    I can name a couple off top of my head that haven't. The Inspirations and Johnny Hendley.

    I also have got to admit about not knowing about the Verve release.

    Lee Andrews got booted early 74, which would explain it being a Youth Club Spin at the time. The orig well not super rare as never been common.

    I knew the yellow copy was rare back than 3 or 4 copies around, l also had the inst on yellow label as well. I seen to remember the inst on yellow label was not shown as Men From Macon, but Men From Mecca.

    Dalton Boys and Mel Williams pre Wigan Not sure if the Cats played Little Joe Romans was played before Wigan opened, but the Cats did overlap Wigan for about nine months.

    A nice chill out style Mecca tune (Copper n Brass).
  9. Davetay
    I am pretty sure it is Chicago's version in the film.

    When this was played at the Mecca, covered up as the Casino Brothers, Wigan was already open. It is one of the very best that's for sure.

    I always thought that the Rita Lee (white label) was a 70's boot of Cressa Watson. But l have never heard them side by side.
  13. Davetay
    Original is on yellow label and it does read Cressa Watson. I Know because l had it back in the 70's.
  14. Davetay
    The Temptations film is well worth watching.
  15. Davetay
    Towards the back end of the 70's, l started wearing Lacoste, Polo Shirts etc. In 2015 still wearing Lascoste every now and than, and have done all through the last 35 years plus.

    By the end of 76, baggies had well gone, with the Mecca crowd. For some reason the Wigan crowd started even wider ones for a couple of years or so. In the main it what was in fashion at the time, and not Northern Soul fashion. In the early 70's it was the Skinhead/Smoothie fashion that was worn by the Soul crowd.

    I have no idea what was in the stock, it was all boxed up. I think Rick and John went through it, the days after l dropped it off. I did spend a lot of time going through the stuff that came over from Martin Koppel a few years earlier. A bloody big container load it took 4 of us about 6 hours to unload it.
  18. Davetay
    Yeah, l picked up his stock in a hire van for Tim. I am sure it was a bit earlier than that, it was a bit of a nightmare getting back to Tod. The f*cking thing would not go into 1st gear, John Atkinson came with me that day.
  19. Davetay
    I wish l had kept some copies of this back, l sold 25 of these for total of about £40 for the lot.
  20. Davetay
    John had loads of good stuff back in the day. Mind you we all had, if only we had kept back a few copies of the stuff we had stock of.
  21. Davetay
    And it's her Birthday today.
  22. Davetay
    If l remember rightly it was on one of those front page specials, along with stuff like Bobby Mandolf, Bobby Williams, Shep. Faye Ross etc.
  23. Davetay
    It was the Orange single sided copy that got played at the Mecca, it was a year or a bit more when the Pinkie ones where commonly availiable. As for Lee Fields 85p from Soul Bowl at the time.
  24. Davetay
    I was wondering why it is only 25 years since you 1st heard it? because it is almost 40 years since it 1st got played on the scene!
  25. Davetay
    Yes.
