After Reading The Five Comments Above ! , I Think Anyone Who Did Not Know DAVE Will Have An Insight To A Great Person . He Will Leave A " Space " In Our Precious Soul Scene And Be In Our Memories , In My Mind He Will Always Be Danci'n ( REALLY DANCI'N ) " Down Them Stairs " At WHITWORTH St . ( Move On Up - Enter The Steeple Of Beautiful People ) R.I.P. DAVE .

The Re-Issues Of The Seventies Pressing ? Don't Have The Brilliant " Still True " On The B-Side ( So I Will Definitely Be Keeping Mine ) As an original Is Out Of The Question !! .

If You Recolect The Name Of That Venue -Let Me Know ( Ten Minutes Away From " EXPANSIONS Shop ) ?? Where Dean Always Had The " Low Down On Any New & Interesting Products ! .

A Very sad Loss To The " Manchester Soul Scene " And The Many People He Had Influenced During His Time . Memories Of " Parkers - South " And His Nite - in the Clothing/Tailoring Area Of Ducie Street . ( Can't Recal The Venue's Name ) Help ! .

I Recall Controversy At The " Twisted wheel " in 1969 When First Playing " Garland Greene - Jealous Kind Of Fella " U.K. M.C.A. - Soul Bag , It Was Considered Too Modern By Some ? , But It Was Classed As " Crossover " When Played At The Highland Room( Blackpool ) Early seventies .

" Speakes Volumes " the Slat Lad (HYDE ) .

Johnny Wyatt - For Sure As It Was My Copy That " Les Cokel " Played ! , I Covered It With a Center From The Twisted Wheel " Admit One Free Of Charge " Sunday Afternoon Ticket . Several Other Dj's Borowed It That Niter & All Were Quizing " Who Is Singing And What label " ???? That's Why It's Covered Up ! . I Had Also Scratched Out PT 109 In The Dead Wax ( Both Sides )

" Judy In Disguise " Of Course ,Plus Live On That little Stage ! , The Amboy Dukes , Also Performing The " Polydor U.k. Issued " B-side " Who's Fooling Who ". They Also Played The U.S.A Issue Of " Who's Fooling Who " On JOTIS Cut By Arthur Conley Along With His " Where You Lead Me ( I Will Follow ) - JOTIS .

I would Consider " Run For Cover " Not As TOO SLOW , But Mid Paced ? The Fact That " Wear it on Our Face " - " There Is " - " What a Day " & " Hallelujah Baby " were all Played In The Wheel ! , I'm shure There were Import Copies Around ? ( No U.k. Issue Till 1972 ) . " Queen Of Fools - Barbara Mills " " Here She Comes -Tymes" " See You At the Go-Go- Dobie Gray " " She Blew A Good Thing - American Poets" " Twine Time - Alvin Cash & The Crawlers" " It Keeps Raining - Fats Dominoe" " Ooh Baby /All On a Summers Day - Deon Jackson " " Scratch My Back - Slim Harpo" "The Night - Dee Dee Sharp" " Any Day Now - Chuck Jackson + Percy Sledge " " Reach Out For Me - Lou Johnson " " Fighting To Win -Homer Banks " " Hey little Girl - Major Lance" " Help Me - Sonny Boy Williamson" These Tracks Make The Dells " Run For Cover " Seem Quite Fast ?? .

Purchased my copy off Les Hare ( King Bee Records ) Chorlton , around 1985/89 for £25.00 . There is nothing fuzzy about the recording ?? In Exelent condition . Dave Slater - Hyde .

Not played at the Wheel - first copy I purchased off Swish at Normanton Baths - Paid him £3.00 ! , He came back to me Two Hours later and offered me £8.00 to buy it back . Definitely after the Wheel closed it's doors .

I Recall Many Of Your Memorable Spots At " Lord Jims " And Other Venues Around ( Past & Present ) . P.s. Did We Attend " Lord Jim's " To Hear You Play " I Got The Fever " , Or Just To See The Lovely " LESLEY BROWN " ( See Dave Godin's Photo's From The Twisted Wheel ) Blues & Soul Magazine - Think It's The One With " Earl Van Dyke " On The Cover ?? . Also At The WHEEL - BRIAN 45 PHILLIPS Nicknamed - Because He Played The SHARPEES Track .

I Can Recall At The First " Twisted Wheel Revival " Nights At Whitworth Street Then Known As " ROCKIES " , They Were Playing " BABY HIT AND RUN " - The CONTOURS ! , I'm Wondering Which Clubs Played It When First Issued February 1974 ?? .

" I Got The Fever - " Was Played At Whitworth Street On The U.K MERCURY Issue ! , As GERT From " Tewkesbury Or Stourbridge ( Whichever ? ) Would Bring His Copy Up ! , Along With Graeham White ( DOCKER ) And His Copy Of " Baby Reconsider - Leon Haywood " ( Recently Purchased Off BOB CROCKER ) . I First Heard " Archie Bell & The Drells " - Here I Go again At La Ambassador Club In Bradford , Early 1972 . P.s. Towards The End Of 1970 I Took My Copy Of " Get It From The Bottom - Archie Bell & The Drells - Atlantic DEMO " For Les Cokell To Play at The Wheel Along With " Don't Pretend - The Belles - Mirwood " And I'll Try -Sam & Bill- Brunswick U.k. .
