Memories Of The Casino
Thats a very typical comment from Tony,and a Yate type of humour,bet Harrys still trying to work it out(them Wigan bouncers had no sense of humour)i still recall those famous words from Harry"no pushing at the back"i used to think to myself why dont the thick twat open the door and let us in then there wouldnt be any pushing at the back.

We used to call him the Mummy for some reason,i know he used to let you into that space behind him so you could have a blast without being desturbed iff you crossed his palms(bandages)with a pound note(lot of money back then)

Bailey's Doncaster 75
Hi Malc,i allways thought Mary Chapman had something to do with the running of this particular event.I remember there was bad floods that weekend and we had trouble getting to it,on arrival they wouldnt let us in,this woman spoke on our behalf and we were allowed in.Didnt fancy a trip back to Derby that night.

My Dear Heart - Diana Ross
To be honest i'd never heard you or Dean play it,Twas the word going about back in the day and as you see on this forum its still the word,personaly i dont give two hoots about the record anymore,but your friendship is important to me so anything ive posted in error i apologize for unreservedly.I hope this doesnt affect what has been a long standing friendship with both yourself and Julia.

My Dear Heart - Diana Ross
I dont think too many people would say its better than S R version but its another alternative that i believe was worthy of a play,You could liken the alt version of the Coasters Crazy Baby song,or even the recent Just Like The Weather that Butch has played,Each to their own i guess.

My Dear Heart - Diana Ross
Time to set the record straight,this particular female version was firstly picked up by myself whilst in Detroit in 1992 I got it from the guy who was the engineer.One track was a single vocal take,next track was because the vocal is weak they mixed two vocals together in an attempt to give the song body.Track three was the backing track(the same as used for the released version S Robinson)The recording was done at Golden World in i think 1965 and the engineer said it was D Ross.This i found hard to understand at the time she was of course contracted to Motown and had already had a couple of hits,but i wasnt going to argue with him.On the odd occasion i DJed i would play it.Some time later i allowed a well known person from Notts (KWS) a tape copy in full,next i know Dean and Kitch are using it in their sets on the understanding it was a KWS discovery.The things people do?Much later i spotted it on a Todmorden CD when they done a deal with Don Davises brother along with a load of other stuff.The name B Mercer makes more sense as the vocalist.

Singers With A "lisp"
Not so much a lisp ive always thought likely a gap between his front teeth,BEWARE BEWARE on MIDAS when the break comes in the middle listen good you may just here it(might try slowing the record down to make it more easy to pick out)

Carnival
Had the lot -3 collected them mainly between about 1978-and early 80ts.Everyone used to laugh and ask me why i was collecting that label,well i proved them all wrong in the end.Of course Adey C then put out 3 Carnival CDS Great stuff.A couple to look out for but not so easy are THE TRENTEENS,not that good but colletable in the States.The Manhattens,THERE GOES A FOOLnot easy to get and early but very nice.What i think is the rare one,well possibly THE PRETENDERS I WANNA BE.(red and white label)who knows.
