SHEFFSOUL

so..were these tracks recorded especially for this budget series..or were they pulled from existing recordings that never made it to vinyl/ were not considered single worthy?

so what was the point of the album?..it seems a bit sub standard..

SR & Miracles..i heard it through the grapevine. LP, Tamla motown/sounds superb. did any of these tracks come out on 45? UK or US most notably his version of More , more, more of your love?

my demo boot of Mel Williams-Can it be me'..is clearer than my issue..both ex nr mint....

tony & tyrone demo..loud n clear..

from memory of my live tapes early '74.. probably Kev Roberts plays ..The Free Takin it away, Ila Vann you made me this way, and maybe Pep playing cool jerk '68 inst and Hollywood a go go..

in NME back in 1973 i think..Ian Levine lists SM as one of his top plays...

a VA VA fave..

it is indeed...thanks..HNY....

..sounds like a la vern baker track..current tv commercial (which ive forgotten)...anyone know artist/title?

if it works for you..pls send a link...

bought a pair for £60 off the net from a reputable dealer..when i used them the sound was no different from those i'd intended to replace..so returned them and got a full refund..

lot of truth in this statement..even in the mid 70's..

sherwood amp..Mordant Short spks...

hope this is in the correct section...looking to replace a pair of ortofon pro s styli. Are there a slightly better quality type..for home use on Technics decks..to get a good quality sound from northern soul 45's..thanks in advance..

not surprised..he was totally divvy..and we all got collared...only by sheer luck did we not get prosecuted..

thats it Gary..yes he has..with me (Martin 'Elvis' Davis (ex Skegness) Gary Wade, Ray Chapman and a girl who#s name i forget..

Heres my take on it, i attended Wigan early 74 thru to early 78. I think M's opened late 74 around the time of the 1st anniversary.I used it when the main hall DJ was playing stuff i didnt like..usually Minshull..as when your on form and buzzing nicely you want to keep dancing ( generally speaking), i never thought it was a shit hole, but great way to roam around and chill out recharge.Many times M's was so packed you couldn't dance so you'd chill to the sounds..in the early days these were the tunes that were played Wheel,Torch etc then later as Wigan oldies..i heard many tunes that i only knew by name.It did get very hot..many of my pics are fogged cos of the temperature.I sneaked in via the rear street entrance a few times..one of the better things about Wigan was that there was the opportunity to roam about and chill in a small space if you wanted to..there were loads of them..Not only oldies were played in there..i remember hearing Jobell/orch ..The only time i saw things get nasty were in M's..upstairs..on a few occasions i spent most of the night in there..save to say..i always danced in the main room to Searlings spot..maybe JV's..also..on the whole a great place as an extra or add on to the the Main venue..fond memories..

hmmn..the guy in the bottom photo..was he from Notts?..if so , i'm sure i was arrested with him..(his fault) outside Wigan one Sunday morning..around 1977...
