Wow, short memories for some.. Frankie Crocker, Seventh Wonder, Sister Lee and scores of other tracks that packed the wigan floor aswell as nighters across the country?! remember P-funk from the same nighter period? Palais downstairs, Morcambe, Cleethorpes upstairs, Blackpool Mecca? These have ALL contributed to the scene along the way! Think its down to your own definition of funk. I dont want to hear 'Get up off that thing' or 'funky good time' at a soul night, BUT rhythm and soul, (which I think some of you are calling 'funk') is a definite YES. I mean, if you are prepared to dance to white psychedelic tracks like 'Deadbeats' or nursery rhymes like 'nick nack paddy wack', or clip clopping country chittlin soul, why draw a line anywhere? I think its some peoples ability to hear and feel, nothing but a four/four beat that stops this scene progressing and growing..... When you look at some of the s---te thats played out, it really is a liberty to start calling 'funk' out of place ! Just my opinion, nothing else tigers!

Sounds like PAUL HAVERKINS gospel cover up!! I know what that is..

GREAT TUNE, cant believe its not been snapped up!!

Sailboat goes for around £100.

Its a ridiculously rare record and very expensive!!

IVE GOT IT....'LOOSEN UP'. Its the best of the two. A DDA play!

CANDI BARS very cheap...very good

Would like to see them too, I started there in 75/6...coming over from Grantham.

thats the whole of it, that I got! I haven't edited anything. It was forwarded to me and I alone took the decision to put it on here, so that whoever sent it can explain why they are the mentors and god fathers of the scene? Also, its a personal attack on the uk dj's going out there..(fake ass brits!..) I might have had a bit of gluteous maximus surgery, but I wouldn't call it a "fake ass"!

IT is a cracker Baz......But who feeds them this rubbish?

Been told I cant talk about stuff like this. Guess its best to keep it ALL under the table ..... nice weather though.

VERY VERY TOUGH TO FIND, had mine a while now. think about £100/£150, but I think its actually harder to find than people think.....'soul' incarnate really, the guys almost crying while singing....top notch.

Well Done mate....an amazing thing to actually complete! Congratulations.

WELL PUT CHALKY, I TOTALLY AGREE! When I was 15, this tune seemed very soulful. But, obviously, as ive gotten older, my life experience, exposure to new and brilliantly 'soulful' tunes, has increased and i really dont need to hear this tune again. Id like to remember it as it was then, but if you drag it out now it pales next to many, many, records that are being played today! For me anyway. An example would be Johnny McCall - I Need You.

I was there during those lost years, living in Wakefield. it was pretty hardcore and committed....and some of us were nearly committed at the end of it...Warrington, Stafford, morcambe, Bradford, Carlton, Tracky, Allerton, P,boro, Rotherham, Palais, Sheffield, everything that was going. Vivid times and, yes baz, FULL of proper people into 'soul' and with a spirit for adventure..Ha! loved it! If it wasn,t for that small committed group of people , the scene might have died on its arse!
