Ady Croasdell Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Am I right in thinking this was not that massive in the 70s and became bigger in the 80s. I think his faster tracks were played more in the 70s. Ady Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Surely all the classic Mirwoods were big in the 72-74 period, why would Oh My Darlin suddenly go big in 1980? I'd got it in 1975 from the tv repairman in our village and he was a Cats regular so they obviously used to play it there. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm sure it was played a fair bit in the 70s but thought it was played less than Temptation Walk etc and that's why it went really big in the 80s. Jay Boy put out a lot of Mirwood on 45 in the early 70s, some were in-demand some weren't. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tezza Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Deffo played at Samantha's in the 73 - 76 era. Went 'out of fashion' for a while when the 100 MPH brigade took over as with a lot.

AlanB Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I thought the 1972 release on Jayboy would have been to meet some sort of demand? I think Jayboy released it in '72 just as another soul release, possibly on back of good sales of Shotgun & Duck/ Temptation Walk and Would You Believe, rather than because of high demand for it at the time. I remember Dave Godin raving about it in B&S on it's release, but I don't think it fared well in the B&S or dealer charts. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Amsterdam Russ Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Keb used to play it mid-80's. In fact, I remember him saying over the mic one night at the 100 Club that it was one his all-time favourite tracks. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest DaveSwift Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I remember Dave Godin tipping it (probably 1971?) and at the time there were loads of cheap import copies. With it being a bit slow for those days it got left. Dave Evison played it quite a bit mid-70s in his Wigan spot and it went down well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post jocko Posted September 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2012 Pretty sure Searling played it at every Oldies Friday night I went to in 1980, although not sure what that tells you, and I stopped paying attention after the first couple of Oldies nights so maybe it just seemed he played it every time. Pretty sure it was on a Jayboy demo with red A that he said was very rare. Alternatively I was 17 having the time of my life and maybe imagined all of the above. 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter Richer Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Definitely played at the Howard Mallet in Cambridge in the late 70s. Tony Dellar played lots of classy records before they went big elsewhere. Another obvious example would be the Metros - Since I Found My Baby.

Sean Hampsey Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) The chaps who said Samanthas are dead right. Was certainly an 'evergreen' favourite in South Yorkshire area (Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster) right through the very early 70's - pre-Sammies and beyond. Everyone had it, everyone loved it.

These were the days when you could pick up Jackie Lee's "Darkest Days" on ABC for 60p on Global's wholesale list! Whenever I heard "Oh My Darlin" back then I just presumed it was a well-chosen cheap as chips play - in the same boat as Bunny Sigler's "Girl Don't Make Me Wait" in terms of being 'known' and fairly easily available. I can remember literally hundreds of copies of "Oh My Darlin'" unsold @ 25p each on Bradford market. It was always a brilliant record but maybe just too common for it's own good back then, if that makes sense. Still got the UK promo. I don't think I've ever heard a better 7" pressing in my life.

Ian Dewhirst Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm talking 72-73 here, they were massive records! Not around my way they weren't. I've never heard "The Shotgun & The Duck" out anywhere in my life and "My Little Girl" was considered a cheapie and hardly ever got played in any clubs between '71-'75. I think all the Mirwood stuff got revitalised in the mid 70's when Soussan did those Soul Fox boots. I'm sure my "Temptation Walk"/"The Shotgun & The Duck" UK Jay Boy promo came out of Jumbo's 10p clearout box not long after it was issued, so whenever that was, there really wasn't much demand for it at the time......... Honestly most Mirwood stuff was fairly readily available following Jimmy Conwell and Richard Temple, so you'd be more likely to hear Mirwood records at a mid-week night rather than at any of the big venues, as unlikely as that seems. If you check any B&S club ads from that period, I very much doubt that you'll spot any Mirwood releases because they simply weren't rare enough by that point. Everyone had 'em. I mean, you couldn't give away "Baby Do The Philly Dog" by the Olympics on Mirwood in 1972 (Bradford Market was packed with 'em and they were in every £1 pack Soul Pack), yet Jay Boy still issued it anyway. Why? That's why I think they simply scheduled X amount of Mirwood releases to fulfil the contract.........could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me 'cos some of those releases really didn't make much sense at the time as they were all 60's recordings being released between 1970 to 1972 and many people had moved on fresher records by then. They weren't even old enough to be proper oldies by then! Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rob Wigley Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Temptation Walk was always "Bigger" Mansfield way hand in hand with Richard Temple in the 70s , but as above replies you probably wouldn't have noticed "Oh my darling" getting played as it seems to have been a "Constant" spin on the oldies circuit ?

Sean Hampsey Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 So, to try to answer Ady's question; would it be fair to say that 'Oh My Darling' was a very well established regional tune (oop north) throughout the early 70's, a well hammered oldie by the mid 70's and a played out Oldie by the 80's - at least as far as the North is concerned?

Sean Hampsey Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Olympics..... Philly dog..was a 'known' spin before all of em ..if memory serves Agree with Jez, "Baby Do The Philly Dog" was a very big 'club' tune in our neck of the woods (on the back of plays at the Wheel, Mojo etc.) several years before we'd even heard of Northern Soul or 'Cigarette Ashes' etc. The Action issue, Joe, was almost certainly catering for existing demand, given that the 3 year old Fontana release was already changing hands for big bucks (about 3 quid) alongside the likes of the Flamingo's "Boogaloo Party" etc. by 1969. It was the first Mirwood track on the label too (Same Old Thing etc. came later) so I'm pretty sure it was demand that kicked off the relationship. Other Action releases from Bobby Marchan and Minnie Epperson were also big in our town in 69 / 70 (pre- N.Soul era) but the Action label was one that never really had the 'smashes' on the scene until several years later (with Carl Carlton, Dee Dee Sharp, Eddie Holman etc.) which were actually oldies of course by then, but seen as 'new discoveries' in '74 / '75. Don't know if any of that makes sense to anyone other than me. It's Monday morning... :0) Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 These Ads should serve as a reminder as to how JayBoy used to market their Mirwood Catalogue. Both Richard Temple and Donald Height, both early JayBoy titles, rush released to meet demand. Such was the hurry to get the Advertisement out there, the title on the Ad was set incorrectly! Most of the first 24 releases were poor sellers and are therefore quite scarce. It wasn't until the 25th release (Harlem Shuffle) that they started tapping into the 'Northern' opportunity with Mirwood etc. and 'Shotgun & The Duck' 'Would You Believe' 'That Beatin' Rhythm' etc. quickly ensued.
