A couple of other Threads / Links that might be useful to the thread starter. Clearly, the record lived on after Clifton Hall! https://wap.popsike.com/Summertime-High-Frequency-Modern-Soul-Northern-Soul/160700338852.html https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/StaffordTOTW/files/tag-stafford.html There's even a picture of Dave Thorley playing it at Stafford on the last un' Sean

Hi Steve, who woke you up? Don't disagree at all. What I said was I played it regularly at (probably every) Clifton Hall, KGB, Cleethorpes after buying it from Arthur. And (as I said) I would have thought a couple of us had it there. I also said it was a massive record in South Yorkshire at the time" which is absolutely the case. I played it at KGB and Windmill etc. maybe before I even worked at Clifton (having bought it from Arthur... at the same time as others did!) but I don't think I ever missed a night at Clifton where I didnt play it. The guy asked for some history on the record and I gave him some of what I could recall. Think its probably right that Richard didnt play it at CH (much or even at all) was only half sure whether he did or not. What I was doing was disputing it being played in Mr M's as the thread starter had been informed. Who else played it at Clifton, I honestly can't recall (must have been several - the record was huge) but it was certainly still played for a good couple of years afterwards, including by me (at Cleggy, in particular and Bradford etc.) and others - Darren, Adam, etc. and Dave Thorley, Robin etc. at Stafford. But before all of that, it was an Arthur / Snaith record regardless of who, where, or when thereafter - And seems to be indemand again! By the way, speaking of Clifton Hall.... where was you t'other week (at the reunion)? You missed a great night. Tons of old faces. And very fond memories. Are you doing the next un? Sean

I think I know where you're coming from! Sean

Heyhey... you might be right mate. Good times! Great music! Sean

So certainly not Mr M's then Arthur? Sean

Agree Steve. I'm only half sure and that's cos I'm basing it on the fact that Richard's sets were obviously very similar at both venues. Do you agree that there seems to be a 'revived' interest in records from this era, right now? Bring back Blackbeat I say! Sean

Big interest in recent times in things such as: Bileo 'You Can Win' Curtis ' How Can I Tell Her' Johnny Scott - Let Me Be A Winner Tony Fox - Love Let Love And Be Loved Pretenders - Just Be Yourself Reuben Howell - Can't Stop A Man In Love Rideout - Someone Special Along with High Feequency It was seen as a 'forgotten period' for many years, but certainly seems to be renewed interst in the sounds from this era.

Can't believe for a minute it was played at Mr M's although pretty sure I recall it being played in the main room in the final months of Wigan. Sean

Not so sure though Martin. I know the others were at Clifton before me but I doubt they would have played this particular record any sooner, as I think we all got them from the same source (Arthur) around the same time. I certainly remember hammering it at the KGB and Windmill while it was still very hot and then at Clifton, Cleggy, Bradford etc... soon after It's an interesting point though. The truth is (and I'm not sure it can be said nowadays) quite a few of us would be playing many of the same sounds at the same time. Guess that's how they came to be so massive! And even more interesting to see how there seems to be a 'revived' interest in records from this era, right now. Sean

Wasn't saying (or claiming) anything else was I Martin? Was just stating a fact. Sean

Off with man flu mate so won't be there. Have half a dozen for me Sean

Hi mate, Yep me too. Full of covers. Hope you're well.... Sober... Recovered

Raisins was 'I Take It To My Baby' on Major Minor John. Sean

I played it regularly at (probably every) Clifton Hall, KGB, Cleethorpes after buying it from Arthur. Would have thought a couple of us had it there. A massive record in South Yorkshire at the time. Sean

Nice one Kev. You're normally a bit more on the ball! Sean

So it looks as though we manage to get to 50! Don't think I've ever seen such a varied list - from Tony Brook to the Winans - Such diversity probably represents the incredibly range of playlists and assortment of venues and tastes around these days!
