Last hour at the Mecca methinks for Lainie Hill(Elaine Hill by the way on Myspace) Vel-Vets..... Either IL or RW via Simon S. Mecca/ Wigan not the Torch Edward Hamilton. Unsure
-
Eddie. Apologies.. I get so used to saying 'failed Wigan'. It may have been played at the Mecca, but I had endless copies in 1975. It was very difficult to sell. The very awful(IMO) Superbs- Happiest Girl In The World(from the same company)though was easy to sell! The mid 70's were a little wayward. John Poole met me in 1976. I gave him a choice.. Nikki Blu on Parkway for £20 or The Professionals Thats Why I Love You.....he chose Nikki Blu as it was more popular that year!

Eddie. Skip Jackson on Dot Mar came from me in 1975. It's not a failed Wigan spin, as I never played it! I had quantity from Journal Square records, owners of Catamount.
-
Simon Soussan Yes. A fantastic ear and top notch discoverer of Northern Soul and one of the funniest guys I have ever met. Calling Ian D..
-
MEL BRITT- Ian Levine 1974 JO ARMSTEAD- Les Cockell/Tony Jebb 1971
-
No idea who played The Flirtations first.

Written as a toothpaste commercial minus the title of course. My dear departed friend Herb Abrahamson gave me tapes to the instrumental which was included on a Goldmine cd 15 years ago. The same source supplied me with the Baby Sitters- Wait Til I Get To Know Ya and Charlotte Stokes- Is This The Price I Have To Pay. Now back on topic.... Who discovered/played 'I Walked Away- Bobby Paris.

Russ W

Gary Lewis - Richard 1974, Joey Dee....the geezer with long hair from Nottingham way. PS The latter officially owns up to 'Put Your Heart In It' too!
-
I stared at Keith's Daylight Saving Time and am now officially declared Dead!
-
Whoever discovered these? HOLLY ST.JAMES, LARRY TRIDER, BILLY ARNELL and JOEY DELORENZO. The firing squad is ready.....who wants to pull the trigger
-
Morris Chestnut - Ian Levine I think. Epitome of Sound- Both Russ and I received acetates from Simon S a few months before the first original finally surfaced. And one I totally forgot.....I had the first Casualeers from SS unless anyone claims they played it before Wigan.

With the odd sneaky Northerner pre-Wigan sourcing Carl Douglas, Frankie and the Classicals, Brothers Grimm from Morris's on Tottenham Ct Rd plus the confectioners in Bethnal Green with all the MGM demos(qty on Kim Weston and Johnny Nash) before stupidly leaving several copies of Jethro Toe(Tull).....the re-sales certainly helped my box improve! Spring of '73......
-
John. Ian Levine first played Frankie Beverly. Wigan opened Sept 23rd(Autumn!).
-
Ian.... Who else could discover such blinding tunes as Dean Courtney and Paul Anka. Look no further than 'Baby Boy' himself.. or Simone as Pattie Brooks calls him! As a separate talking point... The 3 main discoverer's of the scene's heritage sides: Ian Levine, John Anderson, Simon Soussan.

Good one. Here's a few more 'who discovered's' Pre-73/ Fidels, Sandi Sheldon, Shalimars, Danny White- Cracked. Golden Era/ R. Dean Taylor-Ghost, Yum Yums, Tomangoes. Post 81/ Tommy Ridgley, Karmello Brooks. Kev's useless trivia No.927...... Soul Sam first played Rubin's-You've Been Away at the Top Rank, Hanley early 1974. No.928....Long before Top of the World All Nighters I played Joanne Courcey on Twirl in 74 at the same venue's Monday Soul nights.

Ady- Unless you found it before 77 this had to be the first one. By the time MK swooped, no one in the UK had ever heard of it. I remember a few weeks later racing to Brooks Records, Plainfield, NJ to try and find more. George Clinton used this store a lot in the 60's to drop stock to the owner. Kev

Blimey Dave....you are right. I played your discovery and still can't stand it today!

I was busy selling all my discoveries to Butch and others, while I tried my hand producing Dance records Tis true, I got lost in the 80's.

James Barnett/ Soul Bros Six- Thank You Baby/ Superiors Tony Jebb/Ian Levine
-
How would Kent be able to release it if they did not know who it's by? Is this a Hey Little Way Out Girl on Grapevine kind of a release?
