The Moment – ‘Goodbye Tuesday’ 7” (Heavy Soul)



 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!
