Fabulous Downbeats

Ive owned a copy of LIFE GOES ON for ages and its one of my all time fave oldies.Only ever heard it played out a couple of times.Once told it was a regular Leeds Central spin.Anyone have and recollections of where and when it was first played and did it get any Casino action.

Cheers in advance

Just bought one funnily enough! Reminds me of Rugby, heard it there once or twice and it was on the anniversary cd a few years ago. I've no idea where else plays it/played it was well before my time

Always reminds me of Fri nights @ the Central, heard it a few times at Wigan but never a big play.  

Great record was also told it came out on another label Hit Kingdom but never seen a copy.

That's a Ken Aitchison play at Rugby

I think Tony Banks discovered this when he went to the States around 1972/3 and played it at Leeds Central as well as having copies to sell.

Thanks Rick i had been told it was a Leeds Central spin so that confirms it mate.Seems like it made it to the casino as well during the early years.Tony Banks what a character,i remember ringing him one night to ask about a venue and got off the phone almost 3 hours later without getting a word in.

The other side of the record isn't bad either .

Yes 'Leeds Central' for me too, a regular spin there in the early days.
