If you ever went to the Casino, or if you wanted to go but never made it, you'll love this...30 minutes of prime-time Richard Searling, and a couple of oldies from Keith Minshull - from the 7th anniversary - and the legendary 3 Before 8 from the 4th anniversary in 1977. The first part is in excellent quality but you will need to turn the volume way up. Look out for a spine-tingling Barbara McNair "You're gonna love my baby" in particular. The second part is not quite so good quality as I recorded it from the back of the hall on a portable mono cassette recorder, but it really picks up the atmosphere.

OK seeing as this has gone down rather well, I've dug out another Searling spot, this time from 1981, I promise I won't cut any of the modern out and I'll get it posted up later tonight. It won't be on my website because it's undergoing a change of server but it will be on a podcast site where you can listen directly. Give us an hour or two.

I can't get on your site Pete, either via the link or typing in manually, goes to easyspace saying error input or summat like.

Great stuff Pete!!! great memories for those of us who went to the Casino. Just one question about the above: did you used to slap yourself daft in the car park?????

For those that didnt go, thats an in-joke for the older ppl;)

that one works, listening now.

OK I know what I said but I am having to break my promise, I've just sat through half an hour of the worst Searling spot of all time and there is no way I am putting that on my website - Keni Burke, Curtis, Pages, and a load of horrendous disco type music, no 60's so far, I've scrapped that one and found another one which is a billion times better, from 79 - it includes the very first play ever of Can't Get Over These Memories for a start.

the 3 before 8 sounds f*cking great, especially Tobi Legend. the clapping, the atmosphere, no where these days comes close.

Oh, come on Pete............is there no way you can do this without adding it to your website???

Just dug out the Omni and gave it a spin..............then Rumple-stilt-skin "I Think I Want To Dance With You".......one for Simon M that..............you'd really hate that Pete

Rumple-stilt-skin , yep got the LP Marky boy , Ive also dug me Omni stuff out , "Out of my hands" , etc

check out their downtempo "You make it happen " sweet as a nut ...However that Pages sounds a bit hmmm well , I heard Mark Dobson plays it now so maybe another spin is needed

ps. Im so glad Mr Anderson gave all that super Modern Soul to Richard

Great tape, many thanks. I love hearing the tapes from the heady days, they bring back so may memories. No matter the venue, we were young, the atmosphere was awesome and no matter the value of vynil today, the buzz from back then is priceless..

the 3 before 8 sounds f*cking great, especially Tobi Legend. the clapping, the atmosphere, no where these days comes close.

leicester 2nd anniversary and warrington parr hall niters were the closest to the Wigan atmosphere since the casino closed...imo of course ..

the 3 before 8 at the end of an era is even more phenominal!!!

Thank you, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Cheers Pete,

These Pod casts were great. At the time of the Casino, I personally felt that the atmosphere was too commercial and did not want to queue like a football match queue. I chose to frequent other clubs such as Wakefield Unity Hall etc.

Like most old soulies, I wish I could turn the clock back and soak up the atmosphere again but have the appreciation that I have now.

Thanks for the pod casts.

Hi..I'm originally from halifax. Did you got to Tiffanys on Monday nights ( northern night) ? The 70's were great years. Do you know any of the old crowd?.Stevie Leedham, Graham Haddon, Malcolm Shaw, Pete Greenwood ( Greeny ) Liz Budds ( my cousin ) Carol, Eva ( forgotten the last names ) I went to school with Graham Haddons sister Pauline.

Thanks Pete pet.....................really enjoyed that.......................

Ferguson tape recording......................I used to tape top of the pops with one of them things!!!! Quality!!

GREAT how the old and new was mixed ! probably with no attitude ? just Soul!

Thanks for bringing this thread back up

I've enjoyed listening to this podcast 2nite

all those soul genres crossing feet relatively seamlessly, '77 before my time, but I remember the Oddies being a bit like this (a bit, not quite so successively, but near enough).

Made my night so thanks for that bump (no innuendo intended).

Thanks for that ! When I hear the clapping I'm there again!I've got a CD of a tape from a Saturday night in 1976, but wouldn't know how to put it on here.

At the time that was all most of us had to listen to, some dodgy cassette tapes and a few records!

I had one tape left by the time I got to Australia and when that broke I had nothing for years... until I re-discovered it again.

Nice one Pete

wow - cool!. top start to a weekend.

That reminds me, I'm sure there's a couple of tapes lying around, either I've got them or Neil has. They've got a mixture of Dj's on, RS, Brian Rae, Evo & Martyn Ellis from the casino, I'll do some investigating and dig them out I think. I've not played them for must be nearly 5/6 years..

Got my first request for tonight lined up too, Court Davis. I know Neil or Sean has it & I can't wait to hear it over a big system again..

Jayne.x. (all excited now!).

Hi Una

If you can make a cd of the tape I can easily guide you through the process of getting it onto the net, it's a bit boring though!

whoops, just got a boll---ing off the librarian in St. Ives (Cornwall), seems they don't appreciate the music in the computer room, particularly as I couldn't find the volume icon to turn it down

I've got it on CD already. By the way, listened to the "Oldies Oblivion" podcast today and you're right there were lots of long forgotten sounds. A few should remain so! But some just bring back so many memories! I enjoyed listening though.

Would love to hear more casino tapes, pretty sure I was there on the 2 nights on Petes tape. 30 years later and we are still here, strange eh?
