Deffo played at Wigan.

Not heard it for years, don't particulary want to, but doesn't it end with an immortal line along the lines of

" any way, he's dead now" :thumbsup:

Yes it was, definitely JV, early 76

I suppose Id better own up- I bought a copy of this last month- then realised I was 35 years older than when I hear it the first time.

Shocking record- anyone want to buy it for 5 grand? :ohmy: or Ill swap it for the rarest piece of SH**E you can think of!

Well i absolutely love it, never heard it before but it hit the spot first play.

It's a little bit Kim Wilde which is why i probably like it, not sure how it got to be played at an NS do though, NS it most certainly ain't!

Simon :ohmy:

Think you might be right about losing it, it's superb imo & quite funny also.

I've played it 3 times now & every time the ringing bit starts at the start of the record i expect Dr Ring-a-Ding by The Soul Brothers to start playing! :wicked:

What about Al Martino 'Charmer' on Capitol? Got to be up there :lol:

BH

I can recall that AM was one of the many artists that were " involved " in releasing disco slanted tracks , in the 70s , but I cannot recall what " Charmer " sounded like ......

I sadly remember Johnny Mathis and his contribution to disco , with the dire " Gone Gone Gone " ........

I have remembered what the Al Martino disco outing was ........

It was his reworking for the " now generation " of " Volare " .......

No worries Malc, i'll probably be the only one on here who likes it, most will probably think it's cr*p!

Been mentioned on here before. JV did play it at Smanthas, but no more than twice if I remember correctly.. ( Once as the first record) And he didn't cover it there. He did laugh when he played it however. Early 76 as has been said.

Ahem Mr Burton Sir, pedants corner time. You mean "Nel blu dipinto de blu" Volare is not the actual title of the song. :lol:

I will try to get out more though. :D

My computer desk is in the corner , so I guess I was already there , my dear Mr M .......

All I can say is when AM did the reworking of " NB , DDB " , he must have needed the money ......

Or a part in an Hollywood blockbuster - as Johnny Fontaine .......

Malc Burton

Sorry Steve,

my recollection was he played it fairly regulary....along with Baja Marimba Band and Life "Cats Eyes".....the junk shops of south yorks must have been well fettled for this quality offering....

I remember it being played reguarly at Samanthas, St.Ives, and Kettering all-nighters through 75/76, though I don't know if it was a John Vincent only play, unlikely, since as awful as it is, I recall it being quite popular at the time :thumbup: , along with Walt Murphy's 5th of Beethoven :shades:ohmy.gifohmy.gif .

He played Cats Eyes covered as the Soul Agents "Grooving Alan. But that was before DS ( 1975 ?)and Baja Marimba was 77 ish surely ? I'm sure he would have played it at St Ives as he had some weird stuff on the decks down there :rolleyes:

As "Be nice to Russ" week is now over, I can agree - it's certainly as bad as anything Russ played. Must admit didn't realise that Mr V was behind Cat Eyes either - always chalked that one "down" to Russ.
