I've had that too. ( A bright red shiny bubbled label boot of Marie Knight - TNWTTAG)

I did a few soul/modern re-edits in the mid 90's and can I just add that there's quite a bit of love and time put into them - they're not all knocked out in a night by a non-scene/soul boy who don't care or is trying to kill the soul scene.

...on SMOOTH FM tomorrow @ 2pm.

Not heard that one. Anyone?

Yeah, I heard this story moons ago but as Frank Wilson - chinese whispers at work no doubt.

Have to add that having only attended Wigan 1980/81 I never saw M's as a place that played Oldies - I couldn't due to me age - it was a little learning box for some of us. So for all the stick it gets for playing Oldies it had it's purpose in grounding us youngsters to some great Niter plays that we prob wouldn't have experienced without it.

Yeah, a nice read and a full day too Somatta Acklin

I kept nearly everything that passed through me hands over the years but I have to say that the jewel amongst them is me 'Chuck Jackson' signed Wigan membership.

Noen of the ladies got any Wigan regulation Clarks Polyveldts hiding?

I'd prefer to believe you Mal

Just looking at the writing credits 'The Corporation'... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation_%28Motown%29

Nice to see Jr Walker GHOTTF too

Do like the understated aesthetics of the Canadian releases too: I like Epic Demo's... Love the Atlantic A design.... I agree with the beautiful Brunswick design but I do get off on plain old title and artist labels:

...and maybe the A sides were flipped, maybe the orig B picked up the airplay and was re-pressed as the A?? Which would explain the 'wandering stars'

A blind bloke and his blind missus who I used to sell records to, once asked me to lend them a torch for a week!!??

I think Phil webb would have been the King of Flyer Makers - imagine what they would have been like!??

Frightening.

Very reminscent of early US Hip Hop flyers Sooty.

Got booked to do a place called Ampersand in Manc (Soulful House) and had just started using a digital vinyl thingy called Traktor - wired it in after checking it worked before kick off about six times - sound. My set came round - would it work? would it heck I hurriedly ruffled through the other jocks bags looking for anything I would play - nowt. I played an hour and three quarter set with the nine 12" singles I'd took with me....remember, vinyl never fails you.

True, true

I've had to play on decks where the I had to play on decks with that configuration Mark, the whole set - verrry confusing after a pint or two.

Much more fun :0)

Winding an acapella into a playing 12", cutting the playing 12" then bringing the 'new' 12" into the acapella beat perfect all whilst a few hundred people stare at you can be difficult.
