grantdyche Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) I present an Internet Northern Soul show and I'm thinking of doing a Mr M's special for the whole two hours of my slot, Any suggestions for an all time Mr. M's playlist ?? Thanks in advance. Update on some of the tracks suggested Gene Chandler - Nothing Can Stop Me Otis Blackwell - It's All Over Me August & Deneen - We Go Together Ronnie & Robyn - As Long As You Love Me Mitch Ryder - Breakout Vel-Vets - I've Got To Find Me Somebody Ann Perry - That's The Way He Is (instr) Vibrations - Cause You're Mine Mr.Floods Party - Compared To What The Velours - I'm Gonna Change Don Thomas - Come On Train Saxie Russell - Psychedelic Soul Ace Cannon - Sea Cruise Nolan Chance - Just Like The Weather Gene Chandler - I Can Take Care Of Myself Gwen & Ray - Build Your House On A Strong Foundation Reggie Garner - Hotline Younghearts - Togetherness The Monitors - Save A Little Love Going to stop this now,The oldies played in Mr.M's depended on when you started going to the Casino,And of course,What you classed as an oldie at the time,If you went in 79 - 80 for example, your views on Mr.M's tunes would be different I suppose to someone who stopped going in 76-77, Many thank's to everyone who posted, Edited September 13, 2011 by grantdyche Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 That reply really surprises me. I distinctly remember asking for that at an early Mr M's and was told 'no chance' as it wouldn't go down in there. Pretty much stopped me from going in ever again. Glad to hear they eventually saw sense! Great record. :0) Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

spike1 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 One that sticks in my mind late 76 early 77 was " barbecue " Quite a silly tune really) was it a commercial for an American food chain?) But it had a thumping beat and at 3am in m's it used to pack the floor Ps what is your radio station called??? Spike Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Paul R Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Once Ms opened at the first anniversary, the Southport/Ormskirk crowd lost their corner, as it was at the top of the stairs near Ms entrance. Most of them moved into Mr Ms, but I mainly stayed in the main room. When I did venture into Mr Ms, the main memorys for some reason are the more poppy oldies like "Opus 17" 4 Seasons, "Hey hey Bunny" John Fred, "Gimme Some Lovin'" & "Trampline" Spencer Davis, "Get Ready For Love" Paint Box & "Spookys day Off" Swingin' Soul Machine. I also remember The Spellbinders & a few other more soulful tracks, but it was the poppier stuff I mainly remember for some reason. Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dranny Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Do not care what anybody says but M's always did it for me remember standing on the balcony sweating like mad just enjoying all the tunes from my yoofdays distorded speakers, turntables always on plus, lots of scarey guys lookin like they were on release from strangeways , you only stared once also remenber the bouncers kickin people out one night tunes for me back in the day Kool and the Gang "Kool and the Gang " . , Crusaders "Put it where you Want It " Favourite Wigan days for me Martyn Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

During my time at the casino (78/79) I never spent that much time in there but as it was oldies only, wouldn't anything have been played from previous years ie any wheel, torch or early/mid wigan records? not sure about the oldies only mate . i know it became an oldies room later on but in the early days it was just another room to accommodate the sheer number of people .in the early days many of the floor fillers of the day would be played along with older stuff i tried to explain it to friend the other day what it was like in there , to get from one part of the room where the little stage was to the other end near the toilets was a task , you had to pick your way though the folks all stood around the dance floor no easy task . complete strangers would just stick there arm out offering cola or chewing gum to anyone around them , for me there hasnt been another atmosphere in any club that could match it, as for dancing you couldnt even lift an arm up or hardly move your feet at times just a mass of sweaty bodies bouncing up n down .many times i ventured on the floor only to have to make a dash for the bogs to throw up coz the floor was alive .i could swear that dance floor bounced about 2 foot in the air at times it was the heavy duty party people's room. no doubt about it prophets ...i got the fever Edited August 30, 2011 by steptoe Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ian Parker Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 yep..... always full, always hot. as an infrequent visitor to station rd, the musical memories for me (from upstairs) are: Towanda Barnes - you dont mean it, Spencer Davis group, Otis smith, The O'jays - I love music, Linda Jones- just cant live my life. I loved M's . I was never a 'night person' , i just couldnt stay awake after 4am. I'd get a swift nudge off a mate letting me know a fave was on, suddenly i was goin for it like i'd had a shot of adrenalin. awesome place Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
