Garethx Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Jimmie Reed Jr. may have got the odd spin far earlier than Stafford: it was quite a known collectors record.

Guest in town Mikey Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Two Plus Two-I'm sure/Look around Sy Hightower-I know your leaving me Kings Of Soul-Is your love for me An unnamed mate bought this for £1 at that massive car boot outside Bristol a few years back. Didnt like it, and then sold it to another unnamed mate for £20!!! WHY oh WHY didnt he offer it to me Which reminds me Man O Man was stratospherically popular around 2000 wasnt it.

Garethx Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Both sides of the Exits had been played at various venues throughout the seventies and eighties I would guess, Mikey, although Another Sundown In Watts certainly became popular in the immediate post-Stafford period.

Guest Netspeaky Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Let's get this right Dave. You ran the No.1 all-nighter in the 80's and you can't remember when it closed? I'd hate to do a Stafford comp with you mate! Ian D That's a personal opinion, to me Morecambe was by far the better niter in terms of numbers, and is totally overlooked as a venue for some reason, even though the likes of RS was a regular there, plus some great records were first played there, Stafford has been over hyped, people who went rate it 10/10 others rated as 5/10 all depends on your view.

I only went to Morecombe once, but always think back on it as an oldies venue that did play some big tunes of the day. Rather like Leicester and Hinckley. I may be wrong, but Stafford is correctly thought of as a venue intent on breaking new tunes, I dont think Morecombe is thought of the same way?? Not knocking it, just giving you a kind of outsiders view. As I said I only went once, and can only really remember guys like Brian Rae and Dave Evison playing oldies sets.

I would agree, I have never thought of Stafford as the only club that should get props. Morcombe, 100 Club and Leicester all where great allnighter. The difference was that Stafford set out to run a totally newies room, which ran for four years, so shear logistics would say alot was played there. Also Shaun ran and advertised Morcombe as an oldies allnighter and with it's location in the North West it always was going to get big numbers. In fact I can remember several letters in mags of the time from attendees complaining about DJ's playing new stuff at an oldies allnighter. But as Russ say, positive note and this tread isn't about Stafford, but the great music played since Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
