Chalky Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Someone asked for oldies by era, Wigan, Torch, Highland Room etc, I suggested separate topics for each so they didn't get lost or mixed and could easily be defined as an oldie from a particular venue. So to start it off lets have a week of oldies from arguable the most famous venue Wigan, early stuff, later stuff, the pop who cares!!!!! We've already had a superb Stafford topic sop this could enbd up a pretty good mini series, a better reflection of the venue than any cd will give you.

45cellar Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) No words can describe the impact this record had at the time it was played at the Casino...still get goosepimply swhen i hear it ...Delxxxx One Reason Why History will repeat itself, one day. Records like this will never die. Unfortunately I don't own this, but what a record. Someone a lot younger than me will hear this for the first time and Wow! This Scene will continue beyond my years, I'm positive. Edited July 18, 2008 by 45cellar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Frank Polk - Love Is Dangerous - Capitol Big Minshull play in my time there, already on refo but only 1 minute, though we deserved the whole one. Just proper Northern Soul to my jaded ears. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Rock Candy - Alone With No Love - Don-Tee Pretty sure this was Evison who played some fantastic stuff in last couple of years, not 4/4 only by any means, and quite decent soul music, believe it or not, to quote another monster of that great time.

jocko Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 The Twilights - You're The One - ? Gary R, master of the new 60's that was too come, liked his beachy stuff, and in all honesty not sure this would get me as excited as it did then, but great memories of a great DJ who paved the way for sounds to come in my opinion Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul Shrews Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Seemed to be for ages (but it may have been a couple of weeks ) that Richard Searling would start his spots with, Betty Boo, Cecil Washington(Joe Matthews) and Vickie Baines (Christine Cooper)..........................happy days. Still love 'em all Cheers Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
