Agree that Mr flood's is hard to beat for northern dancefloors, Les McCann has to be the definitive version for me. 

Babe too!

Nice vocal, bit big on the production.

Very interesting - I know that feeling

I was too young to have gone to Wigan, but spent an unreasonable amount of time early - mid 90's thinking about it, feeling like I'd missed out, nostalgic for something that I'd never even experienced - bit strange really 

So I'm stood on the hacienda balcony in 1990 withy brother and he said, you know the younger lads used to stand on the balcony at Wigan and ask if the torch was better than this? looking down at a heaving dancefloor in station road. He said this, is better than both, as we looked at the insanity of the hac in full flow, never had that wanderlust since.

Backing ain't bad, and it's got a raw charm but that vocal, just to garage for me

Initially I was inclined to be a little cynical of thread as I thought it might attempt to pull out some kind of social or political aspect from songs. The perspectives from other members are really articulate and insightful on a subject I've given little consideration to. Music for me has always been more or cerebral experience and although I never study lyrics, certain lines resonate in a random way as they seep into my conscience. It's really thought provoking this, because I'm actually considering how I listen to music and take it's elements.

Write and performed some amazing sons, sad loss

Thanks, I was hoping you'd put forward your insight.Any idea about how he come to do this one off release on the label, or the labels connections?

I've tried to ad a real one on Discogs but it just says Caneil not a real label

Frustrating, that!

I've searched a bit and can't find out a great deal about this record, which really surprises me, considering how it it apparently was at the Casino. Doesn't seem any other releases on the label, and apart from it's connection to the Tof record label very little detail at all. 

I thought so but discogs gives me this

https://www.discogs.com/master/1411979-Joey-Dee-And-The-New-Starlighters-How-Can-I-Forget

You.cant purchase any of those, blocked from sale. 

Hi all was searching for this Wigan classic on discogs and find all of the caneil releases deemed unofficial, what was the genuine label for this? Many thanks in advance, geese. I know I'll get some stick but always loved this Wigan tune. 

Hoping Mark will make a speedy recovery. 

Going to be dead obvious here; 

Otis Redding - Otis blue

Marvin gaye- trouble man

( Only play this on rainy days)

Dave has comped the Lp that features Mill Evans. 
 

I compiled an Lp with Andy Rix and we were given the list of records they had the rights to licence with no interference, so presume Levanna will be the same.  The one we did never came out in the end. 

I remember you did the rare soul uncovered years ago.. excellent compilation 

Out of interest who owns Charlie, now?

One of his earliest recordings, old Lifeline spin for Andy Dyson

 

From an acetate I assume?

Both the constellations records where around and cheap in record bars on the 80's 

I was just looking at teddy's early career.  I'm surprised to find only a few releases from Harold Melvin and the blue notes, in the 60's. Can anyone enlighten or add depth? Was Teddy a late bloomer? which HMATBN's records did he do lead on?
