Just picked this up for a buck at the local Record Show, any real value?

Played it and it sounded pretty discoey? John Manship has it in his last book for a tenner?

Did this not come out on two labels? was it LINDEE & GAMMA? think one of them is canadian can`t remember wich one though

As I am in Canada I am going to assume Gamma is the Canadian one although nothing on the label.

LINDEE was the canadian one - Massive record in its day

How could you call this discoey Kev?

Was a monster in its day - Classsic Record for the northern scene because of the clap after the guitar in the same way as bernie williams.

Very popular record in its day '75? played at Mecca and Wigan, But we all thought it could have been an Abba cover up

All I meant was when I played it yesterday I just thought it sounded a bit more discoey than when I remembered it from years ago, when it was, as you all say, a monster.

Heres the Italian LP longer version than the 45, don't know if it got a 45 release in Italy

Cheers Paul

Regularly attended HLC and never heard it

Absolutely brilliant record takes me back to the St Ives All nighters when this was as big as you could get , and you're right Alan, no sign of disco in there

By the way, both Gamma and Lindee are Canadian issues - no US release as far as I know

First played early 76 - actually bought this on my first ever visit to the Casino - dropped like a stone almost immediately. LinDee copies came after Gamma

In the same handful of 45's was The Mighty Clouds Of Joy - Time - ABC Dunhill, is this known or played? It bloody should be - what a belting 70's dancer.

So you were buying modern soul back in the day then Pete

Certainly remember buying it as a new import Kev, probably from Graham Warr's place in the Oasis, Brum - but that'd be before your time, you young sprog!

I sometimes give it a spin at Annesley ( played it last saturday actually ) I think there was about 3 dance to it but it was early on ( 8:30 ish )

Never thought of it back then mate, this was a driving uptempo dancer, I bought loads of records of that ilk back then - creative source, johnny williams, east coast connection etc. Love 'em.

Brilliant record, but I've seen it empty a full floor on more than one occasion over a 30 year period (and not just when I've played it, either).

It might just be one of those records that will never have its 'time'....

East Coast Connection......now there's a chooooon

There were a glut of Canadian tunes played at ST IVES all at the same time.Charity Brown/Mary Saxton/Francine McGee/Stratavarious and this one.I think all of these records originally targeted the Canadian Disco Market

What was Stratavarious? I remember the name but can't remember much else about it

What was Stratavarious? I remember the name but can't remember much else about it

Stratavarious a big record for yours truly at the Wirrina. lent it to Smudge 12 months ago, never seen it since...Polydor I think??? nice record actually.

Could it be I Got Your Love on US Roulette ?

Gamma Canadian ???? no chance,looks European to me

Is it an instrumental ? If anyone has a sound clip I would be grateful

Gamma Canadian ???? no chance,looks European to me

Nope, it's Canadian - the print is also in French due to dual language, with it being sold in French speaking Quebec

I noticed a copy for sale on UK Ebay, Gamma 45.

Sure I remember Todays People being spun at Notts Oddfellows 83ish and still being a massive stomper - totally old school Northern Soul !!
