Terry's not exagerrating mate, not sure if you'd get a playlist off Danny though

Dont have to think back too far mate, did exactly that last Saturday at Burnley and will be doing it on the 27th at Lifeline

Cheers Ian, is the said Lp difficult to obtain anyone?

Exactly!! You wanted to be part of an elite, underground scene that set you apart from the rest. Not one that was watered down, commercialised and full of tw@ts who didnt have a clue and made what was special to you a laughing stock!

Just playing some old tapes and came across this, had forgotten all about it. Is it an LP only track?

At one time in my life I used to wish I'd been old enough to go to the Torch and early Wigan years, mainly due to older lads forever telling us how good it was. Now I'm glad I didn't cos I'd now be nearer to 60 than 50 rather than the other way round, like some of you old buggers on here! Started Notts Palais dayers in 75 aged 15 and Wigan in 78, never claimed anything else As a 17 year old at Wigan I cant remember too many younger ones although there would have been some

Very true, they'd all stand with their arms folded and look at you like you'd got two heads! Fairly regular play at Burnley over the last few years BTW (Stu Bennett)

Brilliant piece andy!

Got to say I agree completely, if it was cheap it would never have received any attention.

Cant remember the first time I heard it but Do I Love You was a massive part of my youth, great memories of a fantastic time. Got fed up with it in recent times but probably the most significant record played on our scene ever. Not forgetting his other contributions of course but you can't get away from the impact of this record. RIP Frank and thanks.........

Yes it was mate, I've got your madeline bell still with the original sleeve saying"original copies" ( must have been on the wall) Dont know if that was where Huzij got his frank beverley from (also now in my box ) although thats an issue

I can completely understand the pre arguments for for me personally its post, the amount of info I've learned makes up for the negatives

God only knows

:ohmy:

Thats class Terry

Its like a footballer who gives 110%

You're always right

Case closed m'lud

I'm sparta.... Steve

Drip!

No & yes, get it played

Crikey, just listened to this on youtube I reckon I haven't heard it since about 76! I think I'll leave it another 36 years before I bother again

Same with us at the Attic Andy

As always there's no black and white with these things Ged. I take your point about Rita & the Tiaras and others that slipped through to the other side but I still reckon that 95% of the records wanted/accepted by that crowd were/are plays from pre 77. My views are based on the East Midlands scene when all this was happening, mid 90s onwards - countless times I saw a record played from outside the golden years clear the floor. Next record - Salvadors, Epitome of sound, Tomangos floor full again! The later sounds were familiar to me cos my time at Wigan was 78/79 and at that time most of the older lads from Mansfield had stopped going anywhere. I used to and still think what the f*8k is wrong with these people?
