Frankie Crocker Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Sounds good and no doubt I’ll treat myself to the set. I must say, Dooley Silverspoon is an odd choice as it was a ‘newie’ at the time it was first spun at the Casino. My most vivid memories of M’s include Anne Sexton, King Errison, Travis Wammack, Al Wilson-Help Me and of course the big tunes from the Wheel-Torch era incuding Spencer Davis-Keep On Running, Williams and Watson-Too Late plus others by Major Lance, Gene Chandler etc. Edited December 17, 2017 by FRANKIE CROCKER typo 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Are physical cd's still selling? Is mp3 download more popular? Nostalgic look back, especially if there is book of note accompanying the set, but surely EVERY track listed has been put out before. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulsider Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 John leach, Gwen Owens, Mood Mosaic and a few more all main ballroom sounds predominantly. Surely? No that it matters now 40+ years on. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Monthly oldies all nighters aside I only recall Mood Mosaic from M's, John Leach and Gwen Owens I would have had down as mainly Big room plays, but as you say may have crept into M's towards the very end.

Popular Post Banner Posted December 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2017 Fond, very fond memories of Mr M's around 1974-75. Almost everything I played was 100mph, or at least something that kept the floor full. That was what Mr M's was all about for me. There were certain records you knew would get the floor packed and bouncing. Some were a little unorthodox and certainly not 'pure', classic, Northern soul, but they went down well, very well, at the time. Some of the best that I found kept the dancers hammering away were; Little Queenie - Bill Blacks Combo Sea Cruise - Ace Cannon Too Late - Williams & Watson I Got The Fever - Creation/Prophets Seven Days Too Long - Chuck Wood I'm Standing - Rufus Lumley Breakout- Mitch Ryder You Get Your Kicks - Mitch Ryder Quick Change Artist - Soul Twins One Wonderful Moment - Shakers Girl, Don't Make Me Wait - Bunny Sigler Better Use Your Head - Little Anthony Out On The Floor - Dobie Gray Shing-A-Ling - Cooperettes Sliced Tomatoes - Just Brothers What Would I Do - Tymes Exes Trek - Luther Ingram Crying' Over You - Duke Browner I've Got Something Good - Sam & Kitty Nothing Can Compare To You - Velvet Satins I even used Mike Post - Afternoon On The Rhino when it stopped being played in the main room and one of my all time favourites A Little Togetherness - The Younghearts. I wish I could go back in time and experience it again, just once would do!!! 6 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A new play soon became an oldie due to the huge availability of new finds that were quickly played to death and then classed as oldies. The oldies to me in those days were wheel & torch sounds. Everyone has their own interpretation. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Back Street Blue Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 yes the main room sounds crept upstairs in the latter years..........but these epitomise M's to me; James Carr - that's what I want to know Rex Garvin - sock it to 'em JB Bill Cosby - little old man Davis & Tyler - hold on help is on the way The Dynatones - the fife piper Brooks & Jerry - I got what it takes Spencer Davis - trampoline ..........and loads of other slow stuff 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul Shrews Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Would have thought John Leach was played towards the last couple of years or so of the Casino so not had chance to become an "oldie" ? Also rarity may have played a part. Cheers Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Anybody confirm if this got played in M's much, or even at all?

I wish I could go back in time and experience it again, just once would do!!! That's the sort of playlist I remember for M's. Also add "A Little Bit Hurt" Julian Covey. That used to take the roof off! I do remember "My World Is On Fire" Jimmy Mack being played quite a lot, even though now it maybe wouldn't be associated with M's. Youth and top notch gear was needed for M's ! Edited February 23, 2021 by Halogen 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ah ah, a Torch playlist in the most part, as a lot of M`s stuff was great sounds from the all time great clubs that went before. But once a month all this and then some came down to the main floor where it was mixed in with the Wheel, Catcmbs etc ...Now that was a night to attend. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Carty Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 Ms playlist changed when the Twins started Dj ing in there , They seemed to go for Rare originals , many of which had recently stopped being played downstairs as the had been pressed , whereas before ,with Kenny Spence , Mike Rollo etc ,it was more about the kind of stuff on Banners playlist . Mike Rollo would always start with "Wade in the water" . lots of 50p records would shake the place to its foundations , one that always had that effect was The Bandwagon ," Breaking down the walls of heartache ". Loved the place , Another level . 6 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
