Nothing But a Heartache is a stone-cold favorite dancefloor filler of mine and Stu's. I don't remember if I had heard it before he played it for me, but I've heard it many, many times at his sets at Key Bar and everywhere else. (It's also available on my favorite box set, "One Kiss Can Lead to Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost and Found").
Those first monster piano chords, that faux-Motown bass part, and those horns, wow! It may be a Northern Soul classic, but as the guy on this youtube introduction to the song says, the production on this record is top, top class.
The best song EVAH.
LISTEN.
