======= put it on ebay rotch although its not worth £72 this copy isone of the more desirable reissues of the 70's IMO u shud get a few quid for it mate..

==== in the defence of the buyer they got one of the best northern oldies of all time shame for that price they could have got a nice white demo

=========== the parr hall was sensational as an allniter,, the 1st annniversary there was awesome... one of the best since wigan..in terms of attendance and atmosphere.. ive never seen

gayle adams is probably the worse tune ive heard in years,,cant believe it went as big as it did..

[ G. DAVIS & R. TYLER – HOLD ON HELP IS ON THE WAY – PARLO M- 125 ======= id buy this over and over again 100% northern soul!!!!!

===== hi citizen great nites at leicester,,was there for the whole 6 years,, still smarting on not getting thru the dancing competition but have changed coats over the years!! shallow judges they were anyone ever see tommo from nottingham the one that won ???

=================== his version of 'hey jude' in my opinion is one of the greatest vocal perfornances ever put to vynil.. one of the first soul superstars and a huge loss to the soul world on another thread theres who woul you like to see over here perform wilson was one of two for me and the other was Babara Lewis rip wilson how we will ever know? fluff

=========== hi andy i only caught the casino right at the end,,and went the last three all niters...but the casino changed me FOREVER a few years later my mate gave me 3 tapes of the 5th anniversary from wigan and they BLEW me away with the atmosphere as well as the sounds. this not only started me on a 21 year pilgrimage to get all the sounds played at wigan but also collecting live wigan casino tapes,,,im currently upto 95 tapes of the casino from oct 73 to the end of an era ..and are as important to me as my record collection.... im also in the middle of writing a book about my live tape expliots and some of the sounds ive tried to get over the years.. ive got all the tapes catalogued and have identied some great forgotten tunes from this great era that have hardly seen the light of day since... spent many hours ringing up pete smith and others over the phone asking' whats this record - you've got to tell me' and the poor buggers could hardly hear owt down the phone.. for anyone that interested,,im ALWAYS looking to buy.sell swap my tapes for more of the same,,,im aiming to get all my fave oldies on a live tape and get all the sounds from the tape on vynil... anyone wants a copy of my list ,email me at wiganer1@btinternet.com ive also done a comp cd of the BEST atmosphere from wigan from 73 to the last night with some great tunes given the Wigan Casino treatment.. sad git aint i but I DONT CARE keep the faith mark 'fluff' freeman

======= know how he must feel lin l lost the bedworth civic hall last year despite getting nearly 400 in(through no fault of our own) and also got pushed out a regular dj spot at another venue so last year was a real bum year for me,,,but ive vowed as ive done many times before and bounce back with an equivalent or better and am searching at the moment in my area i hope he finds the right venue too regards mark

======= as long as it was played on a VIP issue or demo i dont have a problem

========= i considered seriously towards the end of last year in selling up and putting the ££'s to a mortgage on a bigger house,thankfully it wasnt a long thought 05 was a really shit year for me scene wise but i couldnt do it,ever never ever..26 years is too long in loving this music to ever sell my collection that ive taken a lifetime to collect... i admire those that can walk away but i know id spend a lifetime regretting it ,,i just know i would

======= rules was on 'this is northern soul' lp on grapevine

====== its a great tune col remember hearing this on the grapevine lp years ago who was that guy on the cover?
