Probably about 70% of my boxes from 1974 - which some sod borrowed in about 1982 and i never got back will have to try and rack my brain cell - Paul Fry N Wales where are you I wan't my boxes back!!!! (not for the vinyl but those schweppes crates are hard to get hold of now) yes.gif

Unfotunately some of it is coming back to me now. Maybe I had subconciously supressed them, and won't be seeking hypno therapy to bring this one back!!

(Win Place or Show) She's a Winner - The intruders AAGHHHHHH.

Oh come off it Ged - White Plains was never played, how could it have, it was in the top 20 in 1970 or thereabouts.

Elusive sounded great blasted out.

Petula Clark...oh dear

I may have suffered from a chemically induced memory schism on the white plains but wigan 78ish I think. Someone will know - about same time as pet clark I think.

I though babe ruth was released post midnight 31st dec 1969? yes.gif

I agree with you on the first two but how dare you mix sign of the times in with this sh*te. Gets spins in "My Front Room" events - one of mr smirnoff's favorites

I never even heard of that...was meant to be records that were once massive - sorry if I missed out on that one  :rolleyes:

link

could have swore that Sugar Dumpling got played at Cleethorpes on Good Friday?? I won't vote on it though.

What about 'Along comes mary' 'Baja Marimba Band'. wacko.gif

Another Mr Levine special

L J Johnson - Your Magic Put A Spell On Me.

How fast was that???!!!!  :rolleyes:

link

Can we not dismiss all of the "Levine" productions?

A couple were "reasonable covers" such as Johnny Bristol "Man up in the sky", but by and large as a genre we could largely write them off - couldn't we?

you may think that the records mentioned in previous threads as garbage.But i can say that current records like kenny thomas frank barlow and a host of modern and r/b are just as bad or if not worse.Probably thats why alot of people are off the northern scene is because they dont play tunes like wombat/babe ruth/destination unknown e.t.c .Everybodys different.

Not feeling inclined to open up that old "Pandoras box" about what is / isn't "Nsoul" at this time of day.

Glad someone likes it though, and I bet Pete S probably does too - I just don't class it as "credible" for the rare soul scene, and I don't think I am alone.

Thought it was a joke when I first heard it at "Wigan" in 1980 - my opinion has never changed on it....God I hope it's not in the process of being "revived" :huh:

I'll start:

THE CHERRY PEOPLE - AND SUDDENLY

Always associate Present with the  Oddfellows. Maybe because its on the Leicester video.

link

Love a copy of the Leicester video...I'm on it somewhere!

Usual story... lent mine out to someone who lent it to a friend....

Wouldn't mind a copy again if somebody would be so kind?

obviously some recompense would be in order.... :rolleyes:

Gary said it was a very small event.Not the bra busting events that my mates puts on :huh: shame on you Reg...Come on Gary and make my day..

link

Quite right Stevie, not Kings Hall. However there is a very small connection, tenuous to say the least :rolleyes:

Yeah I love it but hand on heart I had no idea it had been played as 'northern', I have it as a garage punk record and one of the best, especially the organ solo :rolleyes:

must be a Russ spin! But yes, great record, not a northern sound though

I have one somewhere, I'll give it another listen based on your  :rolleyes: expression.

link

I think a lot of these records don't stand up in the cold light of day - but when you used to hear them played out, loud, they took on a different guise altogether. I mean, you couldn't listen to something like Broadway Cissy at home because it's a mess and doesn't make sense, but at Wigan it sounded incredible..

He has played some most "bizarre" records Andy - "Paint it black" was also one of his "finer moments in soul" I seem to recall.....as I recoiled in horror from the hallowed Wigan dancefloor at 7.15 one Sunday morning....but we cannot mention that, as it is an instrumental. :huh:

I've just "relistened" to the Del Rays Inc again for the first time in years and "reappraised" it. Don't agree that it's "fantastic", but I do wish to "delete" it from my previous list, as it's not bad. Is this allowable? :rolleyes:

link

I played the wah wah guitar solo on that record :huh:

Lucky Charms - Tied to your heart

keith

Jewels - Togetherness

Main Change ? - Sunshine

The Jewels are a class act! and Black Power is skit. I can tell you a venue that plays them every once in a while (but only when Danny's not looking :rolleyes: )

Wendy did I promise to send you some cd's, because if I did, I apologise but my PM box got full so I deleted the lot...honest :rolleyes:

I think there are so many brilliant records that could never make a come back. Most of them because they have never gone away. :)

Sometimes, no strike that - all the time I wish some of them would disapear for 5 or so years then perhaps they would elicit the special responce that I get when I hear some fantastic tune I'd nearly forgotten :)
