Guest Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANNOT REMEMBER THE ARTIST OF A RECORD PLAYED AT WIGAN - SPUN I THINK BY PAT BRADY CALLED 'WHEN I WAS A KID' ANYBODY HELP, ARTIST, LABEL, AVAILABILITY? THANKS
Guest Kolla Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 It's not Billy Kennedy's "If I WasA Kid" is it ? You can hear the tune hear - Billy Kennedy (Real Audio)
Guest Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 No - its not that one, it was more of a stomper than Billy Kennedy 45.
Guest Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 yeah i remember this - got it on a tape from the casino, quite poppy stomper. best email mr brady and he'll tell you, probably have one for sale for about $300!!!!!
Mike Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 there is one out there, as can rememeber seeing it and billy kennedy was mentioned then...but can't rememeber full details possibly was a group, someone out there must know ? just a excuse to pass on that if logged in, can edit your posts later, so if like above someone posts up to a topic in between you writing and sending your bit can explain
grant Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 REMEMBER THIS TRACK TOO, THINK I MIGHT HAVE IT ON AN OLD CRAPPY TAPE SOMEWHERE, RECORDED LATE 70'S AT CASINO IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT. POSSIBLY WAS C/UP AT THE TIME BY PAT BRADY? IT WAS A GREAT SONG, JUST LISTENED TO THE LINK KOLLA LEFT FOR B KENNEDY & NO IT ISNT THAT, MORE UPTEMPO DANCER TYPICAL OF THAT TIME. I'LL TRY AND DIG IT OUT & P[OST UP WHO PAT SAYS IT BIS ON THE TAPE, MIGHT THEN JOG A FEW MEMORIES. OR AS PREVIOUSLY PHONE OR EMAIL PAT BRADY (DETAILS AVAILABLE ON HIS WEBSITE) AS HE IS USUALLY VERY HELPFUL WITH QUERIES LIKE THIS - PARTCULARLY IF HE HAS ONE FOR SALE!! HAPPY HUNTING GRANT P.S. COULD BE THE B-SIDE OF THAT ELUSIVE LEGENDS TRACK I AM AFTER (LOL)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grant Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 I contacted Pat myself for you - he came back to me saying the following (pasted from my email):- Dear Grant I'll have to go on "who wants to be a millionaire" at this rate.....My starter for ten.....The record was Billy Kennedy on Silver Records. It was actually something that was released in the 70's that John Anderson found on a trip to Detroit around about 1978 though it is thought to have been a 60's track that was lying dormant in the vaults. Value-wise, around £50 I'd guess although you don't see it much. Hope that's of help Pat Well it aint the track I have on Wigan tape - so the one guest is after is probably the one i've got on tape as the tarck on www.soulclub.org. Mystery eh, i'll defo dig out the tape ! grant
grant Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Listened to the WIGAN TAPE with above record on it, Pat actualy announces it as Tony Middleton 'When I Was A Kid' surely must have been a c/up? certainly isnt the B Kennedy record - nuthin like! Anyone shed any more light? looks like pat needs to ask the audience!! Grant
grant Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Got in touch with Pat Brady again - apparently it is Rick Randall (or Randell) on MGM. Grant
Richard Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I've just noticed this post and I've actually got a very near mint DJ copy of When I Was A Kid by Rick Randell I'm looking to out if anyone is interested for £40. My email address is richardpx@hotmail.com Ta Richard
Guest LeoLyxxx Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Not the one you're looking for but Betty Wrights version of "if i was a kid" (Alston) is also super and the flip "life" is really good on the more modern side of things.. best Leo
Wiganer1 Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 the 45 in question is indeed Rick Randell on MGM another corking mgm number
