"First to play it at Wigan was definitely Russ, followed by everyone else." Credit where it's due he made Patrice Holloway 'Stolen Hours' 'BIG at WiGaN' and a few others some obvious some not, some good, Dee Dee Barnes 'Do What You Wanna Do' for instance. some bad, Six By Six Band ................

I first heard this at the Casino, probably was played at the Mecca (last hour) like so many sound that where ignored then became massive This was definitely made big by Russ Winstanley, and of i'm not mistaken went on to be included as the 'fourth' record before eight in the latter days of Wigan Still love it and an issue, purchased for the sum of £12.00 still resides in the ole collection Regards BazM

Tune Of the Night at Lowton Civic Hall Modern Room last night sounded fantastic and causing quite a stir with the crowd. Looks like being a monster sound over the coming months.

The 12" of Curtis Anderson is a 're-issue' it was never available as a 12" on original release

Mine's a 12".....ooh er misses! (couldn't resist!) I guess this one's even suprised Mr Manchurio, he thought it would go for about £250 and I thought that was steep (and no it's not mine) Hope you've got some good stuff lined up for Torquay! The Posse are on te Piss.......

One sold at Bury on Friday for a £100. Pretty rare on Finyl Vinyl pressed on Bunky (I think) Mega rare on 12"

Both were booted on Soul Galore and I dont think would have made anything like the £70plus quid the Doni Burdick made tonight especially with labele stuck on, although I may be wrong looking at some of the prices pressings are fetching these days. What bothered me was the fact that from the scans, I thought they were actually originals (although in fairness it states they are not) which is why I was asking if anyone else thought the same. You've got to be careful these days with look-a-like copies coming out of the States, without the added pitfalls of being shown what look, for all the world like originals and then finding out they've be done on a computer and stuck on a dub plate. Or were these real and the seller got it wrong??????? wadda ya think?
