Any instrumental is nothing more than a very long intro IMHO .... 

Although this one when it was played at the WC sounded unbelievable at the time , fresh of the press , new release, in that kind of atmosphere, I know it was first spun at the Blackpool Mecca, but it didn't have that Alnighter vibe

Have we had James Fountain 'Seven day lover' yet?  memorable start if ever there was one. Or The Quantrells 'Show me the game of love' pure kitchen sink stuff ! Just cant wait for the best ending thread to start

[Billy Jo Jim Bob]

For me:

Frankie Beverley - wanted

Tamala Lewis - won’t say nothing

As a kid in the 70’s I’d hear these and dash for the dance floor. My tastes may have changed but these intros still make the hairs stand on end.

I know where you're coming from, these were both part of my teenage years.  Both quality records that still bring back fond memories of the Casino.

Growing up, my friends brother had a nice 50 box of 45's, which included Frankie Beverley, Freddie Chavez, Jerry Williams etc 

Great days

Doris Troy ‘I’ll Do Anything’, Brenda Holloway ‘Crying Time’, Barbara McNair ‘Baby A Go Go’, Brown Bombers ‘Wait For Me’, Del Larks, all fab intros.

Never heard this, Agree that intro is wonderful - wasn't expecting that song afterwards

[Outofstep]

I reckon Harlem shuffle by Bob and Earl is worth a mention too.
