just had to return one of these(demo not issue),cos of sound quality,but what a tune!!. Value on the issue please JM,or any other kind person????,KEV.

gets spins at Bentinck Backroom courtesy of Mark Hopes,great record!!,,KEV.

yes,great track,often played Mecca classic.CC and IL both played it.Only thing is,its quite a long track if i remember,3mins?. (Got played alongside Crystal Motion -"you're my main squeeze".) As we know all Northern tracks are around 2mins 30,so this must be modern.

while you're in a good mood Paul,buy your missus those boots!!! . Agree with all the above,fantastic stuff.

also the very good "gettin the corners"-tsu toranadoes on atlantic,(tother side to "what good am i" ,),kept the "corners" theme going.

just found an old script from Stanley Unwin addressing the very problem we have here.. "Now then,lifty needle from deck,sharpy stabby thing,oh a no-no,could be grabbed by the throatymold ,dee dah dee dah,blue light evening officer. Best thing,shakey digits with slappyback to each,laughing all the way to the money place." And he should know,he was Joe90's Dad.

hi JT,couldn't help but put my bit in. The "getting credit" for playing a tune has gone on since the scene began.If you're a nobody in a small club playing a top sound ,no-one takes notice...until its picked up on by a name dj.Then it becomes their sound.That's how its always worked. Back to your spat ,what you should have done is played the acetate first up in your spot drawing attention to the fact that its the original acetate of better sound quality.LET THE MUSIC SPEAK FOR ITSELF . Not too sure Ady wanted the hype in this form . The thread you originally started ,ended up like a car crash ...everyone staring,wondering what's happening next...like a fight at school ,everyone egging them on,but not really wanting to get invovled. Not all are more interested in politics, more than finding out about new tunes . Vic and Bob used to say "you wouldn't let it lie",,maybe now's the time?,,KEV.

hey up Bazza,modern room doesn't mean furniture from Ikea you know.

yeah,agree Mike, this is why we love the scene!!

it was popular at the Mecca though,instru and vocal

is the spoken intro version, and the ordinary version the same label number??.In other words you don't know until you play it??

you're thinking of Carstairs Pete!!

many's the slip-present??.yeah its crap.

good news Mark,knew you couldn't stay away . Looking forward to some top spinnage,,KEV.

good choice,both played at the same time.Supose what i mean by funk is that they didn't fit the style ie: 90mph/100mph,horn break,clapping point,etc... 7DL had the balls lyrically,the dirty horns,the breaks,"Ladies Choice" gave the balls to the ladies!! . btw DAVE,be careful,we'll be agreeing on everything next.

"summer in the parks"-east coast connection and "hip it"- hosanna,,but by then we'd come to expect stuff like that during the "disco period" . I certainly wasn't ready for 7DLover when i first heard it.Head and shoulders......as was Ann Sexton Sean......

i always thought 7DLover had more of a 60's feel than the others mentioned in your list.Alot of them were played during the period of the MECCA during "THE BIG CHANGE" . MEL BRITT....now that's in a different league all together

just thinking about James Fountain "Seven Day Lover". Essentially its a funk track(imo),and been played for around 30+ years. Now firmly under the Oldies wing of Northern,even classed as a Wigan oldie. For me this record "broke the mould" at the time,nothing else musically was like it on the scene. My question is...how would it fare on the scene now??.Would it be too funky for the Northern scene of today? Which other tracks "broke the mould" for you?

hi,just found a post-it at the side of computer from a while back with SENSATIONAL LITTLE DOC "looking for my baby" on it.Anyone out there got one for sale,EX or above??. Missed one on ebay few months ago. Thanks,,KEV.

£50 on JM'S.................

hi Steve,forgot one other on, INNOVATION, Barbara Hall- "You brought it on yourself",classic

spot on as usual Sean. Spin back in the day for CCurtis at the Mecca,alongside other "forgotten" gems such as "Ella Weez"-Leroy Hutson,"I'm gettin tired"-Carlettes,"Hot line"-Reggie Garner,"Don't you care anymore"-Jodi Mathis,"I know where you're coming from"-Loleatta Holloway,,,well forgotten by some,,,,,,

there seems to be so many colors,shades,typesets,vinyl,styrene versions of Mirwood,its a stinker,so much so we do the Mirwood test when we've had a couple of beers...oh the excitement......

don't worry bout that pal,just wallow in the warm glow of owning one of the real greats of Northern Soul (imho),,KEV.
