    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

Yes Levine did play this at Wigan in Nov 73.

Hardly a forgotten record is it?  :g:

could say that about quite a few on this page but i keep my opinion to myself

£50 Pete.WDJ £60.

 

No way. More like 20 for the issue*. No demand.

 

* no idea about the demo. Don't know if it's common or not.

 

Edit: just did a search on SS. the last copy I had was M- in 2012. Took me 6 months to sell. For 15 quid.

nice

got a rare coloured parkway demo for sale if any one is interested-never seen it before myself, only white demo's £30 takes itv away!!!

You're probably right but I'm Not built This Way is probably one of the least forgotten records I can think of so it seems strange to post it in a thread about forgotten records.

BTW giving your opinions is what this is all about, don't take offence

One of the worst...ever

It's true.  There's loads of non-forgotten records been posted.

Threads getting a bit long to go back and check every track posted, but.......

 

Another huge at Station Rd but deemed too rare (or not rare enough) for todays lot. :(

Have to disagree mate, this is one of the records that killed Wigan for me, 10th rate things like this, Cobblestone, Loves A Magic Word, John Leach - hated it then, hate it now!

To each his own...

That must be right then.

JAMES COIT BLACK POWER

 

JOE TEX YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT

 

SHIRELLES LAST MINUTE MIRACLE

 

LAINIE HALL TIME MARCHES ON

 

wish I could go back in a time machine  

I thought that the thread here was" Forgotten Monsters", not thank God they don't play them anymore!

James Coit was huge at the time, although I'd agree it hasn't exactly aged well.

 

Joe Tex is a proper 'Northern' Soul dancer, and still sounds fantastic to me 40 years later.

 

The Shirelles and Lanie Hill may not be the best  tracks our scene ever produced. but I'd MUCH sooner listen to these than some of the shite that's passed off as Northern Soul today.

coming home from wigan a bloke had black power and my m8 grabbed it off him snapped it over his knee and chucked it back at him just remembered when i seen it lol

They were monsters for me at the time lots of shite records have been mentioned but 40 odd years ago they all did the biz for those that were there, even though some off of us have moved on for me I wouldn't be were I am now today musically and into so many forms off soul music if it wasn't for those formative years of W.C.

RONAS THEME ~ RPM GENERATION

WHO CAN I TURN TO ~ MARC COPPAGE

Someone on youtube said that was played at the Casino and was 'the biggest tune', is he having a laugh, I'd like to hear proof that this was ever played there

Guy played Paradox at Stafford covered up.  Dunno about being played at Casino.

Just for a bit of fun does anyone remember who Russ covere this up as?
