Hi Everybody,

I have a few Roger Eagle cassette tapes, don't ask me which just yet, I'm away from home.

Anyhow, I'd like to collect a few more. Does anybody have any that I could have / purchase / copy?

I'll pay for all postage involved.

Thanks in advance.

Denbo.

Are these old Twisted Wheel night DJ sessions that you captured on cassette or are they from another venue / source ??

I used to attend niters all the time from mid 60's to 1970 but never got any OTO recordings back then.

Have loads of old Searling radio shows captured on tape but they date from the early to mid 80's.

Also got loads of unissued tracks & live recordings (Sam Dees, etc) on cassette that need to be 'saved'.

Will have to get around to transferring lots of them to CD sometime (too much to do, too little time spare to do it in).

Dennis I have or used to have a series of bootleg cd's called "Jukebox at Erics" which was either a real or an imaginary selection of tunes played at Erics club (managed by Eagle) it's a mix of mainly rockabilly and rhythm & blues, is this the sort of thing you mean?

No, they're recordings from actual records that Roger used to record onto cassette tapes himself and then hand them out to people. They were rarely just one-offs, as he would copy the original many times, depending on how many people he had in mind to give copies to. Those were then probably re-copied and passed on to others on accasion.

Have you ever had or heard of any tape recordings from actual 'original' TW nights, Brasennose Street or Whitworth Street?

No, but I'd love to have copies of them if it's not too much trouble Pete? Thanks.

NO, portable cassettes weren't really around till the end of the 60's & then they were a bit 'cutting edge' and no doubt no one thought of taking them along to a niter with them.

Via a good friend in St.Helens, I have secured copies of the following Roger Eagle cassette tapes;

I'm also looking for unwanted copies of 'Sailor's Delight'. Anybody???
