Just at work in the shop listening to Atlantic 2NG on the Macbook. All of a sudden, I'm instantly transformed back to 1975. Can't wipe the smile off my face.

 

I had completely forgotten how fantastic this record is:

 

Thelma Houston - I Ain't Going Nowhere.

 

I remember it was huge, and LP only.

 

How the hell we danced to it I just can't understand.   brilliant  brilliant 

 

Sorry, I just had an epiphany.   

Gloria Jones did a good version too.

Gonna add something in the same vein, nothing to do with Wigan casino and all that, but the flip of Billy Preston - 'The Girls got it' on Capitol has a track called 'The Night' thats recently got the "Wow! I Forgot How Great This Is………." from me, check it out...

Good call Phil, The LP came out on MOWEST in the US with 10 tracks and on MOWEST in the UK with 3 extra tracks, one of which was her version of "I Ain't Going Nowhere" (co written by Gloria Jones). I also heard it at the Mecca 74/75 and bought the then, still available LP at a local shop a few days later.

Yes, I had the LP back then John and used to play it out, but for some reason I forgot about it. And yes Mecca deffo, I never went to the casino.

I like that! Just goes to underline the "always play the flip side" ethos!

Yes good tune that had a few people running up to the decks when Karl (Heard) used to play it out.
