I do remember it being played at Wigan, probably around 1975, may have been John Vincent, also remember hearing Mighty Joe Drake "Try, Try, Try" (Kapp) around the same time.

I think that I have mentioned this before but Steve Vickers from Burnage in Manchester had a Sam Williams demo for many years and used to put it on his sales list from time to time for £3:00. He could never sell it in the mid '70's.....it just wasn't quite the right sound for that time????

Well I have owned one, sold one, been with Dave Withers when he found two in a load of Rock Roll/ Doo Wop stuff....you had to know what you were looking for as this was after the counterfeits that came from Simon via Russ in the middish 1970's...Mel Britt, Ernest Mosely, Velvet Satins etc. Rod Shard and Alex Jones also came across the St. Louis pressing in the 90's. I have therefore seen both the original pressings. What was the question?

I remember the reference was "double dimple". I flogged mine to Mick Smith twenty years ago....he will still have it I think.

I still have some old Martin Koppel lists: Nolan Chance "Just Like The Weather" demo £4:00; issue £2:00. Michael & Raymond RCA issues £1:50, I got a Masqueraders "How" for £4:00 off him back then, at the time it was all they were worth I suppose?

Yes.....you are right, 100% correct, sorry!

I would say 1975....judging by King Sporty; Valentino and R.B. Freeman.

That is very funny....you posted it over 5 hours ago.....and not one of the usual humour devoid gang have posted anything. Fascinating!

The "C" word.....as in Carrier Bag?!!!

This is my stab at humour...........what is a thread about "Bags" doing in All About The Soul anyway? What's, 'a troll'?(sic)

To keep this thread a bit more balanced and reduce the carbon footprint.....lets ditch the bags and talk bike panniers. You could have fun packing your left and right containers. Yee har..... saddle bags.......what about those then, Hombres!?

That's great................protect those records.............................on the move....................................peace of mind..................................there were only 10 significant years in the 20th Century.

Yes exactly, it is a self reinforcing pretense of significant truth........................didn't people carry records around in bags before 1990 then? I used an old gasmask case................

Please................I am trying to offer a practical solution for some of our image conscious moovers 'n' shakers!

Here you are lads, just the job: https://www.bin-shop.co.uk/taylor-continental-wheeled-bin-1280-litre-capacity&currency=GBP&language=en?gclid=CM6yoMjRzr8CFSjpwgodtBAACw .

A "record bag"....ffs! Whatever happened to a bag with some records in it? ....a record bag...... Christ!!!

Sorry to be so out of touch, but WTF is a record bag?

I cannot answer you question definitively, but by the summer of 1974 the line up consisted of Russ, Kev, Richard, Keith Minshull, John Vincent and Martyn Ellis playing "oldies" in the main room. Mr. M's wasn't open then, just The Beachcomber downstairs in the building complex, before and after the main event....and the allnighter didn't start until 2 a.m. I hope this is helpful, sorry if it isn't.....all the best.

Nearly there Frank....the word "could" should be replaced by 'isn't'!!!! What next Joey Dee and The Starlighters compilation, Gary Lewis and The Playboys tunes for American teens of the early '60's, a Foundations or Hot Chocolate anthology???

The 'Dig Deeper' footage of Paul Sindab performing "Do What You Wanna Do" is very impressive, brilliant....great record, great Northern, great memories...thanks.

"Rosemary, What Happened"- Richard 'Popcorn' Wylie- (Karen).

Sounds like what it is, an average run of the mill 60's record......that's all......nowt special!

Like I say, Richard Searling lent it to me in the mid 70's, I think when he was doing Ashton-under-Lyne Tiffs. If I remember correctly he also had stuff like Difosko "Sunshine Love" and that thing on Dover/Tailgate? "Bases Are Loaded", which I also borrowed.

Richard Searling had a copy of it in the mid 1970's, I think he had got it from Soul Bowl.
