I 'spose A Certain Ratio heard this tune dancing the night away at a Northern Soul function or some other hipster spot in Manchester, but they do a nice job with it. The tune they covered was only 5 years old and you'll see it in comments..
One-time Mancunian punk band turned dance punk formed mid-1977. Took their name from a lyric from the Brian Eno song "The True Wheel". Starting out on Factory Records alongside Joy Division. Their stuff can now be found reissued on Soul Jazz Records. Go check.
