Pat Powdrill / Marva Holiday
Pat sung two suoperb northern tunes (flips arent bad eitehr) 'Together Forever' and the brilliant 200mph 'Do It' (well I can keep up to it - iused to always clear the floor with this ) what a sad story, and she was real looker in her day wasnt she, didnt realise she was one of the Ikettes!!

J. C. Messina - A 1975 Release?
I was and it was a great tune then, but it wasn't a floorfiller admit, but then again I always preferred that type of less hammered material . Mr Rhodes used to spin it too with a lot of lesser known stuff (the gimps used to be asleep by then )

J. C. Messina - A 1975 Release?
Disagree with all of you and agree with Mark, f*****n great dancer at the time, one for the boyz! Soulful it isnt but then again neither is a lot of the shite they play today... and yes Pete is right it was the Bob Segar System although there is obviously teh Bob Segar Silver Bullet Band, not sure where Richard got 'System' from?

-
Dancing Or Acrobatics ( Floorwork )
know what you mean Bazza, and probably who. used to do the 'acrobatics' bit but was more martial arts stuff, long gone now that stuff. Dont get me wrong I like uptempo stuff eg Pat Powdrill, COD's etc to dance to and anything with a good bit in it for fast spins - (still do the odd high kick though ---but with legs straight

J. C. Messina - A 1975 Release?
Interesting one this Gene, it does sound a bit later than 60's, sort of progressive rock if thats the correct phrase from the early to mid-seventies. the heavy-ish guitars in the background etc. Why does everyone assume 60's - you may be right.

Jimmy Raye "philly Dog Around The World"
if its a boot and they are offering £150 then your quids in mate If its an original keep hold of it. Can you scan it, describe matrix detail on run out etc? The soul detectives will be able to tell if original or not from that Grant

Martha Reeves @ Wigan
Hi Mark Pretty sure she was on post-76 as I think I saw her there and I didnt start going until 77 mate. The tracks also suggest latera s I was certainly there the first time Searling spun Betty Boo & Cecil Washington as Joe Matthews. Have you got that Wigan Casino book? should tell you in there - I'll have a look later. Grant

Northern Soul Top 50 1977
Think you might be right Eddie as remember buying the boot blind...awful record IMO. It actually surprised me that D-9 was spun at wigan as remember hearing it for the first time in the mid 80's being spun by Roger Banks I think Grant
