Catacombs stamped records
Reading through this it suggests that Epitome Of Sound was known prior to Soussans pitched up "Moses Smith" version, which would have been mid 74 when it hit the Casino. Paul

JMAuction - 08/09/2021 - Results!
I believe the Crow was owned by Dave Godin who used to loan it to Ian Levine at times. 75 seems about right.

The Bootleg "everybody" Sells As An Original
Turning the topic in its head a bit, I bought a Moses Smith GATS for 50p in 1974, knowing it was a boot. Moving on 30 years, I was pricing my records up to sell them and using Manships Boot guide I found out Moses was an original!

Northern Soul Pool Party??
Found it Blues And Soul 113 dated July 6th 1973. Just noticed by the time the issue had come out, the event had happened!

Northern Soul Pool Party??
From what I remember, it was Market Drayton, and advertised as Bar B Q and splash. I remember the ads in B&S. Summer of 73 and definitely ISC. It's funny, I can't remember what I did yesterday, but remember an advert from a magazine 47 years ago! Paul

Released Northern Soul Cassettes
I bought Motown Memories Vol 1 on cassette when it came out. The non stop one with 6X6, little Darling etc. One of the best compilations ever!

Lorraine Chandler on the BBC
Unfortunately not a documentary, but did anyone watch the near impossible quiz, Only Connect last week. A music question about what links the following tracks. They played Lorraine Chandler You only Live Twice. The link was rejected James Bond themes. Paul

Wigan Casino Forgotten Spins
I don't think this has been mentioned, but it used to be mentioned in the adverts in B&S, and I certainly remember it being played round 74. The Tikis, Stop Look And Listen. Paul

The Records That Nobody Likes
Sorry for another slightly negative thread, after Pete's "Most hated" one being resurrected. I look at FB when the a lot of the same tracks are posted, and people claim they are their absolute favourites and I just don't get them at all. I'll mention 3 Cajun Hart Got To Find A Way Rufus Lumley Stronger Than Me Mike McDonald God Knows I get why they may have been played in the lean years, but people seem to absolutely love them! There, that's off my chest! Paul

The Gloria and Towanda tunes are different versions/mixes aren't they? Paul

The big venue
Didn't it happen at the Queens Hall in Leeds in 74? Never again!!!! Paul

The most hated song on the scene. Is this it?
Was there a version by Kenny Bernard, or are you mistaking the Pye Disco Demand release with Leon Young on one side, and Kenny Bernard, What Love Brings on the other.?

Pictures of Us
I've never seen any pictures of me at the Casino or any other 70s venues. But these were taken on holiday in 1973 about a month before my first all nighter at VaVas. I looked quite innocent then!

White Wigan patch with green trim.
Out of interest, does number 22 have your name in it? Back in the olden days, I borrowed what I'm sure was number 22 off one of the Ormskirk guys(I even remember who). It was either taken off me or I lost it, he wasn't best pleased. Paul

Richard Searling Book - Setting The Record Straight - News
Number 398. Just flicked through it and on page 103 found a picture of my sister with "George from Hull with friend". I've still never found a photo of me. I must have avoided the cameras!
