The DJ is Pep and the sounds include Danny Monday, Delreys Inc, World Column, The Crow, King Errison, Mel Britt and loads more Cleethorpes classics...you can even hear the sound of dancing feet on the pier floor. There are two parts to this, the second part sits above the first on the website so make sure you play part 1 first. https://planetrecords.podbean.com/

Pete S Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Cheers. Fantastic sounds too. Even the 70's new releases were great! Except for that terrible Eve Of Eden record Parade Of A Bunch Of Fools - the one with the circus intro - terrible

Delxx Del I was thinking exactly the same - I never went but my goodness, I wish I had! I also hadn't realised that many of my favourite records of that time weren't Wigan at all but were Cleethorpes sounds. Great stuff.

Love this, yes you can hear the feet, reminds me of the queue to get in. You could just feel that throb of the dance floor. before you even entered the place. One of the happiest times of my life, travelling in from Doncaster by Train. Me, Saus, John Philips all worked for the Railway at the time. Cheap Fares too. Happy Days. The Pier, was Brilliant. The Winter Gardens too. I well remember walking through the night to the Winter Gardens. The Whole Experience Magic. Thanks Again. Edited January 6, 2008 by 45cellar

Sharon Cooper Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Talk about taking you back in time..Can it really be 33 years ago when I was stood on a freezing February night (EE by gum thats when Februarys were really freezing!) just around my 17th birthday, shaking in a cotton dress queueing to get in! Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks very much for the memories.

Oh grow up, if you don't want me to post any live tapes without asking you first, just say so. I got it in the post off Andy yesterday, I never heard it before so I thought I'd share it with everyone, I thought it was his and didn't know it was already circulating.

Guest skorpiano Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 eve of eden on buddah = paradise of fools Got a sound clip/mp3 then?
Pete S Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 eve of eden on buddah = paradise of fools It's actually called "Parade of a bunch of fools" Mark. For years I thought it was called "Parade of fools" because thats how it was listed on the old Emidisc list where you could get anything cut via the back bar at Wigan.
