we used to take our records witrh us and ask the guy behind the decks to play them. never paid big money for any record then .got them from various places. then the 70s came.wigan . and the rest is history.vinyl junkies n furtive jocks bumped up the prices of records .money was there to be made an the scene lost its innocence.

would also like to add,back then ,the lad behind the decks was usually some spotty spectacled youth or some tubby plonker neither of whom could dance or pull. nobody wanted to dj ,was more fun on the floor.

in the late 60s wen r werra lad we just called it soul . a mixture of motown an stax etc .top number round our way were drifters. s.n .a t.m. attended many crackin do,s mainly youth clubs n disco,s put on for us youngens in local w.m.c.s midweek.older lads n lasses who had bin to stoke n manchester started playin bangin sounds they had heard n it grew from there.remember this .the music policy was derived from the floor ,dj,s soon learned wot to n wot not to play,even back then new tunes were treat with suspicion and the cult of the dj was nonexistant.
