Background

The song was written by Lord Large. The recording came about as a result of a bass playing friend of his, Steve Walters mentioning that Foundations singer Clem Curtis was his unofficial godfather. Curtis's status in British 60's soul and "Baby, Now That I've Found You" being one of the top ten favorites of Large and his drummer / producer friend Jones, had a part in it. Curtis liked it enough to come down from his home near Milton Keynes to East London to record it. The song was first released on 2Bit, a label created by Large and Jones. The release got airplay on Radio 2 with the act credited as "Lord Large featuring Clem Curtis". Acid Jazz picked it up with an offer to put an album out with Curtis and recordings by other potentially classic singers.[1][2] The song backed with "Move Over Daddy" would be released on Acid Jazz AJX 174 S in 2005. [3]

In a review of Lord Large's The Lord's First XI album, Record Collector referred to the song as a slice of breezy, upbeat soul so authentic that it sounded like it was recorded in the late 1960s.[4] It was also one of the three songs referred to by Mojo as the highlights of the album. Mojo also said that it was the perfect Northern Soul dance floor filler.[5]

In addition to its inclusion on The Lord's First XI,[6][7] the song appears on the various artists compilation albums, Hammond Street, Vol. 3, released on Acid Jazz AJXCD 195 in 2008[8] Dig the New Breed: Singles From the New Millennium album, released on Acid Jazz 233 in 2010,[9] and Modern Northern Soul on Acid Jazz AJXCD 376 in 2015.[10][11]

gollark: Personally, my suggested climate-change-handling policies:- massively scale up nuclear fission power, it's just great in most ways- invest in better rail infrastructure - maglevs are extremely cool™ and fast™ and could maybe partly replace planes?- electric cars could be rented from a local "pool" for intra-city transport, which would save a lot of cost on batteries- increase grid interconnectivity so renewables might be less spotty- impose taxes on particularly badly polluting things- do research into geoengineering things which can keep the temperature from going up as much- increase standards for reparability; we lose so many resources to randomly throwing stuff away because they're designed with planned obsolecence- a very specific thing related to that bit above there - PoE/other low-voltage power grids in homes, since centralizing all the AC→DC conversion circuitry could improve efficiency, lower costs of end-user devices, and make LED lightbulbs less likely to fail (currently some of them include dirt-cheap PSUs which have all *kinds* of problems)
gollark: You can get AR-ish things which just display notifications or something.
gollark: You can get limited AR glasses (nice ones you may want to actually wear as everyday ones) now, but it's expensive and not popular.
gollark: Yes, that might be interesting.
gollark: Probably more extreme weather and floods.
