yes, I believe it's a group called 'Casio'

I think the title was something like "Wizard's Sleeve" but I could be mistaken...

Not the wizards cuff???

No, i'm sure Gareth's right. I'm sure I heard it was Wizards Sleeve. Tho that might have been the artist. He debuted it down the 100 club. It went down a storm at Cleethorpes. I heard he paid a fortune for it. Nice to know there's still great stuff left to be discovered after 30 years. Where the hell did you get 'Casio' from Lisa?! You're going mad! They were a terrible 70's electro band out of Philadelphia with crap repetitive beats.

Is it that backing track to Marva Lee (sounds a bit like Wizzard's Sleeve if you're actually wizzarding yourself) 'If You Can't Be True'. That's an acetate he paid a few bob for off JA-SB. It is heavy on the gorgonzola organ too. I'm sure the tanned one will fill us in when he returns from the Sierra Madre or wherever it is he's gone to.

and back to my original quest!!

It could have been Bobby Wells 'the Psychedelic Theme', that was the instrumental to his great 'Let's Cop A Groove' that was from the same stable. It's dead good actually, I've been meaning to play it for 15 years.

Ady

thanks ady i'll try and check that one out. came acroos the track on the (dare i mention it ) site ktfdownload.co.uk) if you type in wigan in the bix it comes up with wigan instrumentals, i thinks it is wigan instr. 1 have a listen see if you know it

HAD A LISTEN TO 'LETS COPPA GROOVE' BOBBY WELLS & IT AIN'T THE INSTR. TO THAT AS I SAY U CAN HEAR IT ON THE AFOREMENTIONED SITE. ODES SOUND LIKE THE BACKING TO 'NOTHIN BUT A H/PARTY'

Sorry, I ain't got sound

Ady

Cheers for tryin ady - anyone else?

Just listened to it and I'm sure it's Sousans version of going to a go go by the Shitronettes. With things like this, thank god for gear!

On the subject of instrumentals can anyone tell me if the instr. to 'Back Streets' by Edwin Starr is excatly the same as instr. by the Detroit Rythmn Section that was played at Stafford?

Grant

hi grant

its nice to see someone else sharing the 'wigan' bug

one of the best instrumentals ive heard and havent got yet is

'be young be foolish be happy' probably an acetate job but bloody fab none the less

happy hunting!

THE INSTRUMENTAL ACETATE I PLAYED AT CLEETHORPES/100 CLUB SATURDAY IS BY THE JIMMY BISHOP TRIO CALLED "A PART TIME LOVE". IT'S THE SAME BACKING TO MARVA LEE BUT WITHOUT THE SAX.
