Stevie T Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 one of the all time wigan cockups ! but there were others , but thank good ness not many
John Moffatt Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Did you get it with the Rose design sleeve? It was one of those generated as a result of the scene, not the other way round, by someone, presumably, trying to cash in. For a lot of us, barely educated at that time, it was remarkably popular. Nowadays - Oh God ! It's still better than some of the shite that got released though. 1

John Moffatt Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 nope, just a white cardboard sleeve. Listened to it once, think it may be the last haha Just don't let anybody see it .
Guest leeham987 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Just don't let anybody see it . haha don't worry i wont. When my dad saw it, he thought i had bought it especially for that as its the a-side, his face was a picture lol.
Guest leeham987 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 have to say i never liked it . quite hard to find anything good about it, waiting for someone to come along and say they like it now.
John Moffatt Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 haha don't worry i wont. When my dad saw it, he thought i had bought it especially for that as its the a-side, his face was a picture lol. I'll bet . Stick with '7 Days'. That's kept its credibility all through - and rightly so. ATB
Guest leeham987 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I'll bet . Stick with '7 Days'. That's kept its credibility all through - and rightly so. ATB it was if he was disgusted by it and the thought of me buying it for that side. love that song, 7 days.
Stevie Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 This was a manic dancer in its day, and always filled the floor at WC. Not something I would want to hear today, but there's no denying its place in history.
Stevie T Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 seemingly done by some obscure Canadian group called chosen few , as part of an advertisement campaign for a toy called footsee then remixed over here , given the added title of Wigans........etc reached # 9 in british charts . if i remember correctly , it was some of the Halifax Crew that danced on Top of the pops
John Moffatt Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) The story I heard was that the cheering on the intro was taken from the 1966 FA Cup Final and that you can hear 'Wednesday Wednesday' (as in Sheffield Wednesday) in the backround if you listen carefully. Can't say I've bothered myself. Edited January 12, 2012 by John Moffatt

Guest allnightandy Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 only played at 1 club....ironicly wigan casino. It was played in the "Townie clubs " like cloisters and pips lol and all the townies thought they were hardened northern soulies especially if they had the snake , skiing in the snow , and the top tune maxine nightingale !

Guest Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 The real Footsee is shown here.... https://www.mortaljou...-or-footsie-toy followed you link and as soon as the page was loading, saw the word drugs and clicked it, lovely pics of acid on there
Guest Mart B Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Come on then whos going to admit they have ever danced to it
Stevie Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I danced to it. So, probably, did the vast majority of us who attended Wigan Casino in the early years.
Guest giant Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 its a load of crap ' burn the bloody thing .
Guest allnightandy Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 You are all confusing it with the original Footsee by The chosen few , which was massive The other knob heads ripped it off
Pete S Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 You are all confusing it with the original Footsee by The chosen few , which was massive The other knob heads ripped it off They took the instrumental version of that Chosen Few record, which is the B side of the issue, remixed it, added some effects and that was Footsee. They're one and the same record. There are numerous versions on the same theme, one of them starts with the intro to a little bit hurt, one has different car horns in the middle etc but they all use the same instrumental, the B side of The Chosen Few on Roulette. Kenny posted a good version up, not sure if it's still around, off a Pye acetate.

45cellar Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 The first and I thought the best was the version with "A Little Bit Hurt" intro. Not sure who was responsible for that version with the various clips but it was certainly danced to back then. Not heard it it in years, that version isn't on YouTube as far as I'm aware. Here's the PYE Sleeve for the UK Version on Disco Demand.
Guest allnightandy Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 What about this lot then ? See how long you can watch it for before you reach for the bucket !

Mark S Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Bought Footsie for the Chuck Wood b side and promptly took a compass to the A side , still got it in its defaced state just to remind me Ah the folly of youth

Here's the PYE Sleeve for the UK Version on Disco Demand. Don't know if you remember that Wigan tape from sept 74 I posted up but that version id on there, unbelievable clapping on it https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/the-best-wigan-casino-live-tapeever/ it's after Wombat about 15 mins from the end
Pete S Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 The version with the "little bit hurt intro" (Live) version Yeah thats the one, these people take my full live tapes, chop them up, then post them up on youtube as if they recorded them!
Guest allnightandy Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah thats the one, these people take my full live tapes, chop them up, then post them up on youtube as if they recorded them! How did they get hold of it ?
Pete S Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 How did they get hold of it ? Podcast I did, I put about 10 of them up last year, deleted them after 2000 or so downloads, saw them appearing on youtube so put some of them back onto mixcloud (as above). Anyone can do anything with the stuff I post, just wish they'd credit where they got it from.
Steve G Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Strewth Wigans Ovation worse than I remember them and that's saying something!!!! 1

Those recordings you made are priceless in my opinion. Tainted Love was another that simply oozed atmosphere. The only way it was Available before PYE released their version was via Acetate etc because it was Obviously spliced together with various clips.. Still to hear it straight from Acetate to YouTube clip. Apart from that Live tape of yours which you first posted a few years ago
Davetay Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Bought Footsie for the Chuck Wood b side and promptly took a compass to the A side , still got it in its defaced state just to remind me Ah the folly of youth Surely with it being a record, you didn't need a compass to find out it was a circle? 1
Russ Vickers Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 The first version played was from SS wasnt it ?.....Dave Mcaleer heard it, realised they owned the Roulette back catalogue & recorded the version that was released. Is that right ?.........anyhoo, love it or hate it, it must be one, if not the first example of someone remixing a record for the dancefloor ?. Mr SS certainly was ahead of his time. Best Russ
Steve Myers Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Remember the original being played at Samanthas 1974 and I'm sure I can remember the Disco Demand version being played, might have been John Vincent, but its a long time ago and the memory struggles a bit ! By late 74 early 75 it had been dropped and no one would admit to owning it. Instrumentals were big at this time, Paul Humphries- Cochise and Mike Post- Afternoon of the Rhino, followed the same fate.
Mike Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 just a trivia related add on - dont think seen it mentioned on here before anyone remember this
dthedrug Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) What about this lot then ? See how long you can watch it for before you reach for the bucket ! HI ALL i WILL ADMIT IT. I WATCHED IT RIGHT THROUGH,!! WAS THIS THERE 1ST LIVE APERANCE ON TOTP, OR DID THE SUPERLOVE COME OUT 1sr? There is no need to give me any info, about this band, whuch is or was at the tume a real hate!!, I suppose in some warped world of a quantum existancwm a bit like the TATE & LYLE LOGO with the BEES nesting in the body of a dead lion, with the words out of the strong comes sweetness, or simular, My hate stems from the apperance on TOTP on the 7.30 pm slot after TOMORROWS WORLD,THE following SATURDAY NIGHT, AFTER driving up from north herts, because of all the little kiddies that Mike WALKER let in, he told me that the place was full and I could not come in following a talk with him that started with NORTHERN and ended wth a 4 letter word . I got in. i WONDER HOW MAN PEOPE ON THIS SITE OWN UP AND SAY WHY DID THEY GO, THAT WEEKEND? MY LAPTOP IS PLAING UP SO I WILL LEAVE IT WITH THAT QUESTION WERE YOU ONE OF THE GROUP OF KIDS WHO FELL A SLEEP AND CAUSED MANY REGULARS PROBLEMS? DAVE Edited January 16, 2012 by dthedrug
Guest Gogs Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 What about this lot then ? See how long you can watch it for before you reach for the bucket ! always prefered this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFTKx4SxTR0
Haydn Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 just a trivia related add on - dont think seen it mentioned on here before anyone remember this The actual video released with this had Baby Ford parading through a concrete jungle with flashes of Casino Nighter patches et al. Haven't seen the video since
