I had no idea they would be filming on the night ,though I feature in the dancing and walking across the dance floor with my Nighter bag and sheepskin .I remember the first record I heard that night was Danny Williams - Whose Little Girl Are You ,and also recall buying The Moods - Rainmaker on Wand .The footage was used in the film Soulboy ,I received a payment from the film for using the footage of me ,which was nice .The music was dubbed on afterwards ,Sidras Theme ,Rosemary and Judy Street are 3 I remember .It commercialised the scene for a while ,but ultimately greater days were to come musically from ‘79 onwards .

Incredible film ,some brilliant bittersweet stories and wonderful records

Sounds really good

Do you know if they were “ from the vaults “ or recent recordings Chalky? The backing tracks sound identical to me

I’m not sure if it was just a download ,it’s on YouTube I think

Jimmy McFarland also cut a good version of Bob Relf’s - Blowing My Mind To Pieces ,wonder what the back story on that was ?

Great info Greg

Wouldn’t be suprised if George or Adam had it earlier ,with their track record of finding sounds

I thought that too ,though didn’t want to say anything in case someone else found it initially .

Yes it’s excellent ,went to the cinema to see it

Did a local disco with a friend in Banbury ,about 1976 ,which ended at midnight .Then drove the 150 miles to Wigan ,got there about 3am ,remember hearing “ Cool Off “ and “ Ton Of Dynamite “ as we put our coats in the cloakroom ..

Was playing this album yesterday,this is a key track isn’t it

Very sad news Marlena cut some great records over a long period of time .This is a current fave .Rest in peace x

Always love a record finding story ,and that was a great one ,well done Dave

Glad you enjoyed it ,the friends mum piece made me laugh 😆

Sammy Lee was actually played by Russ at Wigan in the early years especially

I think this is pretty rare on a stock copy : Nella Dodds - Honey Boy / I Just Gotta Have You - Wand .I bought a stock copy at Wigan for £8 in the late 70’s ,before selling at Keele in the mid 90’s .A few demos out there ,but very few issues .

Yes ,good shout MGM ...

Yes ,heat the oil for about 15 minutes before adding the YP batter ....

I do ,Brown sauce with sausages

No I was 23 and living in a flat .Wigan Casino was about a year away from closing and a lot of records weren’t that expensive.I had a budget of about £20 a week for records .

Yes £12 in 1980

Superb record ,but John Anderson had lots of copies early 80’s .They’ve all disappeared into collections now sadly

From the 60’s ,Patrice Holloway - Love And Desire / Ecstasy - Capitol .Two wonderful sides
