    That explains it, I thought I was suffering from something that's why I took all those drugs back in the day....

    The tune got played on mid morning Radio 2 yesterday, Gary Davies who was sitting in for Vernon Kay did his "Vernon's Vaults" section and reckoned it was ten years since the London issue copy came to light. Davies was telling the tale of it being one of the rarest records whilst the intro to the record was playing and said he liked the intro so much he would play the full record. He admitted that he had never heard of Darrell Banks or the song before but really liked it. Someone later got in touch explaining that it had been big on the NS scene for many decades and thanked him for playing it.

    The Casino was seen as some sort of Den of inequity for it's drug taking but looking back everyone was in one place and you could throw a blanket over them, compared to today where I doubt there is a toilet pub in the country without some traces of a drug in it. Innocent days in some respects.

    Interesting to see some of the folk who have been referring to the "Top 500" in deragatory terms for years now get to "contribute".

    Can see Russ's mind ticking over now thinking about the old multi storey opposite the baths in Wigan

    It was called Gerrys Inn (after Gerry Marshall) a smaller venue again with a small dance floor and bar. It used to open on a Mondays at one point and serve pints at 20p (when the pubs were charging 50p) a go. Regularily went to school on a Tuesdays with a bad head.

    Great shot of the roof there and the skylights. There was a small hatch opening opposite those on the triangle bit that you could drop into the cloakroom through (onto the roof from a wall at the side of the entrance to Mr Ms round the back) for anyone having trouble going through the front door for any reason.

    From your directions I could only think it would be the Horseshoe pub? Sadly no longer there. https://images.app.goo.gl/4vwFwjMDRbFMfQvE9

    As Billy Joel nearly once said, Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk It's still Northern Soul to me. I'll get mi long leather..

    Nothing Can Compare To You, Velvet Satins. Uptempo, crisp vocals that rattles along with a dance break to boot, an archetypal NS record that covers all the bases. Probably not even in my all time top ten but if ET ever landed and asked the question that's the one he's hearing.

    Yes that's the tried and tested answer, I was wondering why in the Doris Troy blurb Manship attributed it to Roger Eagle in 1964??
  23. Chatty
    So who did coin the phrase "Northern Soul" then........

    Lost Summer Love, Lorraine Silver the beer is flowing and I've said it and it is now out there in the ether till the end of time. Was being hammered by Russ when I first got to the Casino and one of the beauty's of a song like this is that it probably hasn't had a spin since so never pops up anybodys playlist.
  25. Chatty
    I suppose when the prices payed for records on Manships auction are met with a shake of the head on here every week some of that is a premium for having the piece of mind that you have purchased an original, no ifs no buts...
