Dave Moore Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Roy Hamilton - Yellow DEMO? Nevers een one. The only ones I've seen/had were white with RED A. Can you post up a scan of the Yellow one? Or is it just a stocker with a sticker on?
Wiganer1 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 2 years ago i got a wd of muriel day for £85 from ebay... in gr8 condition and was well pleased with it.. would more people have liked it if muriel had been black?? still huge in its day!
Pete S Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Dave's right, no such thing as a yellow UK MGM demo - unless it's an issue with a not for sale sticker on, in which case it's worth no more than the issue
Godzilla Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 ...would more people have liked it if muriel had been black?? Would have made no difference whatsoever. The reason it attracts such derision is it's complete and utter bobbins. And that's coming from a member that recently got told off by Jocko on here for defending good white pop records Ever tried these, Mark...
Benji Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I bet you've had a boogie to it in the past I'm afraid not. Even if I had been old and english enough to actually hear it at Wigan Casino I wouldn't have danced to it. Not a good one even for a pop record. But yet highly collectable IMO because of its relevance to the Northern Soul scene in the 70s. I'm happy with my german issue complete with the ultra rare picture sleeve

Pete S Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Can't see how anyone can say Muriel day isn't a good pop record, it should have been an A side, it might have charted. As a Northern record - it has it's place, but that place is in a dark cupboard.

Pete S Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 ==== as always the dancefloor dictates with records..this was and always be a floor packer of a record...strange world of northern soul... I was there the first time this was played at Wigan, it was played again half an hour later, the next week everyone was talking about it and within 3 weeks it was the biggest record - people tend to forget or try to pretend we didn't play and like records like this, well we did and at the time it was alright, now it's not, no big deal.

Too true Pete, we also tend to forget or ignore the fact that BIG records played in the Casino, don't fit the bill today, and if you say you didn't dance to them, then you weren't there or couldn't dance, I danced my socks off to Muriel Day and spent a fortune buying a Page One demo back in the 70's, I still have it, it's what's called a memory and I'm not afraid to admit it, like some.
Godzilla Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) it's what's called a memory and I'm not afraid to admit it, like some. If you're referring to my comment, that's not the case. I thought it was rubbish at the time and that's nothing to do with selective memory. I enoyed my share of poppy stompers like most at the time and still have a copy of Harry Betts "Fantastic Plastic Machine" for example. Loads of people think that's a crap record too, so it's clearly not a matter of trying to look cool in hindsight. Just because some records were huge at Wigan doesn't mean that everyone liked them. Some just preferred different pop records.. I've also collected pop records since I was about 11 years old but still don't rate "Nine times out of Ten" at all, so it seems that it is possible that someone can say it's not a good pop record. It's not a good pop record. There. Said it. Edited October 22, 2009 by Godzilla

Could i please agree here. We were young and in love with those records...
