======= hello stranger ,,,u ok mate

========= what about all the brilliant records he played steve over the years.... RW had his share of horror spins but surely these were outweighed by the good stuff???? i blame the dancers meself for dancing to them,,it was them that made it big surely,,i was told this was a huge record at the time..

========== but dave thorley took this to a new level of popularity at the early days of stafford circa 82/83...........

======= leicester 2nd anniversary and warrington parr hall niters were the closest to the Wigan atmosphere since the casino closed...imo of course .. the 3 before 8 at the end of an era is even more phenominal!!!

========= omni covered as david porter ,,is this the tape where RS says' one of the records that bridge that gap between the 60s and 70s'...never liked it in the 80's but love now.. im sure soul sam covered this as well with another c/u name ..ill have to dig it out .. mike jamison - on lake covered as men in the moon,,,nice tune that one also the marvel love c.u as jb moore fab one that too...

[honey drippers - i can't stop you from doing/streakin - alaga - £30 reduced to £25 ======== this is a great record imo took me ages to find out this was on an old casino tape .... best mark

====== gulp i was drunk this morning!!! - only joking,, sally sagoe is ace imo of course!

======= dave iremember one night at stafford u played soul train gang - soul train 75...a mecca play????

======== ive not heard the tape but have got it somewhere.. for me it epitomises wigan - it had something for everyone,,,oldies newies stompers and shufflers....the whole kibbudle.. musically all the sounds played there have shaped my musical tastes forever...8 years of musical magic.

======= its a real good record as well pete...bad luck mate...

===== i do like mid tempo stuff and have played some at the marrs ben brown - ask the lonely and gene vito - undiscovered country ,jerry jackson - its rough out there spring to mind... but mainly an uptempo guy,,dancing and djing

====================== some great points there mate some i agree with some not but heres my take on ian levine when ian returned i didnt really know what to expect but then i heard his shows and jazz fm and played stuff i hadnt heard ever and found them quite inspirational , i liked his passion and his style of music to be honest,,couple this with his history on the scene i found and still find ian a fascinating character but am sorry we never got to see more of his knowledge and good sounds come through. ian is/was a difficult guy to get on with but i felt once you got past the barrier of mistrust there was a real nice guy in there but on his myspace he does say he doesnt have time for guys he didnt connect with,hence his 'arrogant' nature to some. the 'four vandals' was the death knell for ian and was the last in a line of clashes with the current scene at the time ,, ,i personally found it a shame as i feel he could have contributed alot more to the scene and he certainly inspired me to look for underplayed 60's & 70's oldies from the mecca ... i dont think ian will ever come back but thanks ian for the memories however short they were.. regards mark
