Posted January 27, 200421 yr FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANNOT REMEMBER THE ARTIST OF A RECORD PLAYED AT WIGAN - SPUN I THINK BY PAT BRADY CALLED 'WHEN I WAS A KID' ANYBODY HELP, ARTIST, LABEL, AVAILABILITY? THANKS
January 27, 200421 yr It's not Billy Kennedy's "If I WasA Kid" is it ? You can hear the tune hear - Billy Kennedy (Real Audio)
January 29, 200421 yr yeah i remember this - got it on a tape from the casino, quite poppy stomper. best email mr brady and he'll tell you, probably have one for sale for about $300!!!!!
January 29, 200421 yr there is one out there, as can rememeber seeing it and billy kennedy was mentioned then...but can't rememeber full details possibly was a group, someone out there must know ? just a excuse to pass on that if logged in, can edit your posts later, so if like above someone posts up to a topic in between you writing and sending your bit can explain
January 30, 200421 yr REMEMBER THIS TRACK TOO, THINK I MIGHT HAVE IT ON AN OLD CRAPPY TAPE SOMEWHERE, RECORDED LATE 70'S AT CASINO IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT. POSSIBLY WAS C/UP AT THE TIME BY PAT BRADY? IT WAS A GREAT SONG, JUST LISTENED TO THE LINK KOLLA LEFT FOR B KENNEDY & NO IT ISNT THAT, MORE UPTEMPO DANCER TYPICAL OF THAT TIME. I'LL TRY AND DIG IT OUT & P[OST UP WHO PAT SAYS IT BIS ON THE TAPE, MIGHT THEN JOG A FEW MEMORIES. OR AS PREVIOUSLY PHONE OR EMAIL PAT BRADY (DETAILS AVAILABLE ON HIS WEBSITE) AS HE IS USUALLY VERY HELPFUL WITH QUERIES LIKE THIS - PARTCULARLY IF HE HAS ONE FOR SALE!! HAPPY HUNTING GRANT P.S. COULD BE THE B-SIDE OF THAT ELUSIVE LEGENDS TRACK I AM AFTER (LOL)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 30, 200421 yr I contacted Pat myself for you - he came back to me saying the following (pasted from my email):- Dear Grant I'll have to go on "who wants to be a millionaire" at this rate.....My starter for ten.....The record was Billy Kennedy on Silver Records. It was actually something that was released in the 70's that John Anderson found on a trip to Detroit around about 1978 though it is thought to have been a 60's track that was lying dormant in the vaults. Value-wise, around £50 I'd guess although you don't see it much. Hope that's of help Pat Well it aint the track I have on Wigan tape - so the one guest is after is probably the one i've got on tape as the tarck on www.soulclub.org. Mystery eh, i'll defo dig out the tape ! grant
January 31, 200421 yr Listened to the WIGAN TAPE with above record on it, Pat actualy announces it as Tony Middleton 'When I Was A Kid' surely must have been a c/up? certainly isnt the B Kennedy record - nuthin like! Anyone shed any more light? looks like pat needs to ask the audience!! Grant
February 2, 200421 yr Got in touch with Pat Brady again - apparently it is Rick Randall (or Randell) on MGM. Grant
July 9, 200421 yr I've just noticed this post and I've actually got a very near mint DJ copy of When I Was A Kid by Rick Randell I'm looking to out if anyone is interested for £40. My email address is richardpx@hotmail.com Ta Richard
July 9, 200421 yr Not the one you're looking for but Betty Wrights version of "if i was a kid" (Alston) is also super and the flip "life" is really good on the more modern side of things.. best Leo
