The point is - there's about 8 requests in there of records I wouldn't have played personally but I'll always play a record if I've got it, and the people danced to them so whats up with that? The second set I did, when people had had a bit to drink, the floor was busy for every record, which is the idea as far as I'm concerned.

What about requests??

2 X classic scepter/wand tracks and a floor filler from the mecca??

Playing for the crowd my arse.

Ed

I'd rather scoop my eyes out with a spoon and pour sulphuric acid into the empty sockets than even put one of those in my box let alone play one! :angry:

You'll probably find both a spoon and the acid on the dump it site where you work as well ]

Ed

No, two tenth-rate Scepter Wand tracks that about 3 people plus Ian Levine like, and an overplayed, overrated pile of cack, I'd be doing people a favor not playing those three records, thats playing to the crowd for you.

Booooooo.....

Are you saying too much garbage was played in hindsight, or were you saying it at the time? I was 14 or 15 and I loved Paul Anka, Wombat, Jumping At The Go Go, Afternoon Of The Rhino, Lonely Man, Michael & Raymond, Bobby Paris, Manifesto, David & The Giants - all those mad stompers - I'd never have dreamt to question whether they had soul content or not. And I'm not gpoing to go into denial now because people say they have no soul content. There is a difference between Northern Soul and Soul. I'm not a soul fan. I love Northern Soul though.

I'm saying too much garbage was played at the time. The problem was that 14 & 15 year olds didn't know it was garbage. Personally, I was listening to very, diffrent music by the time Wigan had its moment of glory and only knew ( very vaguely) what was going on by reading magazines, on my night shifts in fabric printing mill,

belonging to a kid on the day shift with baggy pants. But I like to think that I'd've called them garbage if I had been aware of them.I can remember an ex record dealing buddy of mine - a slightly older guy who was a bit of a guru - warning me in about 1970 that Bubblegum music ( which at that time we were calling stuff like Tony Christie and which was being requested in the non- Soul clubs where Soul enthusiast djs played) would soon be on the scene due to the inevitable rarity of real danceable soul. That guy was right.

But even if I had fallen under the spell of the non- Soul stompers, I don't think I'd STILL like them now.I mean I used to quite like tinned spaghetti and processed peas.
