    Since 90+% of those who went to nighters (when these were still around) will have munched their way through a few hundred of these over the years is there really any need for being a stuffed shirt abo

    Always puzzled me slightly Ste this obsession some on here have with which venue played which track first and at what time. You'd almost think that certain venues had some kind of Chin Strokers exclus

Another old fave Clyde McPhatter - Please Guve Me One More Chance. I think this also carried over to Staffird with the likes of Main Change -Sunshine and Johnny Honeycutt - Coming On Over and another from that era Court Davis the old Herbie Williams c/up The Lover Who Loves You Not...Tunes that aren't or rarely played nowadays....

Danny White - cracked up over you

...Not heard that for a while?

i spin that regular... over here in california. love the drums!

Don't think it has been mentioned yet, but Shep, "Fool To Fool" was forgotten for a long time before being reactivated.

Pete

Well I think I know which category you'll be putting this in,it was massive.Dave Evison to blame isn't it :lol:

Lou Christie-Lightenin' Strikes MGM

Martyn

Not sure where you get prog from? A better swamp pop record than a soul one, maybe :thumbsup:

 

Saw Tony Joe White live last year - he looks a sounds like a man who's lived a dozen very full lives and he's still got a ferocious guitar style - great stuff!

As a country tune its ok,maybe not prog,but can we both agree its Shite,as an NS example.? :lol:

I was quite suprised a couple of years ago when a Wigan 1974 "live" CD was doing the rounds. It was the one with Footsee, The Zoo, Tainted Love etc, all very well known tracks except one I didnt really remember, and to me, stuck out like a good sore thumb. The track was Kenny Ballard, I'm Losing You. Not brilliant, but better than many of the other tracks.

That was played by Russ at the time of the 1979 Mod Revival.  Great record, but Northern??

The Professionals - That's why I love you ( Groove City ) ??

HI Pete - I dont often hear it get played though...... must be going the wrong venues, LOL

What about the Trade Martin acetate that was - "You know what I like" 

 

or Jimmy Delphs - Dancing a hole in the world ?

Don't know about play outs but it's still extremely popular - reissued again last year in fact

Joe Tex, Better Believe It.

This was massive for a short while.

Never liked it personally, was big, don't know if it's forgotten or not to be honest?

   I'm gonna change,   Four Seasons 

i'm gonna change now that was a record that would make ya sweat, hate it now

Joe Tex, Better Believe It.

Always loved this track and whenever I hear it (which is rarely, sadly) is one of those tracks that instantly puts me back at Station Rd.

 

A full floor dancing AND clapping to this was truly fantastic.

 

And I wonder how many Jocks were caught out by that ending?.. :lol:

and this

 

 

loved this early 70s but as a medic in army 1982 working at Aldershot seeing guys coming home from Falkland islands with horrific injuries added a new perspective to all those anti war songs and would make you depressed

 

Soul If it aint about love or deprevation it aint  soul.

read that on a record sleeve somewhere

The Seeds???? played at the Casino? I'd love to have heard that!… garage rock at niters - the new r'n'b?

 

they did better than that, JOE 90, And it was a big play for years. hence why I started goin south

That was played by Russ at the time of the 1979 Mod Revival. Great record, but Northern??

Pete take my hat off too you - you really know your $hit - I can only remember hearing it a few times must be either 78 - 79 never heard it since - the floor use to go full speeeeeeeeeed

None if the copy's like mine, it fades at the end, the abrupt breaks happen earlier than the end. :yes:
