We have done this topic before , but well worth raising again ......

Richard's last spot at WC , was highly creditable - cover ups and known sides - and would stand up if played at any venue today ......

I have stated this before , what makes the list interesting , is that several of the records chosen for his last spot , the titles - real or given to them - mirror Richard's feelings at the time , in respect of the way he considered and viewed his situation and contribution to , and with , WC .....

Fantastic Playlist that should go down well at most Niters....... well it would with me anyway!..

Was the above taken from Dave Shaws book 'Casino'?.....

Absolutely stands the test of time. Superb new 60's discoveries and modern soul of the highest order.

Stunning play list.

It's in Dave Nowell's 'Too Darn Soulful' - strangely enough was flicking through it yesterday and read that playlist! Think some you'd only get away with at an 'oldies' orientated night these days but others would stand up anywhere.

Easy -

Gene Toones

Cecil Washington

Court Davis..

You've got two list's going above. I've chosen them from that second list. That first list is even more difficult to choose from..

Jayne.x.

Not a bad list.

I wonder what the equivelent list would be from RW. Probably not appreciated as much by this site, but Footsee has its place in History I suppose.

Ed

..nice one....Tabs.....Delxxx

william powell - heartache souvenirs, havnt heard this for years awesome!!

russ

Totally agree, probably cause its super rare isn`t it? Think it was bobby jason-all these things-c/up wasn`t it?

I agree it's a Top playlist but this was never WIGAN as the masses who made in the No 1 venue in the 70's would see it. Mark @ Funkyfeet.

No, it's better from what I've been told!.. a lot more newies in there than I would have imagined..

But this was basically the playlist for the final two years that the Casino was open though....Delxxx

I stand corrected...

The list from the above book was Richards 'fave' plays from Wigan, not his last!....

The Adventures 'Easy Baby'

The Volcanos 'The Laws of Love'...

These two from his Va-Va period of course. Must say though that The Adventurers' stunning intro definitely benefitted from Wigan's better accoustics! (Strange to recall also that the Volcanos instrumental side got an almost equal number of plays at the time, huh?) Happy days!

True, but just look at what they're missing. Imagine hearing these as Newies!!

This period must rate as wigans finest IMO for quality.
