The Cats Dark, Confusing layout, hot, drippy ceilings, loads of gear, great sounds.
Actually the epitome of a top nighter venue.
Not to mention the Wolverhampton drug squad who were always a
pain in the arse.
There is another version of Make My Love A Hurting Thing on Bang Bang, I remember getting
very excited about it when I saw it for sale on the net yonks ago.
When it arrived from the States I put it on the deck with bated breath, it turned out
to be a God awful Country and Western version, I was well p*ssed off.
Nathan Williams on Lime stone mint copy off the net for $5.
Sold it for 60 quid, its wasn't very well known then, the guy who bought
it is on here, he knows who he is.
This thread just about sums up the who played what first argument.
There are boatloads of sounds that were reputedly discover/first played in the 80's/90's
that were actually played in the early/mid seventies.
Stevens & Foster on Jerri anyone ?.
First played at the Mecca shortly after it was released, but you can bet most think some
enterprising 'modern room' DJ.discovered it in the last 10 years.
As Pete S said the record was known in the Torch days and did get a few spins back then.
It never really took off and has been played on and off all over the place ever since.
I've had it for over forty years, well I did have until somebody offered me 80 quid for it
