Soul-slider Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Really???? Presume it's the same as Shawn Elliott? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Soul-Popcorn-Norman-Wisdom-The-Joker-UK-Columbia-records-/311520075571?hash=item48880b1f33:g:MuEAAOSwJkJWjh5y 1
Guest Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 They call just about every old record Northern Soul now, in the hope somebody buys it!
Scallybob Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Strange though doing a few Northern/handbag nights around Wigan I've been asked for Shattered Glass. People are convinced it was played at the Casino but I don't recall that. Maybe it was at the short pants sessions? I tell them to go down King Street, there's loads of broken glass there. 1
Mach Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 yep.., i find it the ultimate insult from dopes who never stepped foot inside the place
Peter99 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Can be no denying some of the shit that was played though.

Hit the preview button on this page and answer the question for yourself ... as bad as some of the Wigan plays were this one cannot have been spun ... https://www.shazam.com/track/265680/the-joker PS Have the Shawn Elliot in my box ...
Soul-slider Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks for that WoodButcher! That truly is pants. I have the Shawn Elliott too and I love it.
Woodbutcher Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Anthony Newley did it first ( and composed it ... ! ) ...
Soul-slider Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 The Newley track is popcorn and I think my mate in Cambridge (who's a Mod) plays it. I've heard Shawn Elliott at Northern nights.
Woodbutcher Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Uncle Ady used to play it , 100 Club's where I first heard it .

Woodbutcher Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 There are also versions by Shirley Bassey and Sammy Davis Jr on YT ... but they're shite too ...

Woodbutcher Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) If I was to suggest that Ady had spun Norman Wisdom or Anthony Newley I'd never be allowed to set foot in the 100 Club again ... which would be a crying shame after 30 or so years ... Edited February 15, 2016 by WoodButcher 2
Mach Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) didnt Tommy Cooper..also get spun , sure drugs are blurring our recollections here. ..mind you with Tony blackburn (Lenny Gamble) Joe 90 etc..anythings possible Edited February 15, 2016 by Mach
