Jimmy A Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sorry if its been asked before but when was this first spun Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Geeselad Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I love this tune, though I know many dont, i first heard it spun at venues like, the ritz and prestwich around the late 9ts, when it was a big, big spin, not sure where it was spun first, late wigan maybe?

Chalky Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Gary Spencer late 80's early 90's. Billy Lennox cover up. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest in town Mikey Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Chalky is probably right. Would it have been played at Mod venues before it found its way to the soul scene. Similar to stuff like - Voodoo Workin' ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jimmy A Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I remember it in the 90s ,some folk saying its a big Mod record from the 80s? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Doesn't surprise me it was played earlier though I wouldn't have thought it was deemed good enough for Cleethorpes. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Matt Male Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Not popular at all these days, along with Larry Trider, massive at one time now a pariah record. I still like it though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dennisoul Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Don't see it for sale much of late...4/5 years ago there seemed to be a copy for sale most weeks either on eBay or on SS. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

jocko Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 No more can we say Pokes Impeccable spins, oh well suppose even Poke would be allowed one mistake, although it was a big one!! Total pigs sweat gland of a record. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I love it. Such a haunting tune. Might be overplayed everywhere but as I rarely go out these days it still sounds fresh to me. Unlike that Papa Bear record that bored me the 2nd time I heard it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
