help us out

mate says first played at Stafford by Dave Thorley

i say a wigan spin first

with a beer riding on it

definite firsty play place is of most importance

WHO IS THE RECORD BY - DOESNT RING ANY BELLS

Black Eyed Peas being the group

think a 1970 release on Ultra City

Funny enough on top of current uk charts is group callled the same

Suppose Black eyed peas must be a sort of US equivelant to "mushy peas"..... maybe

I can remember Dave playing this, definetly in the early 80s, not sure whether it was at Stafford or not. Lots of the stuff played at Stafford had airings at the casino and didn't capture the imagination.

That is, until us more discernable soulies from Stafford caught on and helped make them the classics they are today.

There was supposed to be a smiley in that post. As you dont have a *Tongue-in-cheeky*.

Anyone got an MP3 or if not an RA they can send me?

send to chalky101@btinternet.com if you can

Cheers

To my knowledge this is mainly a Stafford record spun by Dave T. but as mikey points out lots of the early stafford records were played at Wigan in its final years (i got the tapes). I spun it a couple of times at the CSC some years ago but it didn't take with the main dancers so i binned it. I think the flip side is a live recording or crowd over dubbed etc...nice track as well mind. Anyway i'll go with Stafford as thats where it got really spun.

Thats right Greg - a lot of early Stafford sounds had previously been broke or attempted to be broke at the Casino such as Smallest Man Alive, also remember 'Stafford' biggies such as Betty Lloyd, Ray Agee, Executive 4, Chaumonts instr., etc being spun in the latter days of the Casino

Chalky - try Hammy via Soul Talk for an RA. He's definately got a copy (well he did have earlier this year).

Or you can pay £150 at Manship's for the 45 itself. Expensive but tempting...

This record was played at Wigan for sure, but never did much there, it was around in boxes, common sight. That kind of thing.

I first played this at the Ritz, after Stafford had finished, late 80's

Tom's the smallest man alive. Well he was at the time. He's the one on the right btw. He should take that cap off, it makes him look silly.

Not sure if that's true I remember a guy at Wigan called Matchie from Rotheram - good dancer - sure he was smaller than Tom Thumb

Seem to recall that the Ghetto Boys - Handwriting on the Wall was a Casino spin too (amongst as you say many other) always loved this when Guy was playing it at Stafford

Presumably he was called Matchie because of he Swan Vesta-esq build?
