Sold a minty US issue for about £20 some 4 years ago but never had another since.....probably 100 count box @ Val Shivelys but he'll probably want $40 a piece nowadays....

Had plays in the past. Although more on the 6T's/Mod scene I believe. There's a Youtube poster who claims it was a late Wigan Casino by R. Searling but I think that's just rubbish.

 

I'm sure that this was played at Wigan, i used to have it on a tape from maybe 79 (long gone).

The Sammy Davis jnr track

Was found in an electrical shop in Prestonpans in about 1979 by Alan Bonerhrone!

Who sold it to Bruce Hanning!

Bruce played it in Mr Ms!

It was a big sound at the Clouds all nighters!

Bruce was a good friend of Richard Searling but I don't think Richard ever played it!

That really surprises me. Not that I think SDjr is crap. But it certainly doesn't sound like a big hall Northern record to me. More like a 60s Mod sound.

 

BTW, german UA as well.

I played it a few times in the 90s, when all that swinging 60s stuff was popular, but I dont think it'd work on the mod scene now, for the same reason that it used to be popular - it's all a bit swinging 60s and unsophisticated

Had the tape for years and this was definitely on it, have been trying to remember some of the other tracks, i know that 1 was "country girl" 1 of my favourite tracks at the time.

The riff in this is similar to the short instrumental break in Sammy's 'if I could talk to the animals', which, incidentally, was also played a few times at Wigan circa late november 1977.

Hi Gogs

You might be right about Sammy Davis jnr getting played in the big room at Wigan!

I banged my head off the wall a few times!

And once the dust settled!

Bruce! I think did get Richard to play it for the Scots mob!( but my memory is a but cloudy)

Probably the night he Was DJ ing in Mr Ms!

Lots of Scots were down that night!

Not a Searling record by any stretch of the imagination!

But him and Bruce were very good friends!

And for dancers of an acrobatic persuasion!

It was perfect to dance to

And was very popular up here at the time. So would have filled the floor with us nut jobs!

Mr Bonthrone might remember ?

Hi Jolly long time no see. Thinking back to the tape i had, i'm sure that it was RS that played it.I should have made another copy before it got knackered.  I remember it getting played at clouds as well.

Also came out on a 7" in Japan...and if you like that track and keeping with the danceable soundtrack theme, try this one from B.J.Baker (flip to a theme from "Ironside"!)...a former Miss Alabama as well!

Got this kicking about in my allsorts box, the only Decca I kept from a pile i bought blind in a junk shop. The rest were country and western :(
