How Many 45's Could You Buy For 2K?
Around 2000, or 1/4 (ish) of Eddie Parker. or 400 fiver records or 200 tenner records. Think your question might have been a bit too "open ended"

Don't think hearing different versions in the one night would bother me that much, so long as they were as different as say John Bishop Trio and Little Sonny's take on WITW.

Wigan Rejects
I'd go with you as it being pre Wigan, remember Barry Tasker playing it at The Pendulum and saying that they had a few in Global-- probably in the space between Torch closing-Wigan opening

To everybody that I may of unwittingly confused. The title is not the question, nor is the answer 42.

As interesting, or predictable, as this has become. Thank you to the less than 5% that answered the bloody question posed.

I would have thought that Mir A Don was first, seeing as it is significantly more expensive...

interesting-I heard that first in '72 and it was certainly not covered up then.

I wasn't going to be drawn into this part of the debate, but.... Your take on the Soul part is probably going to differ depending on where and when you first found the music.. I was a mainsteam(ish) Soul fan first and kept hearing things that were a little different to that and wanted to hear more-saw the adverts for The Pendulum, went and had my head blowed off...so to me the Soul part was the most important element (yes, I did listen to and to some of the Pop stuff--duidn't we all???) It was called Northen Soul by Dave Godin in his shop to differentiate the type of SOUL northerners wanted to buy from the funkier type stuff coming into vogue in the SOUTH. If you joined as a Post punk new wave Modernist, you take on the desirabilty on the Soul part of Northern Soul may be different to mine.

How Bad Was Wigan, Really
As I went EVERY week from 73-78 the derision was not from me I was reiterating comments laid here and elsewhere that it was not all that... and yes, I would agree made by folk who, I believe, never went. I was hoping to see some of the GREAT tunes that were played, that we've forgotten about. Where's Mr. Freeman when you need him

How Bad Was Wigan, Really
I thought I'd asked the question in English... Obviously not ! Instead of knocking the old girl, I was hoping to see some of the GREAT stuff that was played there
-

So, we see it time and time again. Wigan was crap. They played a lot of Pop Crap ( Didn't they all??) So, how how about a defintive list of the GREAT stuff played at the old Place ??
