No minority, it's a corker of a late 60s Brit pop record, and for that I love it. But I'll throw a beer can at the first DJ that dares to play it at a soul event these days.

My last post on the subject - this shop is within half an hours drive of literally hundreds of serious record collectors. The idea that there is anything of any value left at this point is fanciful.

Hi Paul, Yes a shame will miss this.....it also clashes with the Scottish (Preston) Weekender, Tineo Weekender and probably about 75+ soul nights......

amazing "I've worked here for 40 years"….that's a lifetime.

It would be ludicrous to think that there would be any real finds left in a store that has advertised widely for donkeys years.

A pretty glamorous gal!

I hadn't realised this was new material (blushes)…..will take a look….

82 just after the Casino closed Kegsy.....a vacuum vortex maybe......maybe in the NW they DID all leave to get married and have kids after all :-) (no replies needed) Or maybe they just went elsewhere. When did Parr hall and Morecombe start really motoring? 83 I thought?

Thanks for posting that Sean. We (Blackbeat) were more aligned (but not exclusively) with the modern scene at the time and that is reflected in the readers favourites and DJs. Venues - I am sure Stafford and 100 Club came out on top or pretty near? Steve

Hi Dave, I know you showed me that scan at News Year Eve Va Va Voom, but it really is amazing to think this got some sort of release in Japan….

Jeannie Tracy was here in supply as a newish release Soul Bowl had them……but they've all dried up, but this price is very very high indeed. Obviously two people really wanted it….

anorak! :lol:

I think this is actually a fair comment. In the context of 56 minutes of TV it has to flow and have a good story to keep the civilians tuned in. It's not just about trying to ram 50 years of history into less than an hour of TV. I thought it achieved that flow. It did give some explanation to the 76 split, Levine with his "I went too far with Sylvester" and Russ justifying playing pop stompers "because they got a good reaction". The Tony Blackburn bit was entertaining tho. It was a lowpoint and it was good to hear him describe his record as "awful" with so much conviction in his voice. I don't know why Norman Jay was on at all, since I can't remember him ever being around in the 70s....this the same guy that used to stand around listening to us collectors at the Soul Bowl stall at Victoria record fair in the 1990s....very odd choice for a talking head. That said there is a LOT that never seems to get mentioned, post Wigan to 97 really as everyone says....the European side of things (and beyond - Oz, US etc), the younger generation in London (who aren't trying top relive 1975 and are discovering their own sounds) the modern soul scene which ran in parallel in the 80s.....and certainly had its moments....etc . etc. You are never going to cover it all in less than an hour.

You are so harsh James......but on this we are aligned.

`What's up with you bunch of tarts?….they're both cracking records…..different styles but both v strong in their own right...

hi kirsty, It's the same or very similar. I'd need to have a serious listen to both....Steve

Hi Kirsty, found it - The Defiants Who'se cheating on who Show-Me -Town….Steve
