princemono Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Can anyone tell me if THE ADORABLES OOH BOY was ever played at wigan or was it around the time of stafford
Rich B Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I seem to recall it being a John Vincent tip (in Frank Elsons column) when he dj'd at Wigan - but I can't say as I ever actually heard it played. Think he mentioned the Charmaines "Keep on searching" in the same list. Edited October 29, 2020 by Rich B 1
The Tempest Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 The Adorables WAS played out at the Casino - I had it on a live tape that I got from Richard Domar ( now there’s a blast from the past ! ) in the mid eighties - I was too young for Wigan but got the last year at Stafford / Loughborough and tracked a copy down there after hearing it on the tape - although the year / date of it escapes me currently 1
Billywhizz Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 did 1st 5 years wigan , got Adorables will never part with it 1
Okehsoul1952 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Remember Richard Searling saying on his BBC Manchester show some time ago, can't remember what venue he said he was at, but he played the Adorables and it cleared the floor. He ended up giving the record away. Likewise, i would never part with it.
Martyn Pitt Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I bought one back in the 70's Wigan days, wouldn't have paid more than 50p for it, sure it was getting played back then ... Golden World records were like cheap ballast in the sales boxes in those days, 50p each or 3 for a quid Another copy that isn't getting sold
Speedlimit Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Think you Will find it was spun at the torch first, remember a old friend from Notts telling me it was spun there when I was first getting into the scene in 74. Edited October 30, 2020 by Speedlimit
