Pete S Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) This late 1976 period was fantastic and I’m really sad that this is my only remaining tape from that period, I did have others but they were lent out and never returned. Two things that I enjoyed about this, listen to The Champion and you can really hear the sound of feet on that dancefloor, what an atmosphere (this is a little cheat as I actually recorded that 2 weeks earlier at the 3rd Anniversary but left it on the tape) and even better, Danse A La Musique — it sounds like people clapping but that is the sound of feet ‘stomping’, not clapping. I remember recording that sat on the balcony overlooking the dancefloor and watching the packed dancefloor in sheer awe. I can also hear the late Phil Shelton saying “fancy recording Wigan” into the mic, first time I’ve ever noticed that…a bit spooky. https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/wigan-casino-9-10-76/ WILLIE MITCHELL — THE CHAMPION MATT LUCAS — YOU BETTER GO GO RICHARD POPCORN WYLIE — ROSEMARY WHAT HAPPENED BOBBY HUTTON — LEND A HAND JOHNNY WILLIAMS — JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING JAY & THE AMERICANS — GOT HUNG UP ALONG THE WAY RONNIE McNEIR — SITTING IN MY CLASS MYSTIC MOODS — ASTRAL TRIP FRENCH FRIES — DANSE A LA MUSIQUE BILLY WOODS — LET ME MAKE YOU HAPPY YUM YUMS — GONNA BE A BIG THING MVP’s — TURNING MY HEARTBEAT UP NORMA JENKINS — CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT ADAMS APPLES — DON’T TAKE IT OUT ON THIS WORLD ROSCOE & FRIENDS — BROADWAY CISSY MYSTIC MOODS — ASTRAL TRIP RAIN — OUT OF MY MIND RON HOLDEN — I’LL FORGIVE AND FORGET Edited January 28, 2013 by Pete S 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Top drawer thanks for sharing it. No problem at all, nice that others can get to hear them, also they help to wipe away some of the lies that people tell about Wigan only playing pop music!

Bo Diddley Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks Pete. I noticed that your reply to Shelton was less than subtle!! I can just imagine his big silly grin. Cheers Kev Bod Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
