SHEFFSOUL Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 THE THREE BEFORE 8 THREAD PROMPTED ME TO ASK...WHEN DID RUSS START PLAYING THEM..I SEEM TO REMEMBER FIRST HEARING 'I'M ON MY WAY' (DID RUSS PLAY THIS AS LAST RECORD FROM DAY ONE) THEN LATE 74 OR EARLY 75 TOBI LEGEND AS AN ENDER ( RUSS DID PLAY THIS AS A REGULAR SOUND ALSO) THEN FINALLY ' LONG AFTER' ANYONE REALLY REMEMBER THE TRUE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS??
Koolkat Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Struggling to remember to be honest. I can remember Tobi Legend being played as a current sound, but no I cant put them in any order or dates etc.
ulyssees Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Hi Dean Parrish was played as the last Wigan record from the 3rd 'nighter onwards, used to know what the last ones were before that but have forgotten. I seem to remember Jimmy Radcliff added soon after that, (as a tribute to the Wheel I always assumed as that was thier last sound) and then a few months later Tobi Legend. Yule
moodysoul1 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I went to wigan 73 sure they were playing them then...
Soulsider Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Gerri Grainger "I Go To Pieces" followed later as the "4th" before 8 around 1977? Maybe...
Guest DaveSwift Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Nobody else is sure so i'll just add what i remember. I think I'm On My Way was played last record on 1st night. The record had been played for a few months but only seemed to kick off big that first Wigan nighter. Jimmy Radcliffe's was probably the most common 'ender' record and it started to become standard for these to be the last two records. I can't remember exactly when Tobi Legend joined these two probably a couple of months later (November 73) but i could be corrected on that one.
Ged Parker Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Russ started playing them..................................... .....................about 7:53 a.m. I've no idea they were well established before I started going. As Mick said Gerri Grainger followed as an extra one in the last four. It was on / after the 5th anniversary where the Casino Clasics release of Gerri Grainger was given away as a freebee.
manus Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Gerri Grainger "I Go To Pieces" followed later as the "4th" before 8 around 1977? Maybe... I remember joking at the time that if they continued adding records to the ender list that the first one on it would eventually be the first record of the night.
Irish Spinner Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 about 8.01 Go to the back of the que Tezza it was 7.51am
Koolkat Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I went to wigan 73 sure they were playing them then... Definately not playing 3b8 in73. I can remember Tobi Legend as a current biggie in early 74,
