    I also remember all Wigan DJs starting their spot with it the week before its release. Same thing happened with The Del Capris (Construction) Cheers Paul

    Past its peak ? Back then.6 weeks it was an oldie ! All newies back then Nick, well not sure of Stemmons Express ....but did he play it Sat all nights ??? CheersPaul
  4. Soul Shrews
    Yes but what I don't get is why would Richard Searling be playing it at Wigan in 79 ? There were more "oldies'(if thats what Betty Boo was) released on Grapevine that year and he certainly didn't play them in his newies spots Sat night Cheers Paul

    My Grapevine 45 has 1979 release date Cheers Paul

    Don't wish to upset anyone here but I was amazed to read it had been played before '79 I didn't got to Wigan untill the Sat after the 5th anniversary and then went pretty much weekly. For a few weeks in "79 it seemed Richard Searling always started his spot with Betty Boo, Cecil Washington and Vickie Baines. As he was playing mostly newies on Sat nights I presumed Betty was getting her first plays. Think the price for the acetate was way over the top but if someone wants it bad enough and can afford it then good luck to 'em Cheers Paul

    Is the AVI 7 inch a different mix to the orig 45 ? I have a French one and it says "Disco Remix' (or something ) on the sleeve but sounds the same as the 60s 45 to me ? Cheers Paul

    Aid I feel exactly the same about this record.....also Lester Tipton....years ago at a "nighter" brilliant...nowadays in the cold light of day a horrible noise IMO Cheers Paul

    Good old Keb......I remember bumping into him @ "Time Is Right" record shop in Islington in 1990. He (as I was) was checking out the latest "soulful house" 12s. Chalky, maybe Tony Smith could help "uncover" some of those Keb cover ups ? Cheers Paul

    Hi Mark What kinda stuff was he playing 1989 ? I'd pretty much stopped going to northern/modern dos by then. Cheers Paul
  15. Soul Shrews
    Think his "1st" modern soul stint may have lasted longer than "82 I moved to London in "83 and he was promoting modern soul nights @ Le Beat Route then Cheers Paul
  16. Soul Shrews
    Think the 60s mafia was earlier than 87.......the Turmills gig may have been 88/89 tho........ not sure Cheers Paul
  17. Soul Shrews
    Remember hearing Keb playing "modern" @ Turnmills club London circa "87 (?)........a night promoted by Ion & Sean McClusky Cheers Paul

    Sorry to go slightly off topic here (as I dont think this particular 45 has one) but can someone tell me where the light blue label demos fit in? Cheers Paul
  21. Soul Shrews
    Original label (LP) is "Tetragrammaton" released 1968 Cheers Paul
  22. Soul Shrews
