Brilliant forward thinking venue , went there loads of times ,usually on my own before rushing back to get to work on Saturday mornings , some fantastic memories , the tapes were great as well .As Russ said , with Uptown Down South in Newbury running at the same time there was plenty of Soul satisfaction at this time .Best,Eddie

Thanks for letting us know about this Kav , I've signed up for the download , although I'm a little too young to have attended The Wheel , I realise what an incredible influence he must have been on the early Soul scene , and indeed other scenes as well .Look forward to learning more about this legendary guy .Best,Eddie

Thanks everyone , they were both only 30p each , in original sleeves and practically mint as well , great eh ? Many thanks ,Eddie[ ps Isn't both "recovery "and "leave it in the hands of love" great ? ]

I found UK copies of Rescue me and Recovery today on Gold writing UK Chess , did they come out on silver writing as well ? Many thanks for any help ,Best,Eddie

One of the greatest records ever , though when I bought my USA copy blind , after a recommendation from Budgie [southampton ] in Wigan record bar for £5 , a guy asked me what I'd bought and replied " Why have you bought that slow s**t " !! Guess we're not all the same ....... Best,Eddie

If you can give me a few days to get on my main computer ,I'll send you a scan Dave , which side do you want ? Best,Eddie

Love runs out /The Duck - Willie Hutch [ Dunhill ] , Darrell Banks -Open the door / Our Love is in the pocket [ Revilot ] .Best,Eddie

The thing is with these acetates , most of the top DJ's in the 70's traded them with each other , and nobody seemed to mind, it just meant you got to hear records that you wouldn't otherwise hear if you only went to Wigan [ me ] and didn't get to hear Sam or Ginger's big Cleethorpes sides , and vice versa .This practise kept Stafford fresh for years with new sounds , the DJ's would make a certain sound big , then do a dub , sell the original and buy a fresh potential biggie .My first acetates were The Drifters " Gotta pay " / Dena Barnes and Edward Hamilton " Baby don't " / Tobi Legend off Steve Glover in B'ham market .Used to buy some off a guy in Wigan record bar including Little Anthony /Lou Pride about £6 I think .Didn't they smell great as well ? !!! Best,Eddie

Right on baby has the same backing as Denise's own " Too late to check your trap " as well .Best,Eddie

Fantastic , totally uplifting , many thanks for posting this up .Best,Eddie

f I can't believe I came in at the death and got 2 of the current faves.Only thought of The Elgins because I heard it on radio 2 today and thought how great it still sounded .Feel bad about Rod's Carstairs choice tho ' as I do love it and wish I hadn't sold my pink Red Coach copy .Best,Eddie

I've got Jackie Day EP with picture cover on W&G NZ , Before it's too late , Oh ,What heartaches and the 2 flip sides.Best,Eddie

Has Diane Jenkins " Towaway Zone " [ Creative Funk ] been mentioned yet ? Quite odd sounding at the time it was played at The Mecca , and how about Nat Fross " Too many skeletons in the closet " a small time Mecca spin , which although funky , sounds great now . Best,Eddie
