The Tempest Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Just Love this record , but curious about who discovered / played it first ? First heard it at Stafford , BUT was that the first venue it was played or last year at Wigan ?
Pete S Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I didn't think it was ever played anywhere, thought it was just a collectors record. Was it definitely played at Stafford? It was on my wants list, Gene R got me my first one, that would be 88-89 maybe a year later, it was £25 then, when I sold it 2 years later I said someone ought to take a gamble on this, I got £60 for it, cut to 5 years later, it's gone to £100, then £200 and so on. I've had 3 issues and 2 demos since, tough record though.
Benji Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 It definitely was played in Scotland at some time in the past. I can remember the playlist for a scottish allnighter printed in Shades of Soul early 90s. Reason why I remember that so well is that ML didn't really fit in with all the US stuff on that playlist. Nice record, very atmospheric but more quality pop than Northern IMO
The Tempest Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 Yep definetly played at Stafford , tape is from 16/03/85 , track listing attached
Marc Forrest Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 WHITE isnt he that mr lloyd ? Yes, and an old mod tune as well. Somebody not that young from Manchester once told me it was played at the Twisted Wheel as well back in the day.
Gilly Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I had a copy when it was'nt that well known,swopped a Blue Jays Points Of View(that cost me 35p) i think the deal was with Paul Temple many years ago. regards Gilly and Nicola
Guest Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Jim Eddleston made it a big northern tune at the 100club.

Pete S Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Yes, and an old mod tune as well. Somebody not that young from Manchester once told me it was played at the Twisted Wheel as well back in the day. He's dreaming.

NEV Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 WHITE isnt he that mr lloyd ? Might have known you'd chip in with that one Shep Ur distaste with white soul singers disturbs me ,but then again i asked Tim Brown if he could give me some info on the DC MAGNATONES 45 He replied " i once had it but found out they were white and got rid of it" What's wrong with White soul singers ?? Tom Jones is fantastic is he not
Guest Eddies Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Steve Smith played it at every opportunity during the 80's....Stafford, Bretby, in fact anywhere he was let loose behind the decks... Yep..remember Steve playing this and also have a tape he did for me with this on Mid 80's Ed
Dave Pinch Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Steve Smith played it at every opportunity during the 80's....Stafford, Bretby, in fact anywhere he was let loose behind the decks... this is 100% right. steve played it to death mid to late 80`s. got a tape with it on from then. also remember jim playing it just after around yorkshire and lincolnshire in particular and chris holmes played it regularly as well dave Edited October 23, 2009 by dave pinch

Sjclement Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Just Love this record , but curious about who discovered / played it first ? First heard it at Stafford , BUT was that the first venue it was played or last year at Wigan ? When did the boot appear? I recall the B side had some appeal
Sjclement Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Yep definetly played at Stafford , tape is from 16/03/85 , track listing attached MY LITTLE RED BOOK BURT BACHARACH !!!!!!!!! I left northern soulin the late 70s and got into jazz and all the other stuff (rare groove, easy ,blue note etc.) I had this album I seem to recall the vocalist was a "hero" Did it ever go?
Rob Wigley Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Garry Churm found a Parlaphone demo which he carried about in his sales box at Wigan casino- dont think he ever sold it-so he may still have it --any clues Attic Boys / Rob
Simsy Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Garry Churm found a Parlaphone demo which he carried about in his sales box at Wigan casino- dont think he ever sold it-so he may still have it --any clues Attic Boys / Rob Not quite an Attic boy, but I don't think Garry's got that anymore Rob. Had this on tape 84/85. Mate got an ex demo at a bootsale 2/3 years back - 50p. Bastard.
Mark Oliver Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Yep..remember Steve playing this and also have a tape he did for me with this on Mid 80's Ed Edwin Remember the same tape, got a demo copy around the same time off Ade for £30. Great record and seemed to still be a collectors record at the time, until Steve kept pushing it. Steve still have the tapes that you did, some great semi-knowns / unknowns. Mark
KevH Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Not quite an Attic boy, but I don't think Garry's got that anymore Rob. Had this on tape 84/85. Mate got an ex demo at a bootsale 2/3 years back - 50p. Bastard. Garry's very much an Attic Boy Ian - unless you know something i don't .Haa..just read it again,,,, Garry's got a Mark Lloyd issue,(anyone mention the other side getting plays?),and his sales box now contains quite a few Ken Dodd & Diddymen (pic sleeve) 45's. As you can imagine,he's moved on since the Parlophone demo's. Edited October 26, 2009 by KevH

As you can imagine,he's moved on since the Parlophone demo's. No sorry mate, meant I wasn't/not yet an Attic boy.. Surprised GC still has that - Jealous.. Believe you about Ken Dodd Sorry for off topic-ness. Mark Loyd still a quality sound and still a regular spin for Mick Smith @ the 100 Club.
