What suprises me is those are all sounds that I was hearing six years later in 1979 when I first got into northern. Things didn't move that fast back then I expect. Things moved much faster back then Matt. Sometimes records only had a 'lifespan' of just a few weeks before the boot appeared. I suspect you were hearing the majority on that list as oldies by '79. Lou Ragland and Joe Hick escaped the bootleggers for a fair old time though. Off to listen to the recording now though - thanks Pete! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I think you're right mate, thinking about it a lot were played at local youthclubs so had probably 'had their day' on the wider scene and once I got to Wigan (in 1980) I did spend a lot of time in Mr Ms, so that's probably where the memories come from.

Paul as pete said, many of these were played at the catacombs & vava's in 73, probably getting booted throughout 74, though jnr walker got a legit u.k. motown release at the same time.

For 6 months a rapid fall off of brothers & sisters who packed out the TORCH & JUNCTION fell of the scene only for a short period of time, but in that time the WIGAN DJ took on the very best tunes from clubs that had closed or only attracted locals, the playlist proves this, as for example many of the tunes on the list were played by Tony Dellerat the MALLET or PEP in the MIDLANDS and even purchased from Ian at the MECCA, As I say your list was played to many fresh ears the fact that the unfamiliar tunes were of the same class as the familiar, made the CASINO the best place to go in the UK, to me this success was also it's downfall as within a year some of the DJ at Wigan helped start new venues using the CASINO formula and slosh by finding the original DJ who discovered the records in the first place, To this day I could not tell you a RUSS record that was truly his find, can you, but I can tell you many from other DJ that are overlooked or get slagged off like IAN got, well maybe not as bad as IAN got, shame on some of you, A great list Pete and again freely given, RIGHT ON DAVE K AS ALWAYS 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Did it get many plays during that time? Hi All Not quite sure if the Jelly Beans come from the MECCA or VAVA's it is the type of stomper Richard would of played I am sure someone will tell us. However it is and was played in the first 6 months my 1st copy was on a black label boot, got my 1st real copy from John Anderson £5 it was a hard to get record for sure pre 76, as the bootleg records of the time prove, I still rate the record and is a great one to have in your box, Also all the records were played in 73, and that's the point PETE was making when he started the post, it's amazing how many records from the WHEEL TORCH YEARS, Got played to new ears and become WIGAN TUNES, this is why I it amazes me at some of the 3rd rate records that get played today over & over, when there are so many quality 45's out there & cheaper, however that's nothing to do with your question, "I mean you no good" DAVE K 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Cheers Chris Chris, it may well have been Stella Starr, I just presumed it was Cissie Houston. Whoever sent the original tape wrote the date on it, so I just went by that. I'm not going to question the memory of the person who recorded it. By the time I was 'on the scene' which was about 12 to 18 months after this tape was recorded, most of these were being played at our youth club, so had obviously all been pressed. As someone said, Joe Hicks managed to avoid the bootleggers until 1976, Lou Ragland until 1977. And everyone - as for the 'real' date - it doesn't really matter does it? You're getting some priceless nostalgia, and it's free. Edited July 28, 2013 by Pete S 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Have a listen and see if you can make out the voice - Martyn Ellis is definitely on there - I wouldn't have recognised Kev Roberts or Ian Fishwick's voices so it may be one of them. Or not - I don't know, I didn't record it. And to Eddie, by the same token as some of those titles being 'later' - others are positively ancient and well known from other venues, Nancy Ames, Frank Beverly etc Edited July 28, 2013 by Pete S Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Eddie Hubbard Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I know some of the records like The Adventurers and Gloria Jones were considered Richard's Va Va records .I know there was a practise of sharing the sounds around from Va Va's and The Cat's for instance , via acetates , so could it be possible that these particular records made their way to this early Wigan playlist by this way ?

spot Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I was just getting this tape ready to put up as a podcast and thought it would make interesting reading if I posted up the track list. This tape is from October 1973, the earliest Wigan tape in existence as far as I know, just a month into the Casino's lifespan. The playlist is pretty much as to be expected, mainly comprising records from The Cats, The Torch and places like Va Va's. Very interesting to see LOU RAGLAND in there though, I had no idea until today that this was spun and then dropped for 3 or 4 years. It's a fabulous tape by the way, look out for it later on, great atmosphere and the clapping during Mike Post Coalition is spinte tingling. DJ's are cut from the tape mainly but I can definitely hear Martyn Ellis and probably Richard Searling JOE HICKS - DON'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL FUNKY SAXIE RUSSELL - PSYCHEDELIC SOUL AUDIO ARTS STRINGS - THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO SAY EDDIE FOSTER - I NEVER KNEW MIKE POST COALITION - AFTERNOON OF THE RHINO MORRIS CHESTNUT - TOO DARN SOULFUL CUT STANLEY MITCHELL - GET IT BABY TONY & TYRONE - PLEASE OPERATOR JOHNNY CASWELL - YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE UNKNOWN INSTRUMENTAL (sounds a bit like You Want It You Got It) NANCY AMES - I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT JR WALKER - I AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE TERRIBLE TOM - WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER LYNNE RANDELL - STRANGER IN MY ARMS EARL JACKSON - SOUL SELF SATISFACTION VOLCANOS - THE LAWS OF LOVE LEE ANDREWS - I'VE HAD IT THE SAPPHIRES - THE SLOW FIZZ EDDIE FOSTER - I NEVER KNEW THE ADVENTURERS - EASY BABY FRANK BEVERLEY - IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED CISSIE HOUSTON - BRING HIM BACK GLORIA JONES - TAINTED LOVE LOU RAGLAND - I TRAVEL ALONE PHIL FLOWERS - DISCONTENTED LEON YOUNG STRINGS - GLAD ALL OVER DETROIT SOUND - JUMPING AT THE GO GO MIKE POST COALITION - AFTERNOON OF THE RHINO GOLDEN WORLD STRINGS (TOTAL ECLIPSE) - SUPERTIME THE JELLY BEANS - YOU DON'T MEAN ME NO GOOD FREDDIE CHAVEZ - THEY'LL NEVER KNOW WHY Now that's how I remember Wigan, if I close my eye's I can feel the heat, hear the clapping & remember the ear straining to hear what the Dj was announcing next, memories so sweet you could spread it on toast, then there was the toilets to break the dream.

Spot. There's some fantastic clapping on Get It Baby, Saxie Russell and Rhino, it really does give you goosepimples. Whatever happened to clapping, died out in the 80's, I loved it when everyone knew how to do that clap on a particular beat as if it were done by telepathy. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
