RW....STILL LOVE IT....finger to yoos lot :P

this was a mecca record and it was really rare at the time i remember searling begging me for a copy i had, in truth if there was still a demand it would still be as i think people forget the avco-embassy is a 74 reissue originals avco, this worked at the mecca but i dont think it did at the casino due to the different sound systems this can be said for a lot of records at the mecca you heard them as they should have been heard yet at wigan many came out as a muffled noise, yeh this really reminds me of the mecca, older members may remember marc on t.v there was a programme comedy called julia about a widowed mother, marc was the son and Diahnn carroll was the mother, late 60s

cheers for posting that up paul, im in the fan club :thumbsup:

My poor old dog has just run out of the room howling in disbelief so it must of hurt his ears

too :thumbsup: , utter crap i would rather listen to exus trek for 12 hours than hear that ever again.

i cant believe that was ever played and danced too, imvho though,

Oooh errr.. .that's not very nice. karen_bridges_anime11.gif

Can't decide wether the MC track is rubbish or not but at least it's up & fun, i'd rather hear that played at a venue than some oh so soulfull dull plodder, at least the beat would make me wanna get up & dance.

The second one is ok, not the sort of thing i'd want to hear played at an NS do but maybe at an across the board Soul venue.

Nice to hear 'em both anyway, a lot of this stuff has been lost to us newbies, you only tend to get the more established Wigan/Mecca oldies played at dos.

Feel free to keep on educating the likes of myself Paul, interesting stuff!

Simon :thumbsup:

Rather than be educated listening to shite like these, can I remain dumb and stupid. :fool: Please no more! :thumbsup:

Feel Free...

I still have memories of this packing the floor, I guess the people who slate records from the early days are just too young to have seen records like this pack the floor, and weren't around to see the raw energy that was happening on the dance floor, for the younger ones out there by the time you had come along the northern scene had matured and you most probably were brought up on quality sounds that you heard played at your youth club or by older siblings. So perhaps the reality is that if the scene wasn't what it was in those early 70's then you may never have got around to hearing what you now consider quality northern soul, as the scene may never have happened. I still love lots of those early northern tracks because they help me get were I'm am today, it doesn't mean playing them out, but I still dig them in my record room with eyes closed picturing a mass of young people pounding the dance floor, this was northern soul pure and simple, and if you weren't there at the time then you can never know what it was like, so don't knock what you have never experienced. :thumbsup::ohmy:

Why not play 'em out though, i'm sure they could easily replace the odd tune that's been played out a zillion times, be a nice change!

I agree that they are lots of oldies that can and should be re-activated, and I have made an effort to do just that at some of the spots I do, but even at an oldies spot if it ain't one of those 50 records then you get the old can't you play oldies ringing in your ear from some idiot. :thumbsup:

Get this one out of ya boxes boys and girls

awesome record from the early days.

Its not matured much with age, but there is another context with Marc Copage. He was one of several very young singers being promoted in the wake of the Jackson Five. Others mentioned on the site would be Reggie Garner, Cubie Burke of the Stairsteps and Kathy Sledge of Sister Sledge - all primary school kids with dance appeal and played at Wigan.

Didn't Marc also appear as a child actor in Doctor Kildare?

Link not working this end Paul ..

That first tune, the chap can't actually sing really can he? Which kind of doesn't help his cause, in fairness.

first tune was actually painful - i'm in the jimmy osmond cover-up brigade.

second - bit too much much of a disco-funk number (as oposed to disco-soul, which i often like)

mandrill - never really liked much....

GT - not too bad but not mind blowing...

Perfectly said. There are several tracks when heard today on our good quality home kits that sound out of place or crap. But at the time, with 1500 (or more) people, knackered, sweaty and deaf from the music blastin out of shitty DJ equipment, to hear these sounds was a totally different experience, hence they are rembered with a fondess by those, like me, who were there (and no, I am not braggin!).
