first record I heard at Wigan.  Walked in to that sweaty atmosphere and I didn't say a word  Yvonne Baker was on.  Overplayed now but mid 70s, Wigan Casino, spot on!!

Obviously and endless list but..

 

Electric on that floor. And I mean on that floor.

I remember arriving at the King's Hall, Stoke, around 2005.  I'd made my own way there because of an earlier engagement and arrived at around midnight to meet the "crew".  I walked across the car park, you know what it's like, you can hear the feint thud of the beat of the music that gets louder as you approach and your heart beat starts to quicken with excitement.  I paid, walked towards the doors, hauled them open and Unsatisfied by Lou Johnson was booming out over that huge ceiling. The floor was packed, a sea of bouncing heads, a steamy haze above and the feeling was pure exhilaration.  I remember that experience vividly to this day.  😊. 

Walking down the stairs of the 100 club & hearing Maxine Brown - It's Torture. 

Hairs on the back of the neck!!

The Chaumonts Love Is The Thing banging out of, I want to say, Woking, which would have been 80'something or other...

Ah, aren't drugs great?

The intro to invitations “look on the good side” is very atmospheric and uplifting

 

flame n king “happy days” is another atmospheric feel good track

Paris Blues - feels like it was recorded in a very large hall, so much depth to the music.

Darkest Days at the Wheel!!! All day(night) long !

Only one for me I have listened to top DJ's all over the country, heard the rarest of the rare heard every soul Genre (and god have I heard some sounds) but there's still one track no matter how many times I hear it no matter where I am that still makes my toes tingle, even after all the years I've been hitting the dance floor, that's the MVP's "Turnin' My Heartbeat Up" (True Atmosphere)

Too many to mention but that 'Backstreet Band' version of 'Back Street' that Guy Hennigan used to play was the first one that came to mind.

Casino - when the first 5 seconds kick in - not rare some would say nota particularly good tune - you had to be there - outstanding

Wigan Casino 74 . Earl Wright - Thumb a ride , hundreds of dancers doing a single clap at exactly the same time at different parts of the record .

When I first started going to allnighters - Crown Hotel Thornton Fife then Glenrothes YMCA - Colin Law spin from then - still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up with the opening bars !!!
