Did not he play the royal esquires"aint gonna run" on prix - covered up back in the 70s (playing the part of a fool or something)

this went on to be BIG BIG BIG

Now we all have a copy in our boxes !!! And Its still a fantastic record and always will be IMO

Surely this has got to be one of his most significant discovery's spanning decades covered up and eventually being available to everyone ?

I played it at home the other day - not having heard it for a while - with an open mind !

Its fecking brilliant !

Did not he play the 5 royals "aint gonna run" on prix - Or do you mean the Royal Esquires?

Its fecking brilliant !

you know what i meant

He covered it as The Embers-Playing The Part Of A Fool.

The last couple of years of Wigan,where he was playing quality 60's right next to new releases in the same set,were the best musically IMO.

fluffy falana - my little cottage C/UP as Robert L Martin - Come And Go With Me

Brilliant

Sums the following topic up nicely !

Court Davis - Try To Think (What You Are Doing) c/u as The Lover Who Loves You Not was there the night he played this first time and it just blew me away never comes up for sale when I have the cash though

Court Davis - Try To Think (What You Are Doing) c/u as The Lover Who Loves You Not was there the night he played this first time and it just blew me away never comes up for sale when I have the cash though

Agree on Court Davis, can also remember the first play, instant euphoria. Dynamic Deadbeats seems to sum up the spirit of that time very well. Cecil Washington for me though.

eddie regan -playin hide & seek alsoa good c/up at the time as John Madara -Play The Game of Love, and who can forget the Frank Wilson c/up - Can you Guess Who Loves You (Eddie Daye & Four Bars)-magnificent

Court Davis for me. Still just blows me away.

Phil

So many , but Little Ann for me , plus Tamala Lewis c/u as Sharon Scott " You won't say nothing " .Best,Eddie

Court Davis - Try To Think (What You Are Doing) c/u as The Lover Who Loves You Not was there the night he played this first time and it just blew me away never comes up for sale when I have the cash though

I opened this thread with this tune and you in mind. Totally agree on all counts, I'm still waiting for a copy too.

There was some bootleg or 'unofficial' album wasn't there that was made up of Richard's coverups at Wigan? black and white album cover... (sketchy in my mind now)...

Full of good tunes, Court Davies and Cecil Washinton on it I think...

Funnily enough jayne, i was looking at this the other week, round at one of my old mates

eddie regan -playin hide & seek alsoa good c/up at the time as John Madara -Play The Game of Love, and who can forget the Frank Wilson c/up - Can you Guess Who Loves You (Eddie Daye & Four Bars)-magnificent

he used to try putting people off the scent by calling another c/u by the name of one of his other records, eg will collins was love committee. cos he didn't want wil collins known,hence king tutt became wil collins c/u. frank wilson was eddie day, but then vontastics became eddie day c/u! or was he just getting bored by then?

michelles was one of my faves "do what you wanna do" and of course, del capris,lada edmund jr "break these chains" cecil washington and herbie williams.

Cecil Washington

Spyder Turner and the Webs, both sides ( John & Weirdest )

Court Davies

Betty Boo

Eddie Holman both sides...

Little Ann etc etc.......

So many fantastic sides from the last few years of the Casino, and then there were all the recent new issue stuff being played, a great time...

Cleveland Eaton - Quazar one -This was only on acetate and their were only 2 copies of which Richard had one of them and still has it today I think!

Just a mind blowing instrumental!

The Michelles (Dee Dee Barnes) was suprisingly a Russ c/u . I didn't find out who it was until I started collecting Arctic and by then couldn't remember the c/u artists name just recall badgering Russ at the time (early '78ish?) to find me a copy or give me a clue who it was every time he played it.

Damon Fox - whoah that intro!

Johnny Honeycutt

Paul

I'm Under Your Spell - Mind & Matter, c/u as Merlin & the Magicians.

I know I'm a disco dolly at heart, but hadn't heard this for years until heard it played out at a nighter recently and it sounded brilliant.

That's the one!.. One of the best albums I don't exactly own myself..

Not one bad track on there. Forgot about Charles Johnson..

Is it expensive, hard to find etc? I've seen 2 copies in ten years I guess.

Still got my copy - great tunes on it. If I remember rightly I think it is only No Second Chance that actually jumps on them???

Didnt Chris Marriot have something to do with these ?

My best DJ unfortunatley died a long time ago so i would say not many if any on here would remeber ( may Be Richard Searling, Dave Evison will )

His name was Mike Rawlinson ( aka Rollo ) one of my mates when we where growing up

one of the original Wigan Casino DJs

Judy Hughes wasnt the cover of that Kelly St Clair??

I was sat here womdering, Richard must have been THE king of cover ups at the time.

Any how heres Judy

Without doubt '78 to '81 Was a fantastic time to be at the Casino - So many GREAT new SOUL discoveries from the 60s/70s and the new 80s Modern Soul items of the day - Tremendous stuff!! Sad thing was that some Saturday nighters especially after the Friday Oldies niters the attendances got to be as low as a couple of hundred.

Jayne. I,ve got that LP somewhere in the dark place where i keep my LP,s, never play em. Dont think Cecil Washington is on that LP. Might have a look one day and see whats there. I know i gave some early British motown LP,s to a mate last year but cant remember what else was there.

Steve

Too many to mention really ie in cover up names - the one he used to play for the aycliiffe crowd at the time was Eddie Jefferson wont think twice no explaining needed on that point.Daves right 78-81 was awesome imo so much every week from Richard,Sam,Pat[pure soul band]and Dave himself was a wonderful time and great memories.Hard to believe its 31 years ago,what is TRUE is how many of these tunes have stood the test of time in both rarity and quality,well never see times like that again!!!

BAZ A

just been listening to a really bad copy of RS playing at wigan and i,m sure he introduces LARRY HOUSTON-LETS SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER as TOP CAT, did i hear this correctly

Sorry if I'm drifting off thread topic, just responding to questions on thread:

Jayne - Don't think it's expensive but then again I've not been looking for one, it can always shock me what has become rare over the years, wouldn't think it's that rare though.

soulsalmon - I don't remember if Chris had a hand in these. Are you confusing them with his "Triangle Connoisseur Sounds - The Motown Hitsville Masters"? I never saw volume 2, I have vol 1 that has Marvin Gaye's Lonley Lover on. I know Chris had a big hand in those but it was several years later. Like the "All Night Long" album the labels are white blank paper, no attempt at design.

Discovered at wigan maybe,made big at clifton hall deffo

I vaguely remember something that I think Richard played that I loved dancing to. Now over the years my memory has faded so can some less forgetful soul help me out?

It was called something like " Space Age Lover" or "Automatic Lover" or " Space Age Automatic Lover" you get my drift. He may have credited it to Bill Brandon, but just as likely I'm wrong on that also.

I bought Bill " Space Lady" in the hope that this was what it was, but It wasn't the right tune. I bought quite a few Bill Brandon/Sam dees tunes over the years in the vague hope they might get me closer to the answer, they didn't, but they were all good records so no harm done there.

Please somebody, HELP !!!!! If you don't know the identity but remember the tune please shout up, so I know I haven't gone bonkers !

No you haven't gone bonkers

Played at Wigan....but maybe not discovered at Wigan! Right, Clifton Hall, Rotherham played a HUGE part in pushing the scene forward and mixing the styles and tunes that worked at the time...Daybreak, The Escorts, Jewel, Leon Bryant alongside most of the BIG 60s discoveries of the day - A Wonderful period.

many thanks for that John. I'd love to hear it again, even half the track, or a dodgy live venue recording, just to remind myself. Am I about right date wise for this thread, or was it earlier?

Bill Brandon -

I'd say it was in the region 1979 to 1980 when I seem to recall it getting spins.

I've no idea where you might hear it though...

I suppose you've already checked on Refosoul?
