ImberBoy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 3 before 8 Wigan Casino Ooooooh I wish I had been older enough to have gone but sadly I missed all the baggy pants and Brut 33! When some one says to me Wigan Casino I always think of the 3 before 8, if the 3 before 8 were down to me I would have the following: Eddie Holman - This Will Be A Night To Remember (1977) DISCO That's the extended play one not the short version mind! MANDRILL TOO LATE JESSE JAMES If you want a Love affair That's my 3 before 8, I could hear those three on a continuous loop! I love Northernsoul!

As those of us who did frequent Station Rd will testify the created atmospere was fantastic and when the clapping started to Long after tonight is all over it was just amazing, Rick I agree. I asked a question a while ago about the three before eight as to when they were first put together as the end of night finale. Only Mr. Webbydublin replied I think.

Simsy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Charles Mann - Its all over (Fleet ender) Yeah that's familiar & a good shout! Spot on, spot on & spot on! I don't know anyone who'd be miffed at those three at the end. For me (ingrained from years at the 100 Club) Marva Josie - Don't & 4 Tops - Baby I need your loving.

Have to agree with the sentiment of the emotion of those 3 tho'. Not the best northern soul records by some way but, still think Tobi Legend a perfect ender, happy to be played as the flames lick my coffin.

I can still remember when I first heard TOBI LEGEND (my fave of the 3) at the age of 14, it sounded so beautiful and I can still appreciate the sheer beauty of that record even though it's now on that overplayed records of all time list.

Ian Parker Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) Not if i beat him to it,Debbie! Would you like to tell SS of it's significance to you...or maybe you could PM me? I said to the other gent, i dont really like the goodnight & goodbye theme, its a bit too I just prefer to hear a few good tunes before i go I know i have said it many a time, but the Antellects track is my fav, so i dont mind if its played anytime, but it would be great to have that last dance to that track then i can go home & have some sex!

Patto Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I Think the principle of ender tracks is a VERY traditional and important element of a nighter.Its an emotional come down and closure of the night.You have had all night to dance to the uptempo stormers and there is no better way to leave than a slow dance to a spine- tingling slab of soul Think the casinos 3 before 8 are perfection and will never be beaten,but if i have to choose alternatives i think i'll go for Carl Carlton---You Can't stop a Man in love Betty Lavette---Almost Bessie banks ---Go Now much better than sex,that can wait till sunday afternoon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

DAVE (Mi AMIGO) KIL. Great post, those days of the Mobile DJ's were great and some real characters. There was one in Southampton who I always remember because he must have been one of the first to get his own jingle made up on an 8 track cassette. A blast of female voices shrieking were then met by a guy's voice proclaiming proudly: 'BY JINGO - IT'S DAVE DINGO!!!!!!!!!!' Fooking priceless but he played good soul!
