Lambrettagp200 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've seen the above on a Harbro Horace release & Kent. I'm positive the Horace release was first, but are there any others? In an ovo situation, which is acceptable to play out? Cheers. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The original release was the Kent Anniversary release. Horace was I think the next then other Kent. Anything other than a Kent related release is a boot. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Oh and I play it out off the Anniversary 45 when I get the chance, fantastic dancer. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dennisoul Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Absolutely one of the best of best, I remember Ady playing this as the last record at the 100 club a while back....inspirational bit of DJing by Ady C Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Lambrettagp200 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for the info. What anniversary was it? Sadly never hear it nowadays, but it was massive at scooter rallies mid eighties. Also seen someone on youtube saying it was played at Wigan...is that correct??

Pete S Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Also seen someone on youtube saying it was played at Wigan...is that correct?? It'd have a job, Wigan had been closed for a few years before Magic Touch was even discovered 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Lambrettagp200 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 That's what i thought Pete, as i always though it was a new discovery in the 80's. Maybe the guy on youtube just got mixed up lol! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mellorful Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) The original release was the Kent Anniversary release. Horace was I think the next then other Kent. Anything other than a Kent related release is a boot. Just seen the link on discogs which suggests Melba Moore - Magic touch was one of Ady's finds and he put it to vinyl. The dates suggest the Kent was after the Horace's label issue. I can't imagine Ady issuing a bootleg can you? Hence the UK OVO would be Horace's release. https://www.discogs.com/label/115895-Horaces-Records Edited July 16, 2014 by mellorful Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dobber Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 the horaces copy is surely the first release,sure it has a decent tommy hunt tune on the back Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) The anniversary one was the second anniversary 45 1986 (6th anniversary). Keb and Ady had been playing it Stafford and 100 Club and anywhere where they dj'ed for a couple of years. I thought the Horace release was towards the end of the 80's, I certainly don't remember seeing it until after the anniversary release.

dthedrug Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 HI ALL "THE MAGIC TOUCH" MELBA MOORE was discovered by Ady , who I believe got a dub plate made as the record was unreleased, on the same tape that had "don't cry sing along with the music" which was spun at the Torch VAVA & the first couple of Wigan casino all nighters, in 1973, Ady made the record an integral part of his sett in 85? the record was so popular he made it available on the 2nd 100 club anniversary (although it was not} my copy was given to me by a real friend 100 club DJ Mick Smith, which carried on until #17, when people were paying good money for the latest disc on the night, I have received a couple from Ady in the last few years, I think when it comes to finding new undiscovered soul Gems Ady has the MAGIC TOUCH DAVE K 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

El Corol Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) I remember being at one 100 club anniversary around 85 or 86 and never got a record on the night, was there an anniversary where the free 45 wasn't available on the actual night or is the memory playing up.

My copy is also tippexed over. I was worried about that until reading this thread. It's the small number in the writing at the top/middle of the label. It's more of a dot of tippex as opposed to a long line of it. Edited July 18, 2014 by Supercorsa Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
