Guest Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) and number 7 come to think of it But Mr.B I am positive that Car Wash was played at WC by both Richard and Minshull When I posted the tunes up this morning Phil , I had a nagging doubt in the canyons of my mind that " CW " may have been played I never heard it played at WC when I was there at the time of its' popularity elsewhere . Can someone confirm it was / they heard it played at WC ?

grantdyche Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Car Wash the Question!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never heard it at Wigan, Not saying it wasn't, But I never heard it there, Loads of other "New York Disco" tracks were played though Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
grantdyche Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Yeah right and l never heard any Jackie Wilson records there either.. Tis nowt but a lie your honour The before mentioned Jackie Wilson had many a tune played at the Heart Of Soul, "The Who Who Song" being a fine example The common and muck type of ditty that shall be known as "The Car Wash" Was never played at the before mentioned establishment for nocturnal dancing and other recreational activities, And so it will be sent for ever in to the hell and damnation that is called "Channel 4's greatest disco hits off all time" That is of course til I get pi**ed at a party and tell everyone its a NS tune Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Car Wash the Question!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never heard it at Wigan, Not saying it wasn't, But I never heard it there, Loads of other "New York Disco" tracks were played though Car Wash was definitely played at Wigan. I remember discussing with pals about how the 'walky backwards and forwards dance' - or 'lolloping" as we christened it - looked perfectly normal at the Ritz but strangely out of place at Wigan, as some guys lolloped out of their seats and onto the dancefloor to the handclap intro.

Pete S Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT! Cathedrals was? Do you know who played it,Pete?

Guest Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) ls it on an E.P.? No , but the UK 7" release - see below - was released for some reason , at 33 ⅓ RPM . Roberta Kelly " Trouble - Maker " / " Think I'm Gonna Break Someones Heart Tonight " UK GTO , catalogue number # GT 71 ( 1976 ) / Format: : 7" Vinyl / 33 ⅓ RPM The record also came out in 1976 on two other European labels , but these were 45 RPM , and had a different B - Side to the UK release .

Guest Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the info Mark, it just seemed a bit strange having it on that speed, I looked further into why the UK release was 33 1/3 RPM , but to no real avail . I thought it may have had something to do with the release being the album version ( 8 : 48 ) , but it was / is the edited version , which despite not stating the time of the track , is likely to be either 3 : 59 ( the French Atlantic release ) or 4 : 01 ( the Italian Durium release ) . " Trouble - Maker " was the B - Side of the US release in 1976 : " Love Power " / " Trouble - Maker " ( US Oasis , catalogue number # OC 409 , Time 3 : 59 ) . " Love Power " was a cover version of the 1967 recording by The Sandpepples , which was written by Teddy Vann Malc Burton Edited May 14, 2010 by Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Thorley Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just to clarify Pete, the walking backwards and forward dance, irecall vividly at Wigan being performed by Steve(Srange)Harrington ! and he had a long girlie type scarf wrapped aroung his neck as well him and Julie Dyke from Gloucester were dancing to Elusive. just a bit later he started the bin bag thing and cross dressing parties(ask the Blackwood guys they will verify) Really strange what we remember considering what went down our necks!! Steve I thought you were cross dressing long before that:D Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Did anybody else hear it there? Sylvester ? I would have said it could have possibly been played during the " anything goes " period at WC in 1977 , but as it was released in 1978 , I am very doubtful , but I am open to correction should it be creditable confirmed .
