we all know it as one of THE classics but who played it to the masses first read that this is on the mecca didnt pick up first but wigan had it any there at the time like to recall the events?

interesting to pick on kev roberts discovering this in 77 (ref the middlesboro allniter thread) in 78 it was one of richards searlings biggest newies covered as sharon scott.. know it came out on desriny in 79 (ish) anyone else throw any light on this ? also whats the original on ie colour.,.my late friend nial from coventry had it on a light blue issue reissues were on an orange issue still a good record imo regards mark

====== dave rimmer has plugged this for quite a while and imo must be partly responsible for its elevation in price. dave thorley certainly played it first at stafford.(or broke it first) regards mark

==== CAN REMEMBER WHEN I TURNED DOWN A COPY OF IVE GOT SOMETHING OF VALUE FOR £12 ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO NEVER SEEN ANTHER COPY

===== 2 pressings of detroit shakers - help me 1 on counsel - which was the outsiders (US group) lonely man from the LP (same album as backwards upside down) 2nd on soulcat - this was the rainbows on capitol regards

==== can t listen to this as at work but are u on about funky train,,,john vincent play from 75...on columbia

==== court davis - weak?? you must be in a minority if u think this record is weak(i may be wrong) absolute class 45 imo

==== if u take away the tarzan bit and jungle effects its not a bad record ive had the roulette demo for ages and still play at home occasionally still want this track on a live wigan tape if anyones got one? thanks mark ==== hi steve got this on cd for u if u want one had an issue of this on mgm but now have the demo i like personally but not in vogue these days,,

==== i played this at one the worcester all niters and the sound quality is dreadful...had to use the gain on the decks to make it play decent...
