Trying to piece together Gary Rusbrooke's spins from Stafford & Leicester Allnighters. I know some will be from the late Wigan era too as he was a resident by the end of the Casino.

I Have about 50 thus far and a few I think he played but need conformation on.

Any help gladly received.

Here are some I thought he played but need to make sure:

Thee Midniters - 'You're Gonna Make Me Cry' (Whittier) C/U as Jimmy Burns

N Group - 'Keep On Running' (Wes Mar)

Sunny & Sunliners - 'If I Could See You Now' RPR

Gary Sole - 'Soul Light Touch' (Knight) Flip to 'Holdin' On' his old Agents C/U from late Wigan

Bobby Sansom & Light Years - 'King Of Tears' (Acta) Flip to 'The Happiest Day Of My Life' that was C/U as Paramounts

Audrey Slo - 'Gonna Find The Right Boy' (Swan) Sure he played this when he was co-running The Brit in Nottingham so may have dropped it by the time Stafford & Leicester started in 82

Any cover up names would help too.

Many thanks

yvonne vernee - does he love me anymore c/up as vickie baines - all I wonder

richard anthony - no good c/up as detroit wheels - like a good girl should

Ty Karim You just dont know have it on a tape some where and him introducing it as new for 198? late wigan

Edited February 25, 201015 yr by Ted Massey

Surprised at N-Group, thought that was Keb in mid 80's sure Gary would be happy not to be credited with that one

Used to hero worship Gary a bit in these days, in a young off my head sort of way, he was definitely plowing a lone furrow at times, particularly at Clifton Hall Rotherham.

Other ones definitely to add

Cassadons - 2 Sided Lover

Jackie Beavers - Come Back My Love

Twilights - You're The One

Sophisticates - I Can't Stand It

Ascots - Another Day,

He picked up Chessman c/u of Richard did he not and carried on with it, as it still had loads of legs on it.

not saying he was first on these, pretty sure he featured them all heavily at Rotherham and therefore probably introduced at Wigan, but would say in early 80's these sort of things defined his sound.

Cmon Mr Anderson get a notebook along to old Trafford and ask him, better than watching the rubbish on the park surely!

Got notes of this sort of stuff somewhere, but they are in boxes in vareious houses along the way!

Top bloke and one of men responsible for changing the sound of the 80's "revival"!

I always associate the Q - Thats The Way with Gary.

Mark

quite a lot of those are c/o Mr Searling

cashmeres = volcanos cup PAT BRADY

Got a vague memory of him spinning another version of Karate Boogaloo - Guy's 'n' gals bounce or something like that???

I always associate the Q - Thats The Way with Gary.

Gary never had The Q

But he did play

Lee Bates - Why don't you write

Bobby Valentin - Use It Before You Lose It

Ascots - Anytime

Soul Blenders - Tightrope

Bobbie Smith

Oracles

Little Ron & Esquires

got a list of stuff at home.

A lot of things mentioned were originally played by Searling at the tail end of the Casino. Gary Rushbrooke exclusives I can remember (more, when the caffeine starts to kick in

"Forest Fire On Main St" played as "Lord Sitar & Baltimore Band"

"Bobby Valentin" played as "Rex Garvin"

"Little Ron & Esquires" played as "Sims Twins"

"Little Stanley - The Stran" played as "Jimmie Raye"

"Creations" played as "Steinways"

"Magnificent Seven - Dial" as "Frank Dell"

I also associate the following with him, but couldn't be sure if he played them first, but that's where I heard them first

Bobbie Smith

Twilights

Cassadons

Ree Flores

Frank Beverly - Want To Feel I'm Wanted

Fugitives - Good Lovin'

Naturals

Unless of course, you know different

By the end of Wigan Richard was already selling some of his 60's things and Gary did have a fair few of them. Richard sold him Bobby Wisdom - Hand writings on the wall and The Lovers - without a doubt, but once he had them for some reason he didn't like them so sold them to me for £150, wish I could buy them for that now. Dave Greet now has the Bobby Wisdom.

CASINO-12TH SEPT 1981-GARY RUSHBROKE -

try this

Lost Soul "secret of mine"..........

bobby smith was first played on the stafford before the first aniversary at leicester oddfellows,what about tommy dodson seven day love, fabulous!

ray agee c/up as james conwell - love is a losing game

Yep that's right - James Conwell.

Lee Bates "Why Don't You Write" c/u as George Blackwell "Just A Little Letter"

Edited February 25, 201015 yr by Tony Smith

Yep that's right - James Conwell.

Gary bought lots of cover ups and unknowns at the time - l often travelled up to Wigan with him and others from Nottingham - Fantastic days !!!

.

Thanks everyone so far. Like I say I had a lot of these already but wanted to make sure.

I have a play list with him playing The Embers - Playing The Part Of A Fool C/U which is the Royal Esquires. I always thought this was Keb's first but Keb did buy some of Gary's tunes.

Records like the Admirations / Aspirations on Peaches is one I would always associate with Richard, same with Eddie Daye aka Frank Wilson, Cecil Washington - I Don't Like To Lose, Executive Four - I Got A Good Thing Going, Imaginations - Strange Neighborhood

Johnny Guitar Watson - Ain't Gonna Move, Combinations - Whatcha Gonna Do, The Creations - Remember Me, Moses Dillard - Pretty As A Picture

Ray Agee I always put down to Dave Raistrick, though Blue Max played it at Catacombs earlier. Others Dave played first were - Lonnie Russ - Say Girl (AKA The Salvadors).

Pat Brady played The Cashmeres and the Traditions.

Soul Sam & John Poole had Magnetics 'Lady In Green'

Most of these were played at Notts Palais Alldayers from 78 as I have a lot of Soul Source fanzine's that carried a lot of Wigan, Palais, Yate, top sounds.

It's like a lot of people credit Gary with MM & peanuts - The Phillie which was Dave Thorley's, as was The Q and others

Think Gary played Magnetics - When I'm With My Baby first though? This would have been late Wigan when John Poole and him were finding Al Williams, Professionals, Masqueraders - How 'Professionals' C/U, EJ Chandler 'Superlatives' C/U 'I Cant Stand To Lose You etc.

It was a long shot everyone would remember exactly after all this time.

It was cause of what Gary played that I started DJing.

Many Thanks

Mark

I don't think Gary ever had, Combinations - I'm Gonna Make You Love Me (Kimtone). Unless someones got it on tape, I never heard him play it. Early Stafford it was almost unknown and only a few copies had turned up, don't think it really got that much play until after he had given up djing.

But I do think he was the first or one of the first to play Williams & Watson c/u aka Lamont Cranston Band

IS GARY STILL ON THE SCENE AND IS ANY ONE IN TOUCH WITH HIM? SAME QUESTION REGARDING OTHER BIG DJ'S OF THE PAST. THEIR INPUT AND RECORD FINDING STORIES WOULD BE FASCINATING

Gary cut loose many years ago, but he still sees a few old mates at Man U. Good news is that he going to DJ at The Stafford Re-Union.

Seem to remember seeing the Magnetics when im with my baby in a play list in Blues and soul circa 1977/8

I have a tape of Gary playing at Leicester Oddfellows, can remember:

Lamont Cranston Band - Takin' A Chance (ex Williams & Watson c/u)

Frankie Beverley - Want To Feel I'm Wanted*

Gasoline Powered Clock - Forest Fire on Main Street (ropey inst, can't remember c/u name)

Gary Sole - Holdin On

*seem to remember a tale doing the rounds that this tune became a hit by mistake, Because Of My Heart was the side that was going big and gary played WTFIW on the flip by mistake. Nonsense, of course, that it never occurred to anyone to listen to the b side!

I loved this 45 from the first time I heard Gary playing it and then remember a very pleased Dave Alcock when he bought if off Gary.

It was always at the top of Dave's playlists at venues like Burntwood (what a great venue that was!).

Mark

I'm sure that Gasoline Powered Clock-Forest Fire On Main Street was played as Baltimore & Ohio-Running Away.

ued to have an old early stafford tape,,really bad quality ,dont know where i got it from ?. but it definatly had gary on it playing the fascinators-in other words covered up as the MAGNETICS. and he also played chico lamar on it ,

Thanks Chalky but Magnificent 7 was a Yate spin for Ian Clark in 1978

Kris Peterson was around 77/78 when played at say Wigan or Yate (I say Yate as it was Dave Thorley's Monica)

Anyway see you tonight mate.

Seem to remember seeing the Magnetics when im with my baby in a play list in Blues and soul circa 1977/8

Ted you're right in was found at the same time as Lady In Green and became a spin for John Poole & Gary around late 78 / 79. Think also like Sam played it at Wigan before Gary started there.

Dont forget Gary did play his big tunes longer than most.

He once told me he'd tried The Vondells at Wigan but got no reaction so dropped it till Stafford & Leicester (though it's on the live at Wigan clip on here). Then went on to be probably his best remembered record. It was a flook he got the Vondells at all as Dave Raistrick who covered it as The Stagemasters apparently was supposed to sell it Dean Anderson, but somehow Gary ended up with it. Well that's what Dean told me years ago.

Gary cut loose many years ago, but he still sees a few old mates at Man U. Good news is that he going to DJ at The Stafford Re-Union.

I cant wait to see him either. This is one of the reasons I wanted to piece together a CD or 2 as a memento of what he did to keep new 60's discoveries going after Richard stopped playing so many at Wigan. With Pat Brady too.

The Masquaders 'That's the same thing' Soul Town

I don't think Gary ever had, Combinations - I'm Gonna Make You Love Me (Kimtone). Unless someones got it on tape, I never heard him play it. Early Stafford it was almost unknown and only a few copies had turned up, don't think it really got that much play until after he had given up djing.

But I do think he was the first or one of the first to play Williams & Watson c/u aka Lamont Cranston Band

Me and Dave played Combinations. Same for Del-Tours as I got it off Richard. Gary may have had a copy too. Don't know.

If it helps with the history thing, re the Deltours this was Richards Ernest Mosley & John Anderson sold me the 2nd copy about 2 months after Richard had started playing it, thing was Sam had dropped northern & i ( briefly ) got 2nd pick at the bowl. Sold mine in 82 (when i decided to move completly to modern

) to Chris Plant, who also got my Bobby Wisdom ( c/u as Billy Kenedy ). Arthur.
