Guest allnightandy Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just seen one for sale on Ebay and was wondering , was this out before Chuck Jackson , was Chuck Jackson a manufactured release just for the scene , was it yet another manufactured northern record or was it a genuine release that was picked up through the normal channels I remember both being very big at the Casino in about 1975 and they used to get played a lot in the Beachcomber in the mornings :g: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Spooky and Sue was also a big East Coast hit at Cleethorpes Andy. I seem to recall that S and S was first but I really don't know the detail. It may well have been a spin for Ian Dewhirst - but I can't remember that either! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) I recall The Moments version played off their album before either of those. Edited June 16, 2012 by Godzilla 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I recall The Moments version played off their album before either of those. That's absolutely correct, people were begging for the Moments to be issued as a 45, but they never released it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I recall The Moments version played off their album before either of those. I didn't even know of this version - just looked and it does appear that this is the original version. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I didn't even know of this version - just looked and it does appear that this is the original version. Same backing track. Best version - I think so anyway. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Same backing track. Best version - I think so anyway. You could be right Pete. Always preferred Chuck Jackson to Spooky and Sue - probably because I have the CJ version on LP and used to play that. Now we have the moments take too! Bit 70's esque for you isn't it mate?

Patto Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 As already stated the Spooky & sue was The East coast fave but think that this and Chuck were both1975 releases.However they are both eclipsed by the silky smooth Moments LP only original version Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Now we have the moments take too! Bit 70's esque for you isn't it mate? No I liked all that stuff at the time mate. And still do. Did you not hear that podcast I did the other week, old favourites from that period.. These records were all spun on the Northern Soul scene, mainly between 1975 and 77, and the interesting thing is that back then, I didn't separate these from the 60's tunes, it was all Northern Soul. Somewhere along the way, lines became drawn and suddenly we had Modern Soul and much later, Crossover, but these uptempo 70's dancers will always have strong connections to some great days on the Northern Soul scene. I was never a Blackpool Mecca attendee but every one of these tracks was played at Wigan and most at Cleethorpes and probably places like The Ritz too. Anyway, great memories and to my surprise, one of the most enjoyable podcasts I've ever done! https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/lets-all-have-a-disco/ CREATIVE SOURCE - DON'T BE AFRAID (TAKE MY LOVE) - POLYDOR DOOLEY SILVERSPOON - GAME PLAYERS - SEVILLE EAST COAST CONNECTION - SUMMER IN THE PARKS - NEW DIRECTIONS AQUARIAN DREAM - PHOENIX - BUDDAH BRAINSTORM - WAKE UP AND BE SOMEBODY - TABU VICKI SUE ROBINSON - TURN THE BEAT AROUND - RCA LENNY WILLIAMS - CHOOSING YOU - ABC MOMENTS - NINE TIMES - STANG WILL COLLINS & WILLPOWER - IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO - BAREBACK RIMSHOTS - DO WHAT YOU FEEL - STANG JAMES BYNUM - TIME PASSES BY - PHILLY CITY CAMEO - FIND MY WAY - CHOCOLATE CITY FAT LARRY'S BAND - CENTER CITY - WMOT BATAAN - THE BOTTLE (LA BOTELLA) - RCA D.C.

I was minded at the time to post up that i'd nearly spat me cornflakes out when I saw the play list and that it was from you! Will Collins is probably the latest (time wise) discovery/play on the podcast - very soulful. A Sir Dickie spin I think? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Good 'cos I hate the Spooky & Sue version LOL. She's actually off key throughout the record. The Moments original for me every time - one of the truly great early Modern Soul anthems in my opinion...... Ian D 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jim G Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 it was a tragedy the Moments never released this on 45 as it could have a been a hit for them methinks. It was very popular at the Casino on the good old days Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
