Jaco Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Who was responsible for giving this the light of day and when? Ta much.
Steve G Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) I am not sure who was first but Soul Sam was amongst the first to spin it. Edited April 23, 2013 by Steve G
Jaco Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 I am not sure who was first but Soul Sam was amongst the first to spin it. Thanks Steve, Any idea when? Cracking tune.
Jaco Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 I had this down as c/u at Clifton Hall. Poke? So what does it date it from then Jock? Not familiar with the Clifton Hall era.
Dave Thorley Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I thought it was Poke also, Robin played at Stafford I think 1
Steve G Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Yes indeed. We often forget the contribution Snaith made to the early days of the modern scene.
Cunnie Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 First played by Pat Brady at Rotherhams Clifton Hall. Info came from Pat himself.
Russ Vickers Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Covered up as the Fiestas I think.....thought it was Poke myself... Russ
Guest Awake 502 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Covered up as the Fiestas I think.....thought it was Poke myself... Russ That is how I remember it, don't you now have Poke's old copy ?
Cunnie Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 That is how I remember it, don't you now have Poke's old copy ? Pat also said that he played it just before you Darran.
Arthur Fenn Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Covered up as the Fiestas I think.....thought it was Poke myself... Russ well Poke was a regular at snaith so no probs with that , always look back to that era with a smile remembering how fast great records were coming at us, not a problem we'll ever have again for sure 2
Guest Awake 502 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 well Poke was a regular at snaith so no probs with that , always look back to that era with a smile remembering how fast great records were coming at us, not a problem we'll ever have again for sure Snaith and Todmorden, we were blessed with great sundays back then... So many good records first spun there which went on to be massive at Wigan etc...
Guest Awake 502 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Pat also said that he played it just before you Darran. £5 record back then, hard to find but no real demand... Edited April 23, 2013 by Awake 502
Steve G Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Strange that it came out twice as well, and neither variation is easy to find.
Glynthornhill Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Ah Snaith the good old early embryonic days of the Modern Scene. Arthur introduced us to so many good records that have stood the test of time , and now are searched by the Northern Soul element - they deemed them to fast / disco ish at that 79 / 80 period . 1
Arthur Fenn Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 nothing wrong with a bit of disco in ya soul eh Glyn , hello by the way
Sebastian Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I quite like the other Essence Of Love 45 on K-CITY as well. 1
Russ Vickers Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 That is how I remember it, don't you now have Poke's old copy ? I do have a copy, but for the life of me I cant remember where I got it, mine is the release that credits Eugene Smiley & the Essence of Love, demo I think, the issues only credited the Essence of Love....or is it vice versa, in Baghdad so cant check, I think it was Cliff who reactivated this a couple of years ago, still lots of plays left in this, quality all the way.... Russ
Russ Vickers Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I quite like the other Essence Of Love 45 on K-CITY as well. Me too, Best Russ
Russ Vickers Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Strange that it came out twice as well, and neither variation is easy to find. *See post 24...?, do I have this wrong ?....thought the white ones which credit ES&EL were demos & the blue ones which credit just the EL were issues....could have this all mixed up though, cant check properly right now, so your saying there are two release numbers Steve ? Best Russ Russ
Ncfc Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Pat Allen reviewed it in Blues and Soul in mid 80s,i purchased his copy for£15 at Burnley,sold it to Andy Etheridge for£30 a year or so later.
Guest Awake 502 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I do have a copy, but for the life of me I cant remember where I got it, mine is the release that credits Eugene Smiley & the Essence of Love, demo I think, the issues only credited the Essence of Love....or is it vice versa, in Baghdad so cant check, I think it was Cliff who reactivated this a couple of years ago, still lots of plays left in this, quality all the way.... Russ Hi Russ, I think I sold you my old copy.......
Russ Vickers Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Hi Russ, I think I sold you my old copy....... Yes, I think you might be right mate... Best Russ
