Checkerboard Squares/ Tandels - Double Cookin / Is It Love Baby?

Seven inch vinyl pressing. The Checkerboard Squares' 'Double Cookin' is a byword for the Northern Soul all-nighters of the 70s, when several hundred dancers would hit the beat and clap in unison to the spirited instrumental. Kent's discovery of two vocal versions of the song shook the rare soul world in the noughties and we feature the Tandels' all-girl take on a song they had already recorded to a more basic arrangement on the obscure Jam-Cha label.
