Mark R Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Actually Ive spoken to a few people and no one remembers the final Stafford . Strange hey I remember it Si, but not the date.........it was when the owner stopped the music and got on stage giving everyone a lecture they didn't want. We established a while ago that this was the last night. But the date...............? Cheers, Mark R
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Sidney Joe Quails-I Dont Do This-20th Century Willie Pickett-On the Stage of Life-Soul Pot Eddie Hughes-Soul Seacher-Bard Inmates-This Is the Day-Kolpit Unique Blend-Yes, Im I Love-Eastbound God, there's some cracking stuff been discovered/played since the mighty TOTW........there''s life in the old scene yet !!!!. Russ
Simon M Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I remember it Si, but not the date.........it was when the owner stopped the music and got on stage giving everyone a lecture they didn't want. We established a while ago that this was the last night. But the date...............? Cheers, Mark R Blimey I'd say it needs that book writing before it fades away
Chalky Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I'd say Stafford went 83 to 86?? Where's Chalkie when you need him? Oops there he is. I've live tapes, some Robin sent me, from early '86.
Dave Thorley Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Blimey I'd say it needs that book writing before it fades away Doing the CD first with Ian, then maybe a book when I get the barns finished
Chalky Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 another from Rob, Videls - Ain't Gonna Do You No Good.
Chalky Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Started in 82, no??? Cheers, Mark R yep, 1st Anniversary was 2nd April '83.
Dave Thorley Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 yep, 1st Anniversary was 2nd April '83. That would make sence, I know we ran for close on four years.
Ian Dewhirst Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Doing the CD first with Ian, then maybe a book when I get the barns finished At least you can refresh yourself on the key details for the liner notes with the help of SS contributors, y'know salient things like opening date/closing date/DJ line-ups etc, etc! That Harold Melvin poster that Chalky just posted would be handy for the booklet too! Also we may need to track down a couple of music files too.......... Ian D
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Back on topic guy's............remember this is a POST Stafford thread .............get posting. Russ
Guest Roddy Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Dave, I will come down and finnish the barn for you (some cider and records are all that are needed) if you do the book.

Ian Dewhirst Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Back on topic guy's............remember this is a POST Stafford thread .............get posting. Russ Sorry for highjacking Russ. So I guess post Stafford will be mid '86 onwards.......? Ian D
Guest in town Mikey Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Was Gladys Knight's To Late.. Post or before or at the time ? Defo Stafford. One of Dave's I think. One of my faves all time.
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Was Gladys Knight's To Late.. Post or before or at the time ? During, but went big again for Butch after in the 9ts.....I think. Russ
Simon M Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 So when did Guy & Keb join the ranks. Im sure that was 1984 as Soul Sam left with Searling ? Heres a few post Stafford tunes Curtis Anderson " The Hardest part" Ronnie Barnes and Rush Hour " You got my heart" Push "Turn me on" Freedom "High on you" Hirim and Direct " Love flight"
Guest SteveJohnston Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Potentiall loads more...........so what are your post Stafford era tunes, you feel deserve classic status ???????????? Lord Luther & The Counts "It`s Tough" Lusan 101 I only know of this beeing a Mark Forrest spinn at Hip City so correct me if I'm rong but it sound fantastic up loud and a classic in the making IMO, Steve J Edited August 29, 2008 by SteveJohnston
Guest in town Mikey Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 There must be a whole swathe of Blackburn tunes. After Stafford closed this was the only nighter I really went to regularly, before getting involved in live music. Blackburn stuck with the quest to find and break new tunes, I guess under Guy's influence. Its a Pity Dan is taking a break, he must have a list of tunes popular at Coventry too.

Ian D Yeah, '86 to present I think would be good............wasnt being rude BTW Ian, there is just such a plethora of fantastic records been discovered & I think it'll do people a world of good to realise that great tunes have been discovered since & continue to be discovered NOW............do you lot consider the tunes mentioned already to be classics ???????????..........I think many are & stand up against the finds/plays from previous eras no problem what so ever. Russ
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 I can see you lurking there Rod, would love your thoughts & input mate. Russ

Prophonics 2029 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 What a record ! Old Wigan play great tune.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Arthur Prysock-I was a boy Not really a classic as I have the only copy, but was very popular at The Ritz for the four years I DJ'd there. Fantastic record, Dave - whoever it's by, 'cos that's definitely not Arthur Prysock singing...
Prophonics 2029 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Really Not both versions but yes it sounded sooo good in such a big room.
Soulof Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 September Jones - Give me all of yr love has that been mentioned ??
Guest Gavin Page Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Not both versions but yes it sounded sooo good in such a big room. I bet it did
Prophonics 2029 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I'm Coming Home September Jones was this a Stafford tune?
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Really me too............I'll be.........buggered me own thread , well, this is what its all about too. Russ

Russ This thread's really handy actually Russ. A lot of the 70's Nighter regulars had taken a break in the 80's & 90's to marry, have kids, advance careers and so forth, and maybe didn't get back into it for a while, so to many people both Stafford and post Stafford can be a bit of a blur musically - one of the reasons why there's so much ignorance about this era from some quarters. Many people simply don't know the tunes.......I'm still playing catch-up myself....... Also there wasn't much in the way of Stafford or post Stafford compilations to catch up with either. Did much of this stuff come out on Goldmine? Either way, it's certainly an era which needs documenting........ Ian D
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) I'm Coming Home September Jones was this a Stafford tune? Pretty sure it was, but can anyone confirm ????????. Jimmy Reed Jr-I Aint Going nowhere-Mercury ???????? Russ Edited August 29, 2008 by Russ Vickers
Guest in town Mikey Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 September Jones - Give me all of yr love has that been mentioned ?? Both of Flynny's September Jones discoveries are superb.
Guest SteveJohnston Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Fantastic record, Dave - whoever it's by, 'cos that's definitely not Arthur Prysock singing... whoever it turns out to be they can't half belt out a tune! It gets better with plays just conected the hifi to the pc to play this up very loud & treat half of Melton Mowbray to some real soul! ..................

Ian D Good point Ian............I think some have been comped, but dont neccessarily reflect that they are post Stafford, I also think that maybe Kent aside, previous eras are more commercially viable.

Prophonics 2029 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Mellow Souls, Blue Jays fingers crossed. I missed out on Stafford and there is a lot to catch up on, Chalky's sound clips from a few months ago are still ringing in my ears. Edited August 29, 2008 by Prophonics 2029
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Mellow Souls, Blue Jays Blue Jays was Stafford Im pretty sure.......altho again has been huge since...........I was pretty sure September Jones was Stafford Tony ????.......obviously has had plays since & yes I know David found the unissued September Jones cut imortalised at the Dome ???? anyone ???

Ian D Agreed - I never went to Stafford - or anywhere else much in the mid 80s, other than the National Film Theatre - so it's helping me to get a bit of new persepctive. Please keep the lists coming, y'all!
