As has been said many times before most oldies DJ's are fixated with the period 72-75 (ish) When I started going to nighters in 78 most of the crowd from this "golden age" had disappeared, to return 20 years later - anything that happened and the records played during their absence doesn't exist for them. Anyway don't want to get onto that overplayed oldie of a subject

Here's a few more from the above that I reckon haven't been played that much over the years: Carol & Gerri - How Can I Ever Find a Way Prince & Princess - Stick Together (lot's of requests according to RS) Johnny Hendley - My Baby Came Out of Nowhere Paula Durante - If He Were Mine Demures - Raining Teardrops Herb Johnson - I'm So Glad All worthy of plays at an oldies night I reckon

Of course Pete, I think all the better records among those I listed were oldies at that time. Cant remember who was on on at the time I was recording, it was after searlings spot so Minshull or Evison maybe?

Havent heard it played out for a long time!

Pop or not it was still great being there at that time, although I must admit I would have liked to have experienced it in 73/74. You cant control when your born though

Well bugger me I've got a tape from the very same night - taped on your recorder!! Would have been later in night after you'd finished, one or two repeats Paul Anka - when we get there Del Capris - Hey Little way out girl Teddy Vann - Coloured Man Herb Johnson - I'm So Glad Shawn Robinson - My Dear Heart Jason Knight - Our Love Is Getting Stronger Al Kent - You've Got To Pay The Price Spinners - I'll always Love You Bob Kuban - The Cheater ? - A Touch Of Velvet Earl Van Dyke - 6x6 Fi-Dels - Try A Little Harder Mamie Galore - It Aint Necessary Hesitations - I'm Not Built Johnny wyatt - This Thing Called Love Edward hamilton - Baby Dont You Weep Helen Shapiro - Stop & You'll Become Aware Joey Dee - How Can I Forget Sue Lynn - Dont Pity Me Walter Jackson - Where Have All The Flowers Gone Jerry Butler - Moody Woman Ambassadors - Too Much oF A Good Thing Showstoppers _ Houseparty Lou Roberts - Ten to One Tommy Bush - I Dont Like It Muriel Day - 9 times out of 10 Jewels - we Got Togetherness Dusk - Point Of No Return Bobby Goldsboro - Too Many People " " - Longer Than Forever Sergio Mendes - Love Music Dean Parrish - I'm On my Way Not vintage stuff by todays standards, but this was fabulous stuff for me at the time. I'd been going about 3 months at this time, aged 17 Things got better musically later that year and into 79. One unfortunate thing about this though is that even to this day the one record that reminds me of Wigan more than any other is Muriel Day

Been trying to sell a United Four for £25 (not mint) for a while, not much demand for it apparently

Well done for posting your playlist after what happened the other week, some nice tunes

Slightly off topic but anyone read Sidney Barnes' book regarding the Flirtations recording session for STHL ? Theres a reason why its so good

The joys of advancing years, we've got so much to look forward to Definitely looking forward to hearing the Salvadors for the first time (again) Who are you BTW?

look forward to that, need to save some pennies then An ebay seller you can trust 100%

I always enjoy reading other peoples views on things, especially those with lots of knowledge & experience like Tim Brown so thumbs up from me

Spot on. The reason they're not revived at typical oldies nights Stu is that if a record is not in the established core of "200" records that get hammered ad nauseum then they just arent given a chance. As Dekka says there is a vocal element who wont allow it and if, god forbid a DJ empties the floor, then its the end of civilisation as we know it - bags slung over the shoulder and out they troop Hence Dj's wont take a chance on these records for fear of emptying the floor and they play safe instead of taking a chance. A lot of these records are played in small pockets, you have to know where to go but I can't see things ever changing for the majority
