    Well here's my 'acting the innocent' question, the reply and a response:

     

     

     

    Great tune - thanks for the soundclip. How would you describe this - original? 2nd issue? bootleg? As it had a decent start price I was hoping it might be an original.

    - Kev

     

     

    I am not an authority on this particular 45 I am afraid. I can say it came out of a collection not seen the light of day in over 35 years and one identical sold for $108.60 on Feb 15th according to an old listing.

     

     

    Hmmm, but you know it's a 'huge oldie' and you've been selling soul vinyl for 40yrs?  It's a bootleg so you must be hoping to have someone over by not alluding to that and by refusing to acknowledge it when questioned.

    - Kev

     

     

     

     

     

    I don't expect to see the question retained on his listing though. Then again, it's not a huge price so maybe the bidders know what it is and have more money than sense. Stranger things have happened.  For £60 profit I might try and locate my boot copy.

     

    :hatsoff2: - Kev

    I asked him the same question last week (about the Detroit Soul) and got the same reply about him not being an authority on that particular record.

    Having now seen this post i have just messaged him back asking for him to state that he can't guarantee it's originality on his advert. (I won't hold my breath)

    In the meantime if enough people on here asks him a similar question maybe he can be shamed into being a bit more straight forward/ forthcoming with his adverts? :g:

    It's interesting that it's always refered to as 'The Nostalgia Scene', yet I don't ever remember people stood around the Casino in 40 year old clothes waiting for messers Winstanley and Searling to play the same 20 records every hour. Very often a track would go from unknown - to floorfiller - to pressing plant - to being dropped from the playlist, all in a few weeks...... shame they couldn't be a little more 'Nostalgic' for that side of the scene. :(

    You discover, break, play the records at the pace today and you've cracked it, That's  exactly why it's a nostalgia scene! :g:

       

    They are massively over priced and from the same seller and they've been on Gemm for months unsold.

     

    The demo and issue on SS7 are still around £80 to £100 and the 77 reissue should be no more than £40 to £60 tops.

    Your not kidding, someone sold one on here a couple of weeks ago on 77 for 8 quid! :g:

    Yes , Siz  would definately have djed there , also i remember Hovis from Oldham or Rochdale  djing ,  Think Siz and Tony Just  took over where Martin Christie left off with their  Sunday all dayers at The Ardri in  Hulme , I think round about this time the pair of em cashed in on the 79 mod revival  by slanting  some events that way . 

    I remember Hovis was hanging about near the entrance talking to somebody whilst waiting to do his spot when someone came out and told him the fellow djing at the time had just gone into his record box and was now playing his copy of Kenny Gamble TJOY which was an exclusive at the time. If you thought Usain Bolt was quick off the mark you should have seen him shoot back in. :D  .

    Slightly random but......

     

    Why whenever there is a thread about Wigan people ALWAYS feel the need to add 'when it went crap' for them?.....

     

    Down the years on this forum I've read Wigan went crap in 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80 and 1981......... so that's only 2 years where the fooking place was any good, then!.. :lol:

     Ha ha, and the best bit is they never went again  after it  turned crap but can still tell you how shite it was from then on! :lol:

    :hatsoff2: HI ALL...PETE As you are aware I am a big fan of your love of the history of the rare soul scene, and many of your writings would make good documentary's

    One day we will have a public tv network, which this info that you give freely will reach a bigger market, , :)

    October 73 was my first visit to the Casino, as your list shows and proves, that the success of the CASINO was in it's playlist, at a time when apart from some local clubs, the scene was starved of a top all-nighter sadly the VAVA got overlooked by most, all but the locals, even the great adverts did not capture the attention of most.

    For 6 months a rapid fall off of brothers & sisters who packed out the TORCH & JUNCTION fell of the scene only for a short period of time, but in that time the WIGAN DJ took on the very best tunes from clubs that had closed or only attracted locals, the playlist proves this, as for example many of the tunes on the list were played by Tony Dellerat the MALLET or PEP in the MIDLANDS and even purchased from Ian at the MECCA, As I say your list was played to many fresh ears the fact that the unfamiliar tunes were of the same class as the familiar, made the CASINO the best place to go in the UK, to me this success was also it's downfall as within a year some of the DJ at Wigan helped start new venues using the CASINO formula and slosh by finding the original DJ who discovered the records in the first place, To this day I could not tell you a RUSS record that was truly his find, can you, but I can tell you many from other DJ that are overlooked or get slagged off like IAN got, well maybe not as bad as IAN got, shame on some of you, :g::g:

    A great list Pete and again freely given, RIGHT ON :ohmy: DAVE K AS ALWAYS

    Someone could always put in a super mad bid in for it and have the seller wetting himself, then when it comes to paying just tell him to feck off, i know for a fact e bay do jack shit about non payers if they happen to generate even a moderate amount of money on their site! :(
