  1. Kurt Harris....
  2. There's Toast In Your House.
  3. I would recommended Chuck's Motown Anthology. Well worth £5 of anybody's money.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motown-Anthology-Chuck-Jackson/dp/B000B0P5VS
  4. Don't bother with movies. They'd only make you sad. Or parties. They'd make you feel as bad.
  5. Don't know what he made, if anything, from the song, but you've hardly contributed to his earnings by owning the unlicensed reissue back In the day, but you have contributed to the "others". Just saying.
  6. Billy was only 17 and at high school when this was released so I doubt he had much money to spend.
  7. That's my recollection of the term, Cashing In is a prime example of a record that lends itself to the latter day definition of a shuffler. However, nowadays we tend to shuffle everywhere, mostly to the bar or the toilets.
  8. Willow, tit willow, tit willow.
  9. It's very rare these days that I hear something played out and say to myself......"Bloody hell, I haven't heard that for ages". I don't think it's a case of long forgotten, more that they don't fit into the tried and tested, well established, call it what you will, playlists that get churned out week after week. You're even subjected to the same records repeated by different DJs on the same night. Some of the records posted have put a smile on my face and brought back great memories, others are probably best forgotten. "A Lot of Love", posted earlier today, took me back to the main room at Wigan circa 79/80, and stomping for all I was worth, but it still gets regular plays. Tamala Lewis, less plays, still invokes memories of Station Road for me, but not quite in the "haven't heard for ages" category for me. Like you say, could be a regional thing, and obviously depends on how often you're out and about and what venues you attend. Some stuff gets "reactivated" whether it deserves to or not, whilst other stuff very rarely gets an outing. After seventeen pages people are having to really dig deep to come up with truly forgotten monsters from the Wigan era, and I'm sure there's a lot of "repeat plays". Still an interesting thread but not all records mentioned fit the original brief.
  10. So there's nothing from the Wheel or Torch been listed here?
  11. The OP specifically put Wigan in the thread title, and he didn't expand on this in his first post. I know he used "etc" in the title, but he might just as well have named the thread "Forgotten Monsters" and left it at that.
  12. "These Chains Of Love" for me, but why was this never released first time around on Scepter? I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself......
  13. So we've got seventeen pages of records, many of which aren't forgotten and are still played regularly, many of which were never monsters, and many of which weren't original Wigan plays. Keep them coming!
  14. Assuming that the "Look Inside" feature on the Amazon website takes you inside the finished product, then no, it hasn't been attended to before publication.
  15. It certainly reads better with the comma. Unfortunately, no amount of punctuation is going to improve the actual content in this book, judging by the samples I've read.
  16. But you can rejoice in the fact that you weren't a wedding guest.
  17. Comma required after 'preview'.
  18. I've had "a look inside" and it wasn't pretty.
  19. The single was released in 1981.
  20. Alvin Cash & The Registers - The Philly Freeze....
  21. Frank Frost - My Back Scratcher....
  22. That's an all year round song here.
  23. Daisies - Cold Wave
  24. Impressions - Long Long Winter
  25. Try this..... https://www.bocshoes.com Oops sorry, thought you said Boc sandal.
