imagine being in the casino/your top nighter and its packed,and Baby love;Supremes starts comin`out the speeker,what the f***!!the place just starts dancing,shivers down me neck!!,a memory i will carry round with for ever,even then Baby love,was a out & out pop record,and proberly never wil get plays anywhere again,is there unusual records that did it for you,at your top nighter ie;torch,clifton hall,100club,stafford,twisted wheel,oddfellas,etc,oh!must not forget wigan.

Remember hearing the Pyramid at St Ives, blew me away. They played it a couple of times that night. I remember going through my dad's Brook Benton LP's the next day for a version or bizzare cover up scenario. Eventually got it on tape from Manship, then dare I say the dodgy Golden Eye pressing. Will get round to owning an original some day, some how

Safely we can say we where in same place same time etc,surely never got played twice.Ken

It could also be the sign of a good DJ, guaging when to drop in a well known record.

eg The 100 club 25th anniversary, when Mick Smith span 'Aint no mountain high enough', and brought the house down.

I think you will find that Dave used to play the Rueben Bell version on a regular basis not the Supremes......Good gear in those days effected your ears remember how good My hearts symphony sounded over the casino shit sound system! and how shit at home over a good one

One thing when people refer to some records that were played at Wigan etc,which seem a bit "odd" nowadays, in those days rammed fill of the best pills availiable most things sounded good.....

No Steve it was 100% definitely The Supremes, I had the tape I did for years after and played it a lot.

Now come on Steve, the best gear in the world wouldn't make Gary Lewis sound good. I remember hearing scandal about His dad Jerry Lewis beating his kids. You could see his point. I Thought it was a pity it didn't stop Gary being a "musician"(and as for "This Diamond Ring").................

My Heart's Symphony has a very nice string arrangement though

Never knew that it got played at all Steve - remember buying it as a new release (on Deluxe) but I've never thought it a strong enough version. Flip's nice if you like deeper soul ballads though...

Seem to have this vague recollection of Russ playing a cover of another Supremes record - think it was booted on a black label - "Back in my arms again" possibly? It's all very hazy now....
