Chalky Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Any chance if putting these on mixcloud? Can't always view these on YouTube when on a mobile device. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 That's an oldies allnighter so more or less impossible to date... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Zed1 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 That's an oldies allnighter so more or less impossible to date... I thought that Pete, but wasn't 'The Jades' a later normal night play?.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wiggyflat Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Will mixcloud it.The Carstairs gets played at the end and the tape stops.....still can't get over Paintbox ...that must have been a Torch sound 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I thought that Pete, but wasn't 'The Jades' a later normal night play?.. Yeah Jades was played 75 - 76. I only listened to the first 3 tracks but could see they were from different era's so definitely an oldies nighter. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
macca Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Definitely an oldies allnighter. Seems strange, looking back, to see how 'commercial' tunes like Dance To The Music and Uptight were being lapped up. My Weakness Is You sounds bloody good though. :-) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Goldsoul Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Paintbox was a near chart hit in 1971. Most youth clubs were playing it. It followed the pop rock mix into Soul. A typical playlist back then would have included She's Alright- McKenna Mendoldson Mainline, Too Busy Thinking About My Baby- Gene Latter, Paintbox mixed with Brooks and Jerry and Johnny Wyatt. Perfectly acceptable back then. Vanda and Young of the Easybeats produced the Paintbox session for Young Blood. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

macca Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I agree with you, a great record, but it was a big chart hit which they even performed live on prime time TV in the US at the time of its release. My point was that that NS venues at the time, especially Wigan, were not usually given to playing stuff like that for being considered too commercial and in conflict with the rare and obscure ethos of the scene. The oldies allnighters that started up around 76 (?) undermined that, I think. Otherwise we definitely wouldn't have heard Sam Cooke's Another Saturday Night or even Nowhere To Run by Martha & The Vandellas at an all-nighter.
