Was that photo in your avatar taken at St leonards On Sea?

Nah, thats a pretty dodgy bootleg, the original is purple with a great cartoon of a 'sassy kitten' on it - the record labels words not mine

How come?

All in 77 I think Pete - maybe one in early 78

I didn't, but thanks Wendy

Cleethorpes I think...love that as well

Thats where I first heard it, I never went to the Mecca except for an alldayer, never went to Cleethorpes or St Ives, was only ever interested in going to Wigan and couldn't bear to miss a week to be honest

I remember buying this 3 times at Wigan - £8, £8 and £10. Loved it back then, haven't had one since.

Summer In The Parks is brilliant too. One of my favourite Wigan records.

Honestly - I've got a copy here which I've had for years and years - I think it's on one of my podcasts too - great record

I really like Bobby Franklin!

You just described my fantasy

Why would you want to see the thread closed. Honestly, sometimes it's like being at school on here. Who cares if it's gone over 1000 posts, at least it's been interesting.

The sleeve was a lot better than the record

Yeah it does.

I'm susprised anyone ever made it to the last 30 seconds

18 posts and already patronising the regulars

Ah that may well be it. thanks

But people can only be paid if the records sell or get airplay, can't they?

It was definitely the Joanie Sommers record but sung in French I think - seem to remember it was a Belgian only release but I can't remember the artist or label. I didn't imagine this, did I?

Still don't make it any good though...I used to request Green Door, look at me now

I quite liked it but the recording quality is terrible, would like to hear a good recording

Why does it bother you so much what he does or does not do, you seem obsessed by the man.

They weren't all great tunes back then though. The Petals - You can't close the windows to your heart. Need I say more. Yes, I do need to say more. Cack.
