Cleggy/clifton/mecca 70S Stompers

Posted

This thread may sink or swim but i just love talking about my records and other peoples records.So here is the concept i'm looking for

1/ All records from your own collections and all original UK or US releases

2/ 10 choices of records

3/ UPTEMPO BLACKPOOL MECCA/CLEETHORPES/CLIFTON HALL SOUNDS

70s stompers seem to be resented by the oldies crowd but were a major part of the scene at all the legendary venues.They were difficult to dance to and took skill and youthfull energy maybe why they are passed over nowadays as we all nurse our bad backs and knackered knees.But you dont see many of the young uns dancing to them either.Its almost as if they are being rubbed out of the present soul night scene.So lets see your record lists of your fave shufflers and 7os stompers

Lets have no infighting about what sounds were played where first,generally looking for the tracks in your collections that are associated with these venues.The records you select can be well known or underplayed,common or scarce,big money or cheepies.They must be its up to you as long as you own em.So 20 records to pick which represent a great of the Northern scene should be interesting if anyone still likes talking about records anymore we will see.I will kick off the proceedings with my offerings. All mine are well known and were massive plays back in the day

Mr. Fish, thanks so much for these mixes! I'm really digging into "the Mecca sound" at the moment and these are a fantastic reference point.

Blimey - used to listen to this thinking 2001 sounded like something from space age times. And it's now almost 2013! Where have the years gone - have we spent them wisely. Personally, I've f*cked up big style. 2013 - gonna get myself together, sho nuff now together, you can bet your bottom dollar it's together.

I wonder why the Midsong and Midland?

Tyrone is definitely Clifton Hall and Cleethorpes - probably latter wigan too. Love it.

Marboo definitely Mecca , usually Mecca records went quickly to become Cleethorpes sounds, two venues who championed new releases

Yep - Clifton & Cleggy.

Happy New year Peter.
