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

Write and performed some amazing sons, sad loss😢

Here's a list from Record World of showing  current singles in alphabetical order with "How Can I..."  on Caneil - 

 

 

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? 

The guy had amazing dynamic range and character in his voice. Has to be up there on any GOAT list. 

As said above, polythene rubbers are very, avoid the text if possible. Manship does a good clip on it. Works well with yellow labels too.

Mr Sheen spray is good for cleaning styrene records - use a soft record cleaning cloth.

Whatever you do, never put lighter fluid on styrene as removes the gloss and discolours it

Doesn't wax or silicone bread cleaners like Mr sheen leave a waxy coating? I've read this method is best avoided.
