Crickey Flynny, you got two copies there? I know your a big collector, but that just plain greedy mate :-) Aid.

Ahhhh.....the soundtrack to my youth. Possibly the biggest sound (in my day) I ever heard at Wigan. Presume its blued eyed, not sure how soulful it is, but a great record all the same. Not seen too many of these about Mark. Good luck Aid.

We were sat in them downstairs watching some of the early shots (most people were upstairs watching from the gallery then), i told my mate that those three bottles of orange had been on that table for a while & that some of the production crew mustn't want them, as it was so hot & he was gaggin, he took a swig form one of the bottles...........they were props......., with pi*s tasting water in........absolutely cracked me up. Yeah, generally, think they got it spot on, & after some post production, sure it will be great, can't wait. Aid.

I had a great day, really interesting watching the production team at work too. We were chatting to Brent & he was off to a gig Nuneaton niter that that evening so a long day for him I imagine, made me chuckle watching a bouncer shuffle during Sealing's set with his dickie bow on, but I think he was spot on for a Wigan bouncer. Lots of little touches I was impressed with as Carms says, the hair of the actors, & it was generally longer then & the attitude was right on the money. Also the dj smoking & in generally the smoke filled air. Not sure about when dj said 'take no prisoners', don't think that type of dialogue would have been used & me personally would drop that. Another point, the stage was always three rows deep with bags/cassette recorders/coats it was empty. The balcony was deffo wrong, but not much can you do given what it there. The dancers were fantastic, I think they have a hell of a lot right & besides my picky comments I think its gonna be spot on & am excited about seeing it. Don't want to hear Duke Browner for a while though. Did anyone else notice the guy from Ocean Colour Scene? I'm sure it was him, but I could be wrong, he was just there as a northern fan like the rest of us I presume. Aid.

I'll tune in to hear the great man me thinks. Can't stand TN though, what a condescending tool. Aid.

Yeah I know, maybe might get a part as a cloakroom attendant, a dab hand with raffle tickets me :-). To be honest, just looking forward to the session afterwards, should be a good fun day anyways, can't wait. Aid.

I'm going, can't wait, nice little session lined up after filming too, which I'm most looking forward to, should be a good day, hoping to get me kipper on the silver screen, next stop L.A he he. Aid.

Don't know if it's any help to you Bob but they released a track called The Metropolitan on Alco 1006. Aid.

It just my opinion, but I love Johnny Caswell, even after a thousand times. Like Tommy Navarro too, not sure how soulful it is, but still love it just the same. To each their own. Aid.

Ha ha, yeah bit of a pub singer song that Paris Blues (I do like it though) This has go straight in at number one for best Nothern pub singer song awards. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1fpHwWpqG60 Aid

it's a funny one this, cos there's 'overrated', which I presume, we mean, we just don't get it at all. But equally, there's records you hear, that you used to like, or even love, you don't hear them for a while & they sound cr@p, or vice versa. But anyways, heres a couple of mine for what its worth & my criteria is, I just don't get em (but know everyone else seems to love em), so I'm not saying they are cr@p, just don't see the fuss, just my opinion mind: BOB & FRED I'll Be On My Way, I'm sorry, but I struggle to even see this as soul music. ARIN DEMAIN Silent Treatment, now I used to like this years ago, but two minutes of it gives my a migraine now & I lose the will to live when I hear it. I realise I could be committing sacrilege here, so I say again, its just IMO. Aid.

This intro takes some beating, especially played out full blast. Aid.

That gazoo thingy at the start always makes me burst out laughing, it's just not right, keep expecting a Goons sketch to kick in. Aid.

Satintones Angel on Stripy Motown is a tuff one I think. Aid.

Don't know if already been mentioned but Ernest Mosely, Stubbern Heart, great opening notes. For an opening to a slow one I like Tony Clarke, Wrong Man & for just a classic Northern tune the Shane Martin I need you takes some beating. Aid

From the old days, Constuction, Hey, Little Way Out Girl. Stuff I'm listening to these days, for a great intro, Brook Brothers, Looking For A Woman, the start is just so cool IMO. Aid.

The Springers Nothing's Too Good For My Baby. Jackie Beavers Need My Baby. Parakeets Love You Like I Do Vince Apollo I Bear Witness. Aid.

Heres one on now to illustrate my point (obviously I'm not going to get involved, I wouldn't have posted the link otherwise) in point, fairly rare record here I think, rare label (Bob will confirm rarity?), does't come up too often, the seller has mis-spelled the title 'U' & leading with a title & picture from the weaker side, currently $10 as I post with an hour to go. https://www.ebay.com/...9 #ht_500wt_985 Aid. p.s. this is a good seller too who usually knows what he's doing, I've had a few from him.
