Cheers Tony. I think I am correct in saying it was covered as DC Blossoms though? And Butch has been on this very site stating that AA was one of his discoveries. I have a CD made from a tape (recorded by the late Paul Fisher from South Wales) of a Butch set at the 100 Club circa 1997 where he plays it, though he doesn't announce it; so it maybe had been uncovered by then?

Wasn't Butch still playing it covered as DC Blossoms in the late 90s?

Ah! I see what you mean. I think the WDJs are also vinyl whereas the issues are vinyl and tend to play quite distorted.

I think you will find it is listed in JM's guides? It is a very well known record.

Both lo-fi, no discernable difference between them (as far as I could tell). Gator is genuinely tricky to find and prices do vary wildly for both labels.

Helen Curry - great 45, never had the recognition it deserves and not easy to find, especially in that condition. A steal at 50 quid.

It's a decent example of recently manufactured pop, made in a style deliberately to appeal to the Northern Soul crowd. I'm sure it would sound great on Steve Wright in The Afternoon. I neither hate it or like it, particularly.

I thought Pearlean Grey was a Torch oldie? Certainly one of the pre-Wigan clubs.

Thanks for clarifying Kev. That is genuinely interesting.

Cheers guys. What about Seven Souls and Vernon Greene?

Of course I stand to be corrected as I wasn't there and I bow deferentially to those that were, especially someone who was actually shaping the playlists of the time, but I really did think that these 3 were a lot, lot later than 73-75? I always thought these 3 were late Wigan/Stafford era biggies? At least in terms of being played (I can well imagine they would have been in the playbox back in 73-75)?

"Ali Shuffle" / "I'm Addicted To Your Love" PLease PM. Thanks.

Some say his politics are terrifying..........and he thinks Star Wars is a documentary....................

You're right Jaco, that Box thread was not directly about the oldies scene per se, but it was quite a revealing insight into how ferociously commercially competitive that scene has become. Very unedifying.

Maybe not Jaco. Take your point there mate.

The threads Simon refers to provide all the analysis needed.

Nice!

My copy was in good nick. Not EX or VG++, but definitely a strong VG+

Just gone for $650 on Ebay. Paid almost exactly the same for mine off Ebay a few months ago.

Please PM if you have one you are willing to part with please. Thanks.
