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

I had a cassette with Levine playing it at Wigan,also one of the first times he played Laura Green introducing it "if you don´t know this one it starts slow but gets going" later to be known as "Wait for the beat"

 

Steve

Yes Levine did play this at Wigan in Nov 73.

£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.

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

 

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

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

Really? Quite like this one Pete, always have and was so right at the time it was played

 

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...

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.

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.

picked up this a couple of months ago, mate then told me it was played death throes of Wigan, sure enough the attached clip validates it

Too old for Wigan myself

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
