SHEFFSOUL

maybe not big but certainly popular..it appears on quite a few of my live tapes from that dateline...

most definitely..a northern spin heard in most youth clubs '72..fairly easy to get and popular even before that..Wheel era probably

pretty big in '74 i loved it.. still do..alongside shane martin,bobby jason, larry santos,td valentine...

hmm..all about timing..was played quite a bit later on..75 ish...

think K Gee was a Torch spin..certainly pre Wigan...

wow..and funnily enough i remember on one of my visits to the Highland room..prob late '74 or even 75..i heard 'thumb a ride'.. a little surprised (but glad nonetheless) as it was then an oldie and mecca policy was on the more groundbreaking stuff..wonder if it was the emi?.prob not...

yep..but in the case of the Gallop..there was no vocal until Anderson released the Satiron disc..

has anyone a contact or info for attending this event this coming weekend?..thanks in advance

does he remember them?..i ve a very vague recollection..wonder if they were associated with Soussan?

yep..i thought that..but sometimes i don't know when your serious or not..and btw..wondered what 'one wonderful moment' (Shakers) would sound like as an instr...

no argument..i'm sure you have loads of instrs in your collection..and i love some that other would call dire..( i still play here at Gracelands the first doctored version of Footsee..love it..) and unless you were about during the days when lots of instrs were played and many in preference to the vocal..i think most people would dismiss them..which is a pity..so...greatest of all time for me..BOK TO BACH, BREAKAWAY,AFTERNOON RHINO, DETROIT LANDAPPLES..if you've got those you dont need anymore

NO..but it infers that..

well..c'mon..that pretty well sez it...

FFS!....hey mate if you think that Bari track is the only decent instr...you need a spell in rehab..and recommend the instr version of the Carstairs to kick things off!!

never heard this before..lot going on..would have been tailor made for Wigan..i like it..

wow..that is amazing...i left the allniter scene early 78 so never heard that track out..but pep/max Catacombs played some fantastic stuff before anyone else got a sniff..

thats pants..i love your podcasts and to think people are profiting from these makes me mad..and how many buggers ever contributed to you when your internet costs were actually costing you..grrr..some times it just needs to be said...

Dalton boys?

i'm sure..but there is a northern soul connection albeit very thin..and then once a rumour gets started..you know the drill...

thats what i was thinking...

i have a 45 by a larry clinton & orch...very early late 50's early 60's..

check out this Russ records list from june/july 1974..he names classical gas as a secret sound...

thanks Phil, that answers my question..i was a swan regular in 74 when i lived there..and spent my day off in Syd Booths..remeber DB well..i knocked around with Marilyn Dale who later married Sid Hopper, also 'Yank', 'Arnie, and few others who's names i forget..great days...

Yes Ian, i remember the concert and have some photos from it..i was wondering who spun it first..as i said DB was quick out of the trap..

just listening to the excellent pt2 Torch podcast by Colin Curtis. Was surprised to see the inclusion of 'Hold back the night'..i thought my memory was playing tricks, so i checked the net. Sure enough,as i thought the track first saw a release on the 'Zing' album in 1975 about 2 years after the Torch closed..so, dredged the memory again..and the first time i ever heard the vocal (to the 1972 released and Torch sound scruboard) was 1975 at Wigan Casino, more specifically Mr M's, spun by Mansfield DJ Derek Banner.He had the 'Zing album on import, a recent release..was anyone else spinning this or was DB the first..i know it gravitated to the main room shortly after, but was not rare enough to sustain its popularity..anyone else shed further light?
