members, which could easily have been an A-side in its own
right. Guitar and organ led, Ben’s comments at the end of the recording
(encouraging further sales within your family) is a tongue in cheek pastiche
from his Boys Wonder days. Nice.
Overall,
a tremendous release from a great band. Get yourself over to the Heavy Soul web
shop now to get your copy before this limited edition release has sold out –
you only have a Moment!
