Yes ,you’re correct ,demo and issue look the same apart from the promotion copy type

I’ve only ever seen the styrene demo release emulating out of Detroit .

I think it’s a case of one up man ship from the DJs to out do the other DJs ,a fear of emptying the dance floor from both the promotors and DJs in the bigger venues ,all records were new once ,I’ve seen the floor empty at The Mecca and Wigan ,you just need to have faith in some sounds .

I thought this was superb ,many thanks Joan

Excellent article ,thanks to all who contributed

Many thanks Mick ,I was obviously given the wrong info ,Cheers Eddie

Bob Wilson - Strings A Go Go on SG ,the flip” Love Symphony “ is supposed to be a Servicemen backing track ,does anyone know which Servicemen track it is ? Many thanks …

Dave McAleer was the Pye promotion guy responsible for The Javells and Pye Disco Demand label

Yes fantastic Rick ,a great double header

I bought that at Wigan on the strength of that B & S review .The magazine was a friends ,as I didn’t start buying it until ‘72,

Thanks John ,some really interesting memories there .Did you mention to The Diplomats / Skull Snaps about seeing them ,when we saw them at Cleethorpes?

Many thanks Chalky ,that’s great That’s great to see ,many thanks for your help

Ok,no worries .I think I’ll buy the book anyway .

That’s sounds like the one ,are you able to scan it ? Many thanks

Not sure if this has been mentioned,but the title of the Joni Wilson track is a very clever take on a Hertz car advert titled “Let Hertz Put You In The Drivers Seat “ .Genius from George Clinton and co …

Yes I thought that too ,one of the other “ secret sounds “ was Tommy Sears - Get Out ,which compared to the other 2 ,is still under the radar .

To be fair ,Hold Back The Night was massive at Wigan ,played by John Vincent off the new Zing album .The tune was only previously known as the instrumental Scrub Board ,from The Torch era etc

Exactly ,albums like Hard Core Poetry and Madame Butterfly are great examples of 70’s Soul at its best .

Fantastic recollections David ,yes I’ve got Keith’s book ,I must re read your stories in it .Thanks for sharing your memories ,an inspiring read .

Thanks David ,must have been fantastic to have actually witnessed those days .Did you realise how special it was at the time ? Many thanks....

Thanks Chalky and Mike ,it’s not the articles you’ve posted up ,good as they are .The search goes on , thanks for your help.

I’ve been checking here and other places ,but haven’t seen it yet John .I remember reading a friends copy years ago .
