Had some tapes lying around for 40 years from the Casino 5th Anniversary and finally got around to digitising them so thought I'd share them:

4 hours of memories or an education for those too young to have been!

There are 3 tracks which I couldn't recognise (highlighted underlined) (1 in #2 Richard's set and 2 in #3 Russ's set)... it would be good to complete playlist so any help appreciated. UPDATE: Thanks to Steve Cee (and a few others) 2 now identified - playlist updated so just the one now to identify male (poppy) vocal (baby love / raging love???) in Russ's set tape 3.

NOTE: Where there are 2 artists the first is the cover-up name followed by /the real artist - same with the titlle

Jacques Pépino

French pop singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. 

Not that anybody is probably interested in the slightest ... but David Christie is an alias for Jacques Pepino: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Christie_(singer) 

... article also claims he used alias Napoleon Jones but according to Discogs Napoleon Jones is a group which is Verified by fact that later releases were Napoleon Jones Feat. David Christie..

No it wasn't him 😁 ... I knew who it was along along .... just couldn't bring myself to put it in the tracklist (only joking ... why would anyone remember that track? (or want to)

I can’t believe this was played.  And Russ says there was no drugs at Wigan! you had to be off yer head to a) play it and b) to dance to it.

No, I'm sure there wasn't. But I remember my late sister's boyfriend use to to spend several months in borstal & prison for breaking into chemists to elevate the suffering of asthmatics & obese in the North West. Evidently, all in vain?
