DJing at Cheltenham one night , just about to begin my set and opened my record box upside down , with the result that 200 records landed upside down in the lid .....The guy just finishing his set said " I better play one more while you sort yourself out " ....total chaos but funny now I remember it .....
I know some of the records like The Adventurers and Gloria Jones were considered Richard's Va Va records .I know there was a practise of sharing the sounds around from Va Va's and The Cat's for instance , via acetates , so could it be possible that these particular records made their way to this early Wigan playlist by this way ? Look forward to playing the tape , well done to Pete for unearthing a piece of history .
Haven't heard the tape yet ,but didn't Richard join the Wigan rosta of DJ's some months after it opened , and not as soon as a month after opening ? If I'm wrong then happy to be corrected , that was my take on it .Cheers ,Eddie
