Around 2000, or 1/4 (ish) of Eddie Parker. or 400 fiver records or 200 tenner records. Think your question might have been a bit too "open ended"

It's not too bad either, I've heard worse.

Now, THAT is the sort of reply I was looking for on the other thread. Sadly wasn't to be....

T'other side IS a version of Bobby Moore

He's always struck me as one of those that you would like to think is a decent sorta bloke... Hope he is..

Don't think hearing different versions in the one night would bother me that much, so long as they were as different as say John Bishop Trio and Little Sonny's take on WITW.

I'd go with you as it being pre Wigan, remember Barry Tasker playing it at The Pendulum and saying that they had a few in Global-- probably in the space between Torch closing-Wigan opening

To everybody that I may of unwittingly confused. The title is not the question, nor is the answer 42.

F*kkit, Who Cares ??

Agreed, but THAT wasn't the question.

As interesting, or predictable, as this has become. Thank you to the less than 5% that answered the bloody question posed.

Fanf*ckintastic, nearly one each..

I would have thought that Mir A Don was first, seeing as it is significantly more expensive...

interesting-I heard that first in '72 and it was certainly not covered up then.

I wasn't going to be drawn into this part of the debate, but.... Your take on the Soul part is probably going to differ depending on where and when you first found the music.. I was a mainsteam(ish) Soul fan first and kept hearing things that were a little different to that and wanted to hear more-saw the adverts for The Pendulum, went and had my head blowed off...so to me the Soul part was the most important element (yes, I did listen to and to some of the Pop stuff--duidn't we all???) It was called Northen Soul by Dave Godin in his shop to differentiate the type of SOUL northerners wanted to buy from the funkier type stuff coming into vogue in the SOUTH. If you joined as a Post punk new wave Modernist, you take on the desirabilty on the Soul part of Northern Soul may be different to mine.

Okey dokey then. Thank you to Toad Pete S Grant Solidsoul petebangor who understood the topic. I think the rest of you need to start your own

And you called me Mad.. Be good to see ya bud, got the new 'un in Rochdale if ya fancy it. MTFM

As I went EVERY week from 73-78 the derision was not from me I was reiterating comments laid here and elsewhere that it was not all that... and yes, I would agree made by folk who, I believe, never went. I was hoping to see some of the GREAT tunes that were played, that we've forgotten about. Where's Mr. Freeman when you need him

I thought I'd asked the question in English... Obviously not ! Instead of knocking the old girl, I was hoping to see some of the GREAT stuff that was played there

So, we see it time and time again. Wigan was crap. They played a lot of Pop Crap ( Didn't they all??) So, how how about a defintive list of the GREAT stuff played at the old Place ??

I wonder how many go out as a "mere" punter when they're not "working".

Always remember that one of his regular links was with E.Rodney Jones----Never played R&B Time or Peace of Mind ,though

Velgo ??

This made me smile, A while back double decking with Ste, I played I Can't Change-Sensations/Yvonne Baker, he followed immediately with Lorraine Chandler-I Can't Change.... One of us might have been p*ssed
