Alfie Khan. Tojo.Nita Rossi.

I think TOJO was played at The Cats. Here's a picture of Max's copy I bought from him in about 1978.

Also big enough to get a pressing on Soul galore?

I certainly remember it from my formative years although can't be precise about where/when

I finally got my 4th Anniversary tape back this week and it features Alan Rhodes spot followed by Pep's, both of them play Marva Jones but it rarely got played after that really...thought it would go huge.

talking of instrumentals, wasn't the producers Lady, Lady, Lady,
(inst to what kind of lady) a wigan only sound? can't recall it being put on at Blackpool? But may be wrong, only went there a half a dozen times

played many times at Blackpool & Torch at least a year before Wigan

Plenty of these "monsters" are well worthy of being forgotten!

Precisions, Such Misery.

While this is what I'd call a real oldie (so I don't know if it was first spun @ Wigan), a real clapper & got some hammer from loads of different DJs @ Wigan all the time I was going, really associate this.
