Remember the night well. Top top bloke and sadly missed.

Given the group were from St Louis there is every chance you will find copies there. I haven't seen much in the way of trashing an auction, some silly comments yes and from some not much in the way of sense but hey ho what do you expect from some. I have seen one persons view challenged on the origins of the releases and after all why should we the one person's word as gospel. It is after all no different to what has gone on in record bars for years. What is known is there was two presses. One with damaged stampers. Given some of the input from some there is every reason to believe they were both pressed in Chicago. The question that remains is which came first and as none of us have any hard evidence it is open to conjecture. What is pretty sound knowledge is the were done from the same master. Now was the first set of stampers damaged causing the dimples so a second set made for the press on heavier vinyl? Or was the heavier vinyl done, taken away by the group for their own promotion. If that is the case then it could have done well locally or received favourable reviews and so a second press was done. But in the mean time the master was damaged which in turn produced a damaged stamper. So was the master damaged after first press giving the dimpled second press or was the stamper damaged on the first press giving a dimpled first press and so a second stamper made from the master for the none dimpled press on heavier vinyl? Most of the facts are there apart from where the disc was pressed and which came first, the rest will be argued over for years to come, probably by those who have one or t'other.

They probably recorded it in Chicago, took it back with them for self promotion, it maybe picked up a bit of action and so a second press done. As for the dimples, the plates got damaged/marked which then left an impression on the pressing.

can't comment on that as I'm way to young to be a Torch goer Surprised if it was though and left unplayed until the 80's, great Northern dancer.

Thank you, appreciated.

Yeah you are right, just seen some stuff form 1984. Not sure about the Three Voices being 84 though, will check up though.

Soul Promotions, Morecambe Central Pier began life April 1983.

85 I think Warrington started. It ran on the Friday night and Stafford was on a Saturday. It was the beginning of the Three Voices Soul Club when Kingy got involved with Stafford and Crofty at Parr Hall, three clubs coming together to cooperate and avoid clashes. Three Voices Echoes Ad for beginning of 1986.

Hi mate I don't care if you are getting a back hander, always worth sharing release details of this kind.

That'd be Watford Gap, not the town.

ffs...... June this year JM auction £464 Set sale March this year £450 Didn't sell reduced to £425 in April, still no indication as to whether it sold. Some ebay results on popsike .... https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=Hytones&incldescr=&sortord=ddate&thumbs=&currsel= What more do you want to tell you it ain't a 500 let alone 600 quid record?

Is it legit? Who is putting it out? Any links to the details?

3-400 IMO.

Yes because you got your argument and facts wrong and it was others who had a go at you not me.

I had a repro years ago with the correct B side, no Nashville Matrix or delta number etc.

There isn't any difference, same record, Johnny Burke is in fact Johnnie Taylor. Topic about is a few weeks ago.

Where do you get your information from Kev? Along with many others I was doing two nighters a week, three on a bank holiday, two soul nights and often a dayer, i went out Friday afternoon and got home Sunday night, the majority of nighters were busy. Just about every soul night from memory was busy. Yes we had the odd quiet night but they were out weighed by the busy ones. I wouldn't have carried on going to venues with no one in. People keep going on about how the 80's and early 90's no one went, usually by those with no experience of the time because they weren't there.

Just because someone doesn't like a record i can't for the life of me see the point in comparing it with another record and giving it a slagging when that record is completely different in style and also the clubs or DJ's that might play that record. We all have different tastes and it would be boring if we all liked the same. Not everyone likes Tommy Dent, get over it, it isn't the end of the world. Not everyone likes United Sounds and you know what, I couldn't care less to be honest.

It's far from a masterpiece. It's a mess of a record IMO. Now I know we love the music because it is often far from the polished gem but this is simply poor IMO and it wouldn't matter if I never heard it again. Have never liked it since I first heard it. The other side is better but only just.

You might not have heard them play it but how do you know they haven't got or had a copy. I'm not saying they have btw simply you just don't know unless you have inside information?

Dee Dee Sharp isn't it?

Why not just put the rare stuff on cd and play from that with the record just going round on the turntable? Cheaper and no different really, more sensible option really especially with styrene and some of the tackle used by some promoters.

But even if that was the case some of those involved had little relevance other than maybe travelling up from london the odd time and jumping the queue at wigan because he was a cockney....what a load of bollox. Same for Lisa Stansfield, no relevance at all really in the history of the scene. Why not use more of those who made the scene like Dave Clegg, there is bloody long list of people who really matter they could have used. Again lazy film making. But Wigan has been done to death so why bother at all?

Me too. Maybe they should have used a more relevant title for the program and not one that covers a scene that has been going for some for over 40 years, not just 10 of them.
