    Oh come on, by '78 even at Wigan, it was pleated pegs and baseball shirts, The Jazz Funk boys had stupid mohair sweaters, tight jeans, sandals and flick wedge haircuts.

    Yep Pegs

    Short sleeved shirts not Baseball

    Never saw Jazz Funkers at Wigan. Unless you mean the odd one?

    The coats used to be the mark of the criminal elite in early days .I never had one I had instead a denim jacket style black leather with popper fastenings like a levi denim jacket in style.Another criminal"look",round our way was denim shirt and jeans and not bringing a bag with you.Mick Gav r.i.p  good friend from Wellingborough occasionaly would have a tesco  type bag with a spare shirt  as would others in that crew.

     

    In fact I remember meeting up with Gav and the crew one night and getting the train to Bedford for an all nighter at the Night Spot probably about 78 time,we got the nighter and outside there was a bunch of wannabe skinhead locals(quadraphenia had not long come out and the lookalike mods and skins were multiplying like rabbits on sex boast pills all over the land) they were steaming into and beating the shit out of a bunch of soulies with bags and baggie pants etc ho were waiting outside for the nighter to open.Of course Gavin,meself,Terry I think/,Danny Price and the rest of the Wellingborough lads rushed in and mincemeated the local skins who ran off up the road being pursued by us,I think I threw a steel roadsign at them as a parting gift.Well I read on soul source (one of the forums)last year I think and had to laugh as I read a desciption of the incident that said it was "A fight between local skinheads and  JAZZFUNKERS???????", at that time our lot were wearing either levi501s or narrow cut peg trousers ,Gav and Glen Stuart aand a couple of others had Oxfam type narrow lapel jackets,me my denim style leather  but I dont see how we could of been mistaken for jazzfunkers of that time.Incidentely a large group of lads stood watching from the steps as their fellow soulies were getting a kicking  must just have been a certain bunch there waiting that night before other folk arrived as I couldnt see that happening at any other soul do even these days of realative maturity and non A G A G R in our lives,people would help. 

    Haha

    Statement with tongue slightly in cheek... Hacks me off when latterday arrivals hurl flack at the earlier generation for what they wore. Towards the end of Wigan, and despite the many great 60's records emerging, the Jazz Funk brigade were steering the dress-code along High Street fashion lines, hardly an underground cult anymore. You're right, the Wigan DJ's tended to dress ordinarily with the exception of Dave Evison and maybe a couple of other latecomers. Don't recall Gethro much after the mid 70's but he was always sharply dressed. At Soul On The Square on Saturday, there were plenty of lads and lasses dressed the part, kitted out to dance and a world apart from the students present.

    Spencers is a company that made clothing. You are referring to high waister Baggies? In 81 we bought Zoots from them as in the real world Jazz Funk was ruling.

    Baggies were over around 78/79

    Just a thought

    The shot from behind, that's showing about 3/4 of the dancefloor, after the floor ends at the back there was like 20 feet or so of carpet and then the back bar where the records were sold, directly underneath where the guy took the photo from

    More Like 14ft or less

    The sides had 20ft

    How the hell is this not massive??

    Thought would be good to do a little thread for records that have all the right ingredients to go massive but just never have.

    My first offering is a UK only release on 45 that didn't sell massively, plenty of great "feel good" vibe, danceable, right tempo, builds well, fantastic, singer and musicians. Not a an expensive rarity appreciated but personally think it's worthy of dance floor action.

    May be that album sales stunted it??

     

    Holding back? out of key? and speeded up? and almost mickey mouse?

    Been bitten myself Ian prob most of us have over the years.Those 70s lookalike boots,Alexander Patton,Billy Prophet,Mel Britt,Young Hearts have fooled many over the years.

    Alexander Patton actually exists with a 2 line title as an original. With the Daisy in the run out groove. The boot is missing the Daisy. I had this in my collection and flagged it up to get the bootleg guide fixed. Its a rare one to find and im sure has been sold cheap previously because of the guide error
