THE THREE BEFORE 8 THREAD PROMPTED ME TO ASK...WHEN DID RUSS START PLAYING THEM..I SEEM TO REMEMBER FIRST HEARING 'I'M ON MY WAY' (DID RUSS PLAY THIS AS LAST RECORD FROM DAY ONE) THEN LATE 74 OR EARLY 75 TOBI LEGEND AS AN ENDER ( RUSS DID PLAY THIS AS A REGULAR SOUND ALSO) THEN FINALLY ' LONG AFTER' ANYONE REALLY REMEMBER THE TRUE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS??

.....ANYONE?

Struggling to remember to be honest. I can remember Tobi Legend being played as a current sound, but no I cant put them in any order or dates etc.

Hi

Dean Parrish was played as the last Wigan record from the 3rd 'nighter onwards, used to know what the last ones were before that but have forgotten. I seem to remember Jimmy Radcliff added soon after that, (as a tribute to the Wheel I always assumed as that was thier last sound) and then a few months later Tobi Legend.

Yule

I

went to wigan 73 sure they were playing them then...

Whos Russt

Gerri Grainger "I Go To Pieces" followed later as the "4th" before 8 around 1977? Maybe...

Nobody else is sure so i'll just add what i remember. I think I'm On My Way was played last record on 1st night. The record had been played for a few months but only seemed to kick off big that first Wigan nighter. Jimmy Radcliffe's was probably the most common 'ender' record and it started to become standard for these to be the last two records.

I can't remember exactly when Tobi Legend joined these two probably a couple of months later (November 73) but i could be corrected on that one.

Russ started playing them.....................................

.....................about 7:53 a.m.

I've no idea they were well established before I started going.

As Mick said Gerri Grainger followed as an extra one in the last four. It was on / after the 5th anniversary where the Casino Clasics release of Gerri Grainger was given away as a freebee.

Gerri Grainger "I Go To Pieces" followed later as the "4th" before 8 around 1977? Maybe...

I remember joking at the time that if they continued adding records to the ender list that the first one on it would eventually be the first record of the night.
