Bit like this then.....

 

They call just about every old record Northern Soul now, in the hope somebody buys it!

Strange though doing a few Northern/handbag nights around Wigan I've been asked for Shattered Glass. People are convinced it was played at the Casino but I don't recall that. Maybe it was at the short pants sessions?

I tell them to go down King Street, there's loads of broken glass there.

yep.., i find it the ultimate insult from dopes who never stepped foot inside the place

Can be no denying some of the  shit that was played though.

Hit the preview button on this page and answer the question for yourself ... as bad as some of the Wigan plays were this one cannot have been spun ...

PS Have the Shawn Elliot in my box ... 

Thanks for that WoodButcher! That truly is pants.

I have the Shawn Elliott too and I love it.

Anthony Newley did it first ( and composed it ... ! ) ... 

 

The Newley track is popcorn and I think my mate in Cambridge (who's a Mod) plays it.

I've heard Shawn Elliott at Northern nights.

Uncle Ady used to play it , 100 Club's where I first heard it .

The Newly track is shite! 

I'd rather listen to Michael Crawford's Phantom of the Opera.

Mm, where is that CD.

Pedro.

There are also versions by Shirley Bassey and Sammy Davis Jr on YT ... but they're shite too ...

Presume you are talking about Shawn Elliott

If I was to suggest that Ady had spun Norman Wisdom or Anthony Newley I'd never be allowed to set foot in the 100 Club again ... which would be a crying shame after 30 or so years ...
