I'll dig out what takes I have. I never really compared them to be honest when compiling the podcast. Not sure about the acetate, years since I ve seen it.

Its been awhile since the last one but I have been busy chasing the DJ's to put together these podcasts and make them as accurate as possible. I finally managed to corner Ady and together with a little help from others we've managed to come up with one and a half hours of what Ady played back in the early days of Stafford. Totally across the board as you would expect, some late Yate spins, few Wigan "oldies" and Stafford newies in the mix.

Adam will be the focus of the next set of podcasts, enough material to compile three podcasts and the majority of it will be Modern Soul from back in the day.

The Guy and Keb ones will be interesting. I have to confess that I never really learnt to appreciate the "60's newies" offerings of the pair - in fact I despaired at them, really didn't like them at all. I guess there might be room for some debate there - although I'm pretty certain that we have done that one before.

Interesting to hear some views though. I had a bad name for both Guy and Keb at the time - influenced by my take on their playlists.

I'm loving the podcasts & the you youtube links from soul echoes, The Tempests is just sublime.

Unfortunately I missed this entire period completely, have retired after Wigan (before the end actually), got into football & beer, but the music broken here sounds just great.

A friend of mine & collector (Jeff Boardman from Warrington) had his best days here he always reckons, I think he may be right, looks like a golden period.

Cheers Aid, glad you are enjoying them. Loads more to come yet. I've no more prepared yet so might be a few weeks.

I'm just waiting on Guy for a bit of info and if he comes good this week he will be the next podcast, or at least one. Keb, Pat and Robin also in the pipeline, I've 100's of tracks for those 4.

As part of the Jubilee Celebrations....I'm actually trying to forget them :-) I'm pleased to announce a new podcast I've just uploaded, Stafford's Top of the World and the 6t's Mafia's Guy Hennigan and what was his first set at Stafford. It is as he planned it on the night and complete with second and in one case third spin for some of his 6t's Newies!! Enjoy, got a second set of Guy's to prepare, hopefully that will be uploaded during the Bank Holiday.

As part of the Jubilee Celebrations....I'm actually trying to forget them :-) I'm pleased to announce a new podcast I've just uploaded, Stafford's Top of the World and the 6t's Mafia's Guy Hennigan and what was his first set at Stafford. It is as he planned it on the night and complete with second and in one case third spin for some of his 6t's Newies!! Enjoy, got a second set of Guy's to prepare, hopefully that will be uploaded during the Bank Holiday.

Hi Chalky

Just looked again and The Memphians, should be 'South Memphis' not 'Breakdown', which did you put in the pod cast ??

Chuck holiday ,just superb.slant . . It was such a surprise hearing that vocal when i was expecting your love is getting stronger its been a revelation , I never went to any of the stafford nighters, but i realise now why it was revered .Its changed my perception of it really.Great work pulling all this together..

I agree Jason. Chalky has put together a piece of real musical and social history - something well worth recording. Absolutely great stuff - and must have taken a great deal of effort and time. I've already saluted the man - but thanks again Chalky.

Peter

Chalky, just have say a big big thank you for all the Stafford podcasts. Being brought up on a diet of post-Stafford-late 80s-early 90s-100 club kind of Northern Soul TOTW seems like THE allnigher I wish I could have attended.

Thanks for the comments they are appreciated. It is nice to know what you are doing is appreciated by others :thumbup:

I have however re-recorded the first podcast of Guy's. On his notes he had Crazy Crazy down alongside Jo Jo Petite instead of Joey and I included Little Jeanette instead of Jo Jo Petite "Joey". I've now rectified that for the sake of accuracy :)
