Always loved JJ Barnes How Long, remember, writing a request to get it played by a dj, think he was called Nick Cowan on local Radio (Lancashire or Merseyside can't remember) he had a 10 minutes slot in the evening midweek, must have been the first northern radio slot ever, circa 77ish. Anyway he played it, I was a spotty teen & made up.

Wow! just spotted this and it took me back, Nick used to pop in for a spot on Radio Merseyside's "Keep on Trucking" hosted by Terry Lennaine on a Monday night, He played a trio of Northern tunes and was ably assisted by myself, Kevin Horsewood and Colin Dilnott much like the spots Richard did with Mike Shaft on Manchester Piccadily. Back in those days it was the only way to hear Northern on the Radio an hour long Northern show was totally unheard of. I think some dj's shyed away from it as c60's & c90's were always popped in ready to record. :g:

Absolutely nothing! (Well, as you say - most of them) That's what makes this thread interesting - I think we are all guilty of subconsciously thinking we don't like them anymore but when reminded, we all still love em. You can never forget ya roots.

I'm still not sure about this one but it was played out for a short while (Round these parts anyway!) :yes:

Only if we're easily influenced, and it looks like it might work in reverse, who's responsible for telling you that ''Bad Breath'' track might be ok :D:P

I have to admit, that may have been an 'emperors new clothes' thing going on there. I was guilty of buying it for the huge sum of £20.00 in the mid 80's. I was going through that 'Latin Stage' - It did work with all the other Latin tunes though (Somehow!) :D

Win - I think mores the point; we can forget how good some of these tunes are as sometimes too busy looking forward to the next fresh tune.

Len :thumbsup:

Couldnt agree more Len.

After the thread about Beat Ballads. I went back and played the Drifter, Walk With A Winner, Tomorrow is Another Day plus loads more I'd not played in years. And the hairs on my neck were at full attention for the whole time.

Apart from when i played my boot of Bobby Smith - Walk On Into My Heart. I paid half a weeks wages to get ripped off. And cant listen to the record any more :-(

They even sounded fresh, as it had been so long since I'd played them.

Hi Mike,

Yep, aint it great when an 'upfont' type D.J drops in a classic that hasn't been heard in ages? - It always sounds so good. Not just because it hasn't been heard in ages but also in contrast to the rest of the set....The D.J is also looked upon as some kind of genius! :D

Things like this always remind me of Lynne Davis at the 100 club playing - Aint No Mountain High Enough, and the (massively positive) reaction from the dancefloor. Mark said, That Girl has some big bollox. :thumbsup:

Thats the very same show I'm talking about, yeah, Nick Cowan guest spot, had about 10mins a week & was the only radio exposure of Northern that you could here at the time, used to record it on a cassette too.

Happy days indeed.

Is that Mr Doonan by any chance? Too many coincidences surely. Nothing guilty in that pleasure mate, you always had good taste. Nice on a 7" if you have this, only LP for me,

Remember his other one Just The Way You Like It? Even better, I have that on a nice 7" UK./

I woke up this morning singing this - Superb! :thumbsup:

Len.

It is superb - it's an absolute Northern belter and Neil Rushton wrote in his book that at one point, it was the biggest sound in the country and people would travel just to hear it. It's got just about everything. Actually pretty rare on it's first Philips issue too.

Not sure why I'm posting this, early memories of Ian Jackson / Dom playing this at the 80's Mod rally's - Again absolutely superb - Not Cheesy at all, where is this thread going? - Not sure but sure is refreshing! :thumbsup:

What ever happened to Dom Basset? - He was a hero of mine at that time as was Ian Jackson (Ian still is!)

I'm sure there are people out there that didnt attend Nighters in the 7ts & in particular WC, that are confused by the huge diversity of music that was played, I think that people who didnt attend sometimes have a pre conceived idea of the playlists, fact is only a tiny fraction of what was actually played is ever heard out these days, some with good reason, others should get a new lease of life IMO.

I owe a lot to this period of time for my massively eclectic tastes in Soul Music.

Best Russ
