Alfie Khan. Tojo.Nita Rossi.

I think TOJO was played at The Cats. Here's a picture of Max's copy I bought from him in about 1978.

wow..not that it really surprises me..he played some great stuff and had a connection with Anderson..but i always thought it was G&E..

Still got my "looky - likey - Rika" so some poor bootlegger must've got their fingers burned.

Thats fair enough then Local, like I said, real oldies to me, didn't really know their turntable history.

Not my sort of record but Ral Donner "Don't let it slip away". Marva Jones "I got your number" played by Pep as I remember.

Astral Trip - Mystic Moods.

Never heard it played after the Casino, does it ever get played anywhere?

i played it at blackpool tower this may ..guy asked me if i had it and said yeah,,,he hadnt heard it since wigan

 

i play it occasionally at the nuneaton coop oldies allniter

ral is quite rare on the Sunlight label ..not every ones cup of tea but i like it...

fab oldie..

 

And I'm gonna play it out tomorrow.   :thumbsup:

The Gladiators. That Miami Sound. 

Still got an Emidisc with Johnny Bragg on the other side.

Of course it,s a mash up of the Centuries , Jack 23 surf instrumental but huge for a month.

hmm..all about timing..was played quite a bit later on..75 ish...

Also big enough to get a pressing on Soul galore?

I certainly remember it from my formative years although can't be precise about where/when

I finally got my 4th Anniversary tape back this week and it features Alan Rhodes spot followed by Pep's, both of them play Marva Jones but it rarely got played after that really...thought it would go huge.

talking of instrumentals, wasn't the producers Lady, Lady, Lady,
(inst to what kind of lady) a wigan only sound? can't recall it being put on at Blackpool? But may be wrong, only went there a half a dozen times

ha yes..i only ever remember this from Sam's..but sure JV must've played it elsewhere..an exclusive for him..bit too fast really...

two big casino sounds from 76 ish .... 'Road to Ruin' Earl Wright...( remixed from Pretty Purdie's 'Testifyin')  and another remix 'Dress Rehearsal' van Mcoy strings..

Precisions, Such Misery.

While this is what I'd call a real oldie (so I don't know if it was first spun @ Wigan), a real clapper & got some hammer from loads of different DJs @ Wigan all the time I was going, really associate this.
