Remember one night(may have been 2nd or 3rd nighter--when thee was a massive queue outside waiting to get in. The DS turned up with sniffer dogs and very slowly and painfully when down the line and if the dogs even blinked they would pull that person out My mate pecker (now in Oz)who come with us had a load of gear on him and went back fives paces in the queue and stuffed them down his sock then the 'horrors' kicked in and he went five more spaces back and shoved em round his b*llox . Eventually ended up hiding in the van and then fcuked off back about 2.00 and left us there As was mentioned before, great late hose st sounds and sounds that were to be staple when Wigan first opened. Did I dream this-but did it have a bloody massive car park??

Well what a fcuking interesting read My misses has just checked me pulse to see if I'm still alive--been glued here for half hour or so Great stuff Pete

Great stuff --I do enjoy a good rummage at Les's . Last time I went in I was in the queue for the deck behind a trance DJ with his 12 inch and a hippy type grasping what looked like a 'Floyd' album SWONS or what

Just noticed this--a 'unreleased' album on President. Am not familiar with any of the tracks on it Anyone shed any light on this https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SOUND-OF-SOUL-PROMO-UNRELEASED-ALBUM-PRESIDENT-RECORDS_W0QQitemZ160393273431QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20100109?IMSfp=TL100109223001r7899

ooh ta for that --great stuff. Check out the miniscule little ridges surrounding the label which most British if not all had back then. Fcuk me I'm sad

Hiya folks-reviving this thread again from a few years back. Have checked as much as I can--- Manships Guide etc and tried to check on Soulville matrix numbers but to no avail Its says dj copy not for sale,white label ,same flip, and 101-A on one side and 101-B on t'other. it has in brackets (S-3661) written underneath. I am aware of different variations of label design for differing reasons etc --but was this one example or is it 100% a boot. Any help greatly appreciated as always

Fantastic scans lads ,well done ---great to see both Levi and Soloman--Beautiful Day. Its been far too long since I've seen those It was always great to see the year written on the British labels. It must be and age thing cos we used to talk about year of release when comparing British stuff Now in keeping with the 'Beautiful' theme, wouldn't it be great if some kind soul could post a label scan of Jimmy Thomas Beautiful Night on Parlophone...

Its a sales(and a mighty fine one at that) not a wants---young man!!!!. Keep off them antibiotics and I'll see ya thursday

wow,wow and thrice wow!

ahhhh ..as I type nice one Colouring is err somewhat different---oh well

Hey up shute--dunna go confusing me now mate lol .....seriously though. I bet the 'Rules of Love' ones are rare aren't they?

Cheers Chalky--- yeah I know I shoulda done a search before posting

Morning folks Can anyone enlighten me on the Volcanoes orig version of this please Is the Arctic original titled ---(Its Against) The Laws of Love on light blue label with dark blue writing??. I have heard there was a 'version' withe the title 'Rules of Love' ?? If anyones got a label scan that would be great Many thanks Jez

Thats the baby! It transpires that it is the original. i hope so now --cos I just got one lol. Nevertheless by Lee Andrews is on Lost Night and is a boot/reissue----I think!!!!!!!. It has got me thinking though, now Toad has mentioned another--wonder what the definitive originals on this label are ???

Cheers for the info chaps. Was always apprehensive with this label ever since 197!@# and I got done up wth Candy and Kisses (81) ...Whats the other original one on this label Tim?

pm'd ya mate

..Wondered if anyone could help me on this. Was the Lee Andrews released on another label apart from Lost Nite. Reason I ask is, I seem to remember this label predominately used for re-issues/second issues and just thought this may have been an example of this. Any help much appreciated as always cheers Jez

Good call Ian Their version of 'Aint That peculiar' isn't too shabby either

Thats it mate 3 for quid around then. Stuff like the Tams, Newbeats,Mood Mosaic,Chiffons and others all brand new---it still felt like a bloody fortune though

Remove the vocals and you got a 100mph northern instrumental lol Gonna cost $12 to get it across the channel

.....and that Steve is what makes the history of this scene so compelling. Whilst we were steeped in Wheel/Torch/Cats primarily---it is fascinating that in other parts of the UK there was a 'parallel' scene at that time with regional variations on 'top sounds' of the day. I do think though it would be an absolutely mammoth task to try to collate and 'chronicle' everything. It would probably have to be done chronologically and not just based on venues because as you say--there was a lot more going on in far flung places that doesn't get mentioned but is staple to the 'roots of the scene. There is probably more 'product' out there with regards to Wigan due to its longevity and would possibly stand a better chance from an archive point of view. ....oh and how yer doing matey. Hope you and yours are well. Bumped into Stuart Garrett the other day and had a good ole chinwag.'

Bit of light hearted fun for a Sunday morning. Mind you he gets better marks for presentation . I aint actually seen a copy but it must have a release date on it https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wigans-Chosen-Few-Footsee-RARE-1968-7-VINYL-SINGLE_W0QQitemZ270518442853QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Records?hash=item3efc27db65

Hey up Malc. Our favourite 60's bundle of fun --did a cover of the Elgins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYuypZ7TwiM

...will try and rectify that. Off the New Religion album 1967---an absolute blinder from Jimmy James--I'm just a fool for you
