Absolutely Orgasmic Dawny......... but more importantly How are you?... Interestingly they were advertising for 'soulies' (Don't you hate that term!) to be extra's for this film on the radio last week, but they stipulated you needed to be under 50 and of a certain size to fit into the 'costumes' (their words - not mine) Must admit to being a little concerned about them refering to bags and an Adiddas top as a "costume".....sounds more like they intend everyone to look like an Extra from a cheap 70's porn film.......... A sort of 'Debbie does Wigan'.....

Please Mrs Dawny Woods can I come into the Casino?, I know I look 50 but I'm only 18...... Honest. (The bald patch is just alapecha and the beer gut is to many of my mummys pies)

When was this Garv?... Used to travel up from Runcorn with Dusty (Pete) and Libby (Les) most weeks.....

Always Hated the Lovelites 'Get it off my Conscience' when I was a Yoof... Strangely - these days I love the Record, perhaps because it's not played out that much.

The "Silly Woman" would have left that Fooking Reptile to freeze to death........ meaning Al Wilson could have had the Day off....

OH-NO!...... someones mentioned the 'W' Word!. So...... 'Wigan stopped being a credible venue after 1975' 'People only went to dress up in Comedy Trousers' 'They only ever played the Wigan joker, Frank Wilson and some record about a Snake' 'The Toilets were a joke' 'The Pies were not very Warm' 'I never went... but it was still crap' 'Why can't people move on?' 'Hilda Woods ate my Hamster' Right!...... I've saved everyone the trouble of the 'usual' Pointless posts whenever Wigan is mentioned, so carry on!..... That should see this thread drop off the board like a stone now.

"you need to get out more mate" And you need to get your 'Sense of Humour bypass operation' reversed!....

Who are these People?..... Name, Names??..... we NEED to know who is giving away OUR soul Music on this EVIL format!!.. Do these people not realise that the original artists recieve Nothing in way of financial gain from this, do they even have the first idea about the hours and hours of blood, sweat and tears these artists went through to record these tracks...... only for some promoter type to give them away FREE to the 'first 50 people through the door' just for some advertising gimick!!... Next thing you know they will start giving away plastic Soul patches as well, meaning thousands of embroideres who toil late into the night in ghetto sweatshops sewing little Owls on bits of cloth - will be thrown onto the streets and their children put into the Workhouse!.. So!, next time you hand over you '£5 on the Door' and the guy/girl says "would like your free CD?", Just say "No thanks!, I'm keeping it real!, I'm keeping it Vinyl".... (Said Vinyl must be original and in Mint condition, ie no boots, Pressings, issue's or carvers) Eat the Cake...

It's already happening. A True Story from the Mail a few weeks ago....... 'Blackpool Council have instructed Contractors to remove all Wooden Dance floors from it's 16 Community Centres and replace them with Carpets...... A Council spokeman said we have done a risk assessment and carpets would be much safer for the many groups which use our centres for indoor activities, in particular OAP dance classes' So instead of taking Talc to a venue, we could all soon have to carry a Tub of 'Shake and Vac'......

Yawn!!.... Why is it whenever anyone posts anything about Wigan on this board someone always has to throw in the same old-same old tired comment of ..."It stopped being a credible venue after.....(Insert the year of your Choice)" No where in the original post does it ask for an opinion of what year Wigan was Crap from!........ so why bother??...

"The Gear We Wore"..... My Gear usually Wore off about 4am in the morning sadly!!..

It was played in M's........ One of the Jocks in M's (Don't recall who (Keith Brady maybe??)) spun it the week it was pressed, and after playing it he shouted.. "Thats the first and last time I play that Shite" then proceeded to slat the record sideways like a frisby......... hitting me on the head just as I was walking into the room....

Think all of the above.......as it's little more than a Cheesy pop record IMHO What I would say though is the amount of abuse NTOOT gets is out of all proportion to it's part on the scene, it's just one of those tracks people always use as a stick to beat 'Northern' with......which is little unfair on the record, AND us!..

Would that be Polyvelts or 'Polygrip' Dawny?... ......... Ok I'll get my 'Full length Leather coat' should I!..........errr.... well I would have done but some Twat nicked it with my bag at Wigan!!..

Can't help with the club Tony, but........ In the late 80's the firm I was working for had some work in Wigan town Centre and I was due to meet a guy at this job, however as I had not been back to the town since the Casino Closed the only place I knew how to get to was Station road, so the guy arranged to meet me there, and then I would follow him to the job... I arrived early about 7-45am so parked by the Bingo hall and waited, it was just getting light on a cold, clear, misty winter Morning, as I was looking over to where the Casino used to be and reminiscing a little.....'Ghost in My House' came on the radio........ Spooky!!...

I know this was pressed on Soul sounds (Shock, Horror, Scandel), but out of interest what are original copies Worth..... and for that matter what are the pressings worth?.. TIA.

Thanks for the info Chris... Have returned your PM..

Agreed Steve Heard much worse in 'both' rooms and give me the above anytime over DJ Genitals for the 3rd time in a night!...

Stairways 'Don't you Care'... Soundfile anyone??....

Even after some 30 years that last guitar rift still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up......... What a Chooooon....

'Soul Step' The Dogs. 'Spring Rain' Silvetti. And can't believe no one's mentioned 'A touch of Velvet' ...

Agreed......... Awesome!...

'Balla Delena' The Marketts... the Slowest NS record ever!..

'Do what you wanna Do' Dee Dee Barnes. 'Trouble' The Agents....
