My Mum (god rest her) must have been a fan at one time, because for what must have been my 6th( around '64 ish) birthday she bought me the EP 24 Hours From Tulsa. perhaps it had some subliminal message, because one of the other tracks was "Mecca", and I went there a few times. Anyway, to continue posting a few "Pop" tracks as I have been recently here is Possibly Genes finest "Northern" hour Gene Pitney RIP Paul

When there was regular soul night in Pompey about 10 years ago, my Mrs mate worked behind the bar. She described it as " a load of old men dancing with each other" Paul

Had a white(demo) cat called Mirwood. My first born son is called Lee David(he's now 24) Paul

Hello mate . This is obviously a different Bobby Bennet than the one from Junior Showtime & You're Ready Now Fame Paul

Definately one of my favourite versions Freddie_Scott_open_the_door.mp3 Paul

I haven't heard the Radio 4 thing yet, the replay on the website apears to be playing another one. But reading through the general posts on this subject, there doesn't apear to have been many drug users at the Casino or the scene in general. Perhaps that's why I got paranoid so often. 2,499 people were obviously pointing at me saying "about the drug problem on the Northern scene, There he is". Thank feck everyone has grown out of it now. Paul

I'm sure I saw Supercharge Live in Ormskirk in about 75/76 I'm sure it was on the same bill as Mac & Katie Kissoon , at Edge Hill College I think. Feck knows what I was doing there, apart from drinking. Paul

Always loved it from the first time I heard it in 73. I don't know if it was played much prior to Wigan, anyone know.? Paul

Even got pressed/reissued around 1975 Silver label? Paul

Yeh, I mentioned it above, Karl Evans "Ooh Wee Let It Be Me" Paul

Oops, I missed the above post some how. Don't actually like Cajun Hart, but do like Louise Lewis, Vocal & instrumental, and the Karl Evans(Arin Demain) Version (Oo wee Let it Be Me Babe). All big in their day around mid 1974. Paul

I'd disagree about the Watts Band being a terrible version. It was the only version I have known for 33 years, and it was quite a big sound at one time. I do like the Zu Zu Band version though. First time I've heared it. Paul

That is pretty surreal. I like it in a Ska/blue beat/rocksteady kinda way. Paul

Always liked this in a poptastic sort of way. I believe it got a few plays in the Torch era ish Tom_Jones_Stop_Breaking_My_Heart.mp3 Paul

We did this in February /index.php?showtopic=24545, Vol 3 was one of the forst Motown Albums I noticed, but this was my post from before Has to be this one, I bought it on a cassette when it came out before I knew there was a scene. Loved it then, cassette long gone, but I picked this up mint at a charity shop for 50p. I still love it.was.

According to todays Express, the last music played on the titanic as it went down was also the first record played at Wigan. Just thought I'd pass it on Paul

While we are on this sort of malarkey anyone got an mp3 of Soul improvisations -Van McCoy Paul

oops! as I posted again in error, I'l also vote for the Glories Give me My Freedom, or Sing Me A Love Song. Paul

Got to agree with Tower Of Power. This one also does it for me. Intruders.mp3 Paul

My first born (now 24) is called Lee David, named after the Temptations Calling My Name artist. He doesn't talk to me nowadays. (My daughter Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels doesn't talk to me either) Paul

Just an emidisc album that were kicking around at the time. Not sure if they were done by Pete Lawson or Keith Bradley or one of the many purveyers of this sort of thing. Paul

Maybe, but there is also too much pointless politics, name calling, & slagging off. It's supposed to be a discussion forum, but many good discussions degenerate into crap. As for double standards, bootlegs are frowned upon, but it's alright if one DJ "cuts an acetate" of a rarity for another to play, we used to call them emidiscs. Just my, probably wrong, opinion though. The DVDs were great Pete. Paul

Must make my album with the mega in demand Wigan instrumental "Land Of 1000 Dances" worth £500 of anyones money Paul

I don't believe this record exists. "Leicester Tipton" Must be a cover up name thought up by a midlands DJ. Paul

Wasn't it one of simple simons Earl Wright Cover Ups Road to Ruin? Paul
