Recommended Posts

A lot of people forget just how big a record. Construction-hey little way out girl-Sync 6, was. Always remember one of the older lads from York coming out of the record bar with a copy of the del-capris on karma sutra saying ive just bought that searling monster lol.

Think I'd rather forget! One of my pet hates of 78, along with James Coit.

Forgotten sounds from the Casino? Ann Perry was played here in Spain by Mark Sargeant last Saturday night. Admittedly, Spain isn't the UK. I note that most of the records people are posting are 60s tunes. What about some long forgotten 70s biggies? When I first started going there "Love Trap" was being played to death, it was huge, absolutely huge. Ain't it weird how some would want to resurrect dire 60s stuff but ignore stuff like T.D. Valentine? At the risk of being booed, I still quite like "Love Trap". I also love the French Fries.

Get away???

Actually I don't mind Love Trap, it's not great but I don't hate it.

 

Yep, Pete all true

 

He is Tommy Mottola see here: 

 

Thomas Daniel "TommyMottola (born July 14, 1949) is an American music executive. He is the co-owner of Casablanca Records in a joint venture with the Universal Music Group. He headed Sony Music Entertainment, parent of the Columbia label, for nearly 15 years.[1]

Tommy Mottola entered in the music scene in the mid 60s as a recording artist for CBS Records under the name "T.D. Valentine". After his attempt to become a recording star himself failed, Mottola started working for publishing powerhouse Chappell Publishing and started his own management company, Champion Entertainment Organization. His role at Chappell put him in touch with many artists, and soon he signed his first successful management clients, Hall & Oates.

Mottola helped Hall and Oates land a record deal and several high-profile endorsements. He was also recognized for successfully using new mediums for promotion, like music videos and corporate sponsorship for music tours.

Apart from Hall and Oates, Mottola is known as a mentor and former talent manager. His most famous protégés were Carly SimonJohn Mellencamp,[2] Diana Ross, and Taylor Dayne in the 1980s, Mariah Carey (whom he married) in the 1990sGloria EstefanShakiraAnastacia and Jennifer Lopez in the early 2000s. He is married to Mexican telenovela actress and singer Thalía.

Be nice to have a 'proper' Wigan night where some of the above lesser know tracks could be played out instead of just the usual Casino parody nights were the promoter thinks that sticking a night owl badge on a flyer and playing the MVP's and Frank Wilson makes it the real deal..... :(

watch this space!!  :yes:

Surprised to hear The 5th dimension and The Kittens were big at Wigan, both old Wheel and Torch tunes.

Like previously said The Johnny Hendley track never hear this at venues.

 Agreed , john Hendly was massive for about a month at Wigan about 79/80 played 2 or 3 times a night to a full floor ..always loved it, and the key changes in it are Superb
