CD only - played off acetate in 77 as Sherri Gibbs. Bootes as Sherri Gibbs on TNT. No official release until (I think) Tony Rounce's compilation where he found Don't Start None.

It's not worth 2 grand. It may be the most perfect Northern record ever made though. There's nothing this record doesn't have.- A Review Of My First Live Wigan Casino Tape
What a pile of shite Russ is playing - but when you hear them in a different context i.e. the atmosphere of Wigan, they all metamorphosise into something entirely different!- O.v.o And C.r.&.p Venues
Third thing, see it's not an original, drink up and go home or see it's not original, make a few phone calls, Russ arives and arrests everyone- O.v.o And C.r.&.p Venues
Er...because you like the record and can't afford to pay £1000 for an original?- O.v.o And C.r.&.p Venues
The trouble here is - although Dave was playing great records, nobody was dancing, therefore he was not doing his job which is to get people to dance, is it not? He should have played something to get the people onto the floor. No offence meant to Dave by the way.- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
sorry but refosoul still timing out on me...here is the introdution to The Adventures Of Coloredman. In all honesty...when he says "Coloredman" and the music kicks in straight away, it sounds brilliant tedd_vann_2.mp3- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
I think what they actually say is "normal Walter Brooks". If anyone is honestly interested I'll record it- Micky Moonshine - Going Rate?
No I wrote Chris Rainbow on that day around 16 years ago, because my information was correct. Until I was proven wrong last week. But nobody in the years between has ever disagreed!- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
That actual one I recorded, I was going to sell it on next weeks list for 30 quid due to it being vg++. It's usually 50 odd.- Micky Moonshine - Going Rate?
Right, I've dug out my copy of that cd and can say for definite: there are two lots of sleeve notes, one is an overview of Northern Soul, which I did not write (I would not have made the mistake of saying The Puff Adder by Mike Vickers was covered as Boogaloo Investigator for a start) but I did do the sleev notes that accompany each track except for ones like David Essex which I admit to never having heard. Some of the stuff I wrote has been rewritten slightly. But I do remember doing it, no one is credited with the sleevenotes. I told them to include the great Stevie Kimble and Truly Smith tracks at the time, which they did. And Sonny Childe's version of Giving Up On Love which was unknown.- Micky Moonshine - Going Rate?
No, I don't know or remember, I know had something to do with them though, probably gave them hints at some of the tracks they'd never heard of...- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
As Bogue said above, it was on a truly excellent compilation called Capitol Soul Casino, which also invluded Sam Williams, Nancy Wilson, Alexander Patten, the only bum number being Theme From Police Story.- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
Official UK release that is mate, from 1978. It must have been theme from a radio or tv series, and the original US copy has the monolgue on the other side too- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
It was quite a short lived record really because at the time, Capitol in the UK had someone who was quite on the ball and they issued this just as it peaked. Alan Rhodes was the first Wigan dj to play it, then Russ and Richard both played it, then it was over. This was at the time Wigan was going through a sh*t stage to be honest, but hearing it just now, it sounded very powerful.- Micky Moonshine - Going Rate?
Did I ghost write the sleeve notes for John Reed by any chance- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
Will do it this way then soon as refosoul is working again I'll remove this and do it properly, hope that is ok? teddy_vann.mp3- Don't Laugh - Just Played This And It Sounded Brilliant
Not sure I ever did - used to talk a lot around that time and not dance - Value For Dean Parrish - Determination - Boom 60016
