depends on the label, came out on at least two diff on U.S. plus french (and spanish?) EP

They must have almost doubled in the last few months as I was there in May(?) and there was about 100 - 120 people in... comfortably busy....

I think the reissue has a blue Pye label.....

Word of warning to anyone looking to buy this EP without handling it first (ie online) - it was reissued during the 'Mod Revival' - same cover but a paper bag instead of card - Pye Flashback series on label

I know.... usually the local Trades and Labour club outing - take the kiddies to Skeg for the day... brrrrrr! reminds me of my youth and loads of wet and windy days out.

The Wigan revival in the shopping centre - just to see if people were actually daft enough to get up and dance to the Champion on the tiled floor outside Specsavers.

The Cold Coast more like..... Unless your alluding to all the Chavvy Bling on Skeggy front. Never in the history of holidaying have so many Gold Chains and Shell Suits been paraded along a coastal resort town.

Bet you wish you'd never bothered.... LOL

Yorkshire covers parts of the East Midlands, Humberside and the North East so it's difficult to fit it within the parameters that you have set. Very few people from South Yorkshire would say that they are from the East Midlands, most people from Leeds would say they are from the North as its pretty much central in relation to the North East/North West....

Billy Sha Rae - Pitfall - Rapid $5 on eBay a couple of years ago... was buying a Five Royales 45 off the dealer, so had a quick scan thru his other items for sale.

City A has a soul night getting a couple of hundred in, drawing in people from city B, C and D as well. Some of the people attending from City B see quite a few people from their area in attendance and decide that they could put on a night in their city and not have to travel quite so far for a night out. The Soul night at City A loses about a sixth of its regular 'punters' in one fell swoop. City C is inbetween city A and B, so many of the people from that city decide to alternate between the venues each month as "City A will always be on next month", causing a further loss. City A's venue is now down to just over 50% of it's regular customer base, the venue is slightly too big and it's difficult to get an atmosphere going... People from Cities A, B, C and D bemoan the lack of atmosphere and start dropping off slowly but surely. City A's club decide to stick to there guns, booking decent DJs, trying to ride out the storm. Finally after a few bad nights City As promoters can't afford the venue at a loss so the venue closes, and instead of one decent sized venue with decent music, you end up with a couple more smaller nights popping up for a couple of months at a time whilst 'wannabe' promotors/DJs get it out of there system. So who's at fault? City B's promoters for wanting a slice of the cake? City A's promoters for not changing their formerly successful format? City C's customers for splitting their attendance instead of being 'loyal' to one club? Sounds a bit daft but it happens....

There was some instrumental/jazz tracks released on the label (somebody Lyttle springs to mind, with a track called 'The Snapper') so it could well be in that mould.

Go to say John Mandships price on this is about right... seen loads of M- sub £100 copies in the R&B sales boxes, presumably a decent quantity was found. Can't get on with it myself.

I think the term your looking for Rod is a "All the Hits By All The Stars" DJ or "Northern Stars on 45"... I used to co-promote an Allnighter at Sheridans and my co-promotor was in charge of booking DJs, and kept booking a DJ who played the same spot as Roger Banks (but three years later)... couldn't see the point, esp. since we'd got the records between us.

I wonder if his nickname at school was "Hispants"?

Outside Greggs in a shopping centre in Wigan.....

Personally think its closer to Work Song or Chain Gang.... which ties in with the Slave song anology. Nice track but not something I'd break my back to get, must admit it gets better as it goes along though.

The Dutch knew about the pamphlet as they issued a series of LPs with the pictures on the covers (on IBC)

Thanks for the replies...

'bout £50...

How long is a piece of string?

I.M.O if a track was on a 'contemporary release' LP to the 45 then playing either out is fine... Playing tracks off Kent/Soul Supply/Inferno/Charly LPs I'd probably look differently on (except for previously unreleased tracks)

no all lps run at thirty three and a third....

Value? Not that it matters, as I got it in a job lot that wasn't much more than the seller said he paid for this individual track (and the rest of the pack was worth about three times what I paid for it). Just wondered if he'd had his leg lifted by somone, or if it genuinely rare?

Off the very rare U.S. 45. or the Spainish EP or the French EP
