Jimmy A Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Sorry if its been asked before but when was this first spun
Geeselad Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I love this tune, though I know many dont, i first heard it spun at venues like, the ritz and prestwich around the late 9ts, when it was a big, big spin, not sure where it was spun first, late wigan maybe?
Chalky Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Gary Spencer late 80's early 90's. Billy Lennox cover up.
Guest in town Mikey Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Chalky is probably right. Would it have been played at Mod venues before it found its way to the soul scene. Similar to stuff like - Voodoo Workin' ?
Guest smudgesmith Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Sorry but Poke played this at Cleethorpes........Pokes own words! Along with King Moses,Betty Fikes,Willie J and numerous others Edited April 24, 2012 by smudgesmith
Jimmy A Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 I remember it in the 90s ,some folk saying its a big Mod record from the 80s?
Chalky Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Doesn't surprise me it was played earlier though I wouldn't have thought it was deemed good enough for Cleethorpes.
Ted Massey Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I have it on a Butch cover up tape from late 80's
Jimmy A Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Im surprised it wasnt picked up earlier....what about the claims it being a Mod record that crossed over
Guest Matt Male Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Not popular at all these days, along with Larry Trider, massive at one time now a pariah record. I still like it though.
Guest julesp1905 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Im surprised it wasnt picked up earlier....what about the claims it being a Mod record that crossed over I can't remember anyone playing on the Mod scene in the 80's,so don't think it's a record that crossed over
Dennisoul Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Don't see it for sale much of late...4/5 years ago there seemed to be a copy for sale most weeks either on eBay or on SS.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Sorry but Poke played this at Cleethorpes........Pokes own words! ...I bet he's probably sorry he played it at Cleethorpes, too... :wicked:
Guest smudgesmith Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 ...I bet he's probably sorry he played it at Cleethorpes, too... :wicked: I will ask him LOL
jocko Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 No more can we say Pokes Impeccable spins, oh well suppose even Poke would be allowed one mistake, although it was a big one!! Total pigs sweat gland of a record.
Benji Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I love it. Such a haunting tune. Might be overplayed everywhere but as I rarely go out these days it still sounds fresh to me. Unlike that Papa Bear record that bored me the 2nd time I heard it.
Prophonics 2029 Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Shame but its not on the LP, great modern(crossover) beat northern record.
