Great Record that, does it get spins now?

On Valise records. Top tune

Bit earlier I'd have thought Steve?

Can't remember Ade. Someone else said that too. I started going in 75 so it could have been anytime after that.

one I've been looking for a while patti Williams - best I can, on Forward,  possibly not a monster, but a great tune nevertheless

Was Anita Hulmes & The Essex, What Did I Do a WC spin or earlier?

 

It was freshly covered at Stafford, or even slightly later, by Guy I think, Not to say it hadn't had a bash before, lots did. 

What about one of the biggest instrumentals ever. Afternoon of the rhino. Mike post coalition. now that doesn't get played anymore.

Steve

Babe Ruth was so wrong, it was right, a snarling dance record.

Mark. I think it was played before the casino mate

May have been a Mr M,s spin

Steve

Sure an old boy from Mansfield told me it was pre-Wigan.

It predates the Casino Mark, it was reissued in 68 or 69 because it was so popular and never deleted, it was a revival in early 1978 and that's when the Congress pressings were done.

Astral Trip - Mystic Moods.

Never heard it played after the Casino, does it ever get played anywhere?

Played at Wigan.... When? !

WOZ MASSIVE @ THE TORCH...................ALWAYS PLAYED LATE ON BEFORE CLOSING

 

GREAT TRACK !!

Cmon boys, not many monsters. And still mostly deserving of being forgotten, IMVNHO!

 

How about Chris Bartley Out Of My Mind, a monster to 200/300 people for a couple of years, rarely heard? Revealled as really Van McCoy on here previously?

I quite like that, except can never stop thinking of Hermans Hermits version when I hear it
