New Podcast - "oldies Oblivion"

[Pete S]

Once upon a time, these tracks were at the top of the heap - amongst the

biggest sounds of the day - but now they are kept out of view, at the back

of record boxes and on dusty shelves, never to be removed from their

sleeves. Why? Have a listen to some of the biggest Northern Soul tracks of

the 70's and decide whether they should remain in Oldies Oblivion!

'Supership' is bloody awesome, wish sounds like this were still played occasionally today, from when sounds were played cos they were FUNKY !! , still in those days you still got mardy sods moaning about ' that funky shit ' so no change there.

I'm 45 fat and bald and can still stomp all the way thru it - but then I never had any 'taste' (Whatever that is !).

Great to hear 'Branded' after a couple of decades, but perhaps 'Out of my mind' could stay in the box for another decade or 2 !!!

This is the exact response I was hoping for Rob. People's opinions. I personally think Branded is terrible and I like Out Of My Mind but so what! Have to say I really enjoyed playing some of those.

Just been listening to "oblivion" at work, thanks. Boy the memories come flooding back, Wigan, The Mecca, The Ritz Manchester and loads of local do's around Manchester at the time. Actually i have palyed a couple at Denton Britsih legion over thre last few months. High Voltage, Three Degree's, Mike Post, they didn't get much support, shame!!! but I'm affraid the others will have to stay in a box in the cellar.. Who knows sometime in the future some enterprising young sod will "discover" George Bad Benson, Rain, Robert Knight and Johnny Williams and give them the support they deserve

Cheers John

It's actually by The Moments on Hog Karen but when it was discovered I don't think the artist name was on the acetate so they called it Fabulous Impacts and it came out on a Kent anniversary single. It's a different version to the actual release (better in fact). The 45 on Hog is a four figure job
