Nev got his copy the same time he got the second copy of Rita & the Tiaras which would be back end of 78

Definitely a Sam spin yes it was covered as Lenny Curtis isn't it Ernie Lucas under a pseudo name He also recorded another single on blue star as Lord Jim & the V.I.P'S

SO THATS THE UNWANTED TALC SPREAD ACROSS THE FLOOR NOW TEACH ME THE DANCE STEPS LOL :lol:

Hi Len , my attitude as never changed as you know I love hearing new sounds , but around the time the casino closed a lot of people drifted from the scene for one reason or another.when they returned they didn't seem to be able to cope with all the new sounds and the different genres of music being played. It's only now that some are starting to accept some of these sounds, for me i'll always want to hear new sounds be it 60's 70's crossover or modern

I don't think theirs much chance of new discoveries being play at the butlins run casino anniversary

that's oh so true yes ,let those that attened these venues celebrate if they want, but as reunions not anniversary's there for venue's which are still open 100 club prime example . it makes a mockery of every other venue past or present . unfortunately chalky's right it's all about money ,many of those attending probably never went to wigan but they have the badges that say they did. I personally know a few of these type of people and one even appeared on the paul o'grady show proclaiming how great the casino was even though they would have been 11 at the time lol

wee keb the scene of the 80's & 90's was not boring it was fresh and exciting a new chapter for the soul scene if more people had stayed around then the scene of today may have had a better attitude to wards new records being played,

there is no logic its the ethos and principle of celebrating an anniversary of a venue long closed , im very passionate about our music but events like this are a mockery of the scene the media etc get involved and before you know it you end up with a clown show like the one on paul o'grady show. then the rest of us are tarnished with the same brush, I don't know about you but at times im ashamed to admit im part of this scene .

Hi Kirsty no its not just a I want it my way, it's the fact that the punters who attend are under the illusion that said venue which closed 32 years ago is still open heaven forbid . its time to move on the scene will never progress if we don't

Winnie they could always decided to attend venues that are actually open lol :lol:

Right people I know i'll upset a few people on here , but ha ho that's life. What's getting my goat is this Wigan 40th anniversary thing . yea I attended the casino every week from 74 till it closed there was some great times had and SOME great record played ,but to celebrate a 40th anniversary for a venue which closed it's doors some 32 years a go is taking the p..s, Get over people, venues come and go they always have and they always will , there's no need for this to be rammed down our throats , No wonder the scene's in the state it's in . records that were played after the casino , Stafford ,etc are now only just starting to be accepted by the masses some 20 odd years after first being played. Events like this are only adding to the demise of the scene and the original ethos of the scene ,which was a hunger for new danceable records . Get real folk's these events are just money spinners for said promotors , they don't care about the current scene. I know i'll get slated but this had to be said :thumbsup:

well im with len on this one can remember when sam first played it would be around 78-79 bloody great record high time the masses started dancing to sounds like this

this used to be a big spin for Rob Smith around 78 -79 at the notts palais alldayers great track never played now . his u.s track " love is in the air " and " inside outside , upside down " were also played around this time

Hi Chalky Rob & Chris did the l.p mid 88 remember it well it was cut from tapes that Danny Everrad supplied as I have the same tapes with the date wrote on them suspicion was definatly played in 81 as Dave Withers played it at an all nighter in Nottingham at Tiffanys

love starved remember hearing guy play this for first time covered as j.j. barnes it's killing me blew you away

Hi Richard yes seen this a couple of years back it doesn't actually play Yvonne vernee I know as a friend of mine brought it it plays Hamilton movement one side and connie Laverne the other the poor guy was choked teach him to buy boots
