Al Williams
That's not a jump. It's a pronounced guitar chord/scale . I just listened and listened again. The snare drum is on every beat, therefore it's hard to distinguish , but listen carefully, the first four beats (one bar) are bang on,the first beat of the second bar is where I'm assuming the 'skip' is? it doesn't miss a beat, what you hear is an emphasised 'pluck' on a string, making it sound like a recording or pressing error That's my theory and I'm sticking to it..... Fabulous record though

Probably Get My A%&e Kicked For This
looking at the responses here... general concencus is that folk hate it (me included) . if so, why does a dance floor light up each and every time this dreadful 'house' tune gets played at ANY venue ? the last month, i've heard it 5 times at least, usually twice in a session....... but back to the question , i've no idea, sorry

Weekly Poll - Last Purchase Format Wise ?
I have just purchased: Isley Bros , that's the way love is WDJ , what a tune! Third world - journey to addis (LP) , a fantastic album, from the finest uk reggae outfit bar none . Their version of 'now that we've found love' is outstanding. Replaced a long lost copy, well pleased

How Bad Was Wigan, Really
on my hand full of visits to station road. i distinctly remember good tunes played. this is maybe because the apparently 'pop' days had disappeared, so it was back to good quality tunes (opinion of course) there was no mistaking the class music of the time. we had a good eclectic mix from memory. Will Collins, Lester Tipton, Fluffy Falana, Vicky Baines, Bunny Sigler (follow your heart), Wilbur Walton Jnr, Skip mahoney etc. none of these to my ears are what you call "Wigan white pop", they're a fair soulful mix from 2 different decades. The toilets were shitty, the walls were shabby, the place was falling down, but there is no mistaking the excitement, the adventure, the travelling and the mates. believe me, for a 17 yr old who didnt drive, gettting there from Grantham on 4 or 5 occassions was a trek, but im pleased i was a small part of it.
