Always puzzled me slightly Ste this obsession some on here have with which venue played which track first and at what time. You'd almost think that certain venues had some kind of Chin Strokers exclus

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.

The Gladiators. That Miami Sound. 

Still got an Emidisc with Johnny Bragg on the other side.

Of course it,s a mash up of the Centuries , Jack 23 surf instrumental but huge for a month.

hmm..all about timing..was played quite a bit later on..75 ish...

 

 

maybe not big but certainly popular..it appears on quite a few of my live tapes from that dateline...

 

 

Still got my "looky - likey - Rika" so some poor bootlegger must've got their fingers burned.

 

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.

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.
