Popular Post Pete S Posted December 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2014 NORTHERN SOUL — THE CASINO YEARS 1973 TO 1975 (Part Two) Part Two. Okay this is how it really was, warts and all. In this next set of podcasts, I’m going to be tracing the history of Northern Soul via the Wigan casino years. Not Wigan again you say…well it’s the only place I went, so therefore I can recreate the playlists from experience. Obviously some records cross over to and start in other clubs, but the playlist below is what you would could have expected to hear had you been on the Northern scene between 1973 and 1975. This is the second part of two episodes looking back at some of the scene’s biggest records of the period in a not strictly but not far off chronological order. There are some awesome records here, especially the last half, but there are a few that should be confined to history too: Lester Lanin, Judy Harris, T.D. Valentine to name but three. But leaving them out would be meddling with history…(apologies for The Gypsies track being all over the place!)

Guest Dave Ward Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Probably my favourite years at WC. As a relatively new comer, I never knew what was coming up next, you were either learning about older stuff, or hearing new stuff, but always dancing. Thanks Pete.

Rich B Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Top drawer Pete! Very pleased that you didn't give in to the temptation to re write history - so many do. I always loved Judy Harris, though having heard it recently it hasn't stood the test of time well. Lester Lanin - like some others played at the time was an aberration, but the scene is littered with them. I am going to really enjoy listening to it properly when I get in from work! Thanks for sharing! RB Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
