Anyway it was £55

Why wouldn't you?

Luckily managed to get two tickets for Manchester at face value, but unbelievably annoying that as usual most are now being offered for 'resale' at double the price via the same website (Ticketmaster / Get Me In). How they are allowed to take the piss on such a massive scale is absolutely beyond me

Joan Regan 'Don't talk to me about love' (Columbia) always a funny one for me - opens up like the best record you've ever heard, then her singing knocks the wind right out of your sails. Worth it though for the intro and the instrumental section halfway through - great strings

Love David Huff 'Mary Brown' as you know Ian - rarely off my turntable last year, though maybe not immediate or black enough for some Couple from me worthy of more attention IMO, both on Jubilee:- Jimmy Ricks - The long long arm of love Don Gardner - I'm in such misery Cheers, Chris

If Paramount Four is one of the best discoveries of recent years this has to run it close Wonder why it was canned? Top notch production, strings, etc - no bargain basement recording

It does appear on that big list of Mecca spins on Colin's website though

Great responses on here - anyone add some more M's tunes? The more eclectic the better

Great stuff, thanks - a lot of Wheel / 6t's type sounds I guess. Presumably the more poppy white stuff like Spencer Davis or Frankie Valli 'Opus' would have been played in some more mainstream clubs as new releases and were revival sounds at Mr M's?

Been re-reading this excellent thread and this post stood out If you went to Mr M's what tunes do you remember always being on? What about the blue eyed stuff like Paintbox or John Fred that seems to be forgotten now? Really interesting to hear what was played Cheers, Chris.

Also Dushons ' You better think it over' is a clear re-hash of Martha & Vandellas 'Nowhere to run' - in fact you could sing nowhere to run over the top of the Dushons!

Always thought this was one of the most blatant ones - Christine Cooper 'Heartaches away my boy' quite clearly lifts the main piano / vibes riff from Supremes 'Stop in the name of love' from the previous year - surprised they got away with it

Dave, I'll have a set of 66,67,68, 71 and 72 please if still available Cheers, Chris.

What version by Jimmy Delphs - is that unreleased too?

Been wondering about this since it was on one of the first 'Soul Girl' clips - absolutely love it. Funny for them to use such an obscurity - what a tune though.

A few more from me:- 1) Arlean Brown - I am a streaker (1974 Dud Sound) - brilliant lyrics 2) Rhythm Combination & Brass - Mr Clean (MPS LP) 3) The Bamboos - Tighten up (Kay-Gee) - Keith Money spin from a couple of years ago - awesome drum break

Funny - I always thought the same about this one - Don Covay 'Money' from Super Dude 1 album (Mercury)

And if there is additional archive footage that hasn't been seen would it be possible to get access to it?

Thanks for posting this interesting clip I know this is going over old ground, but is the Wigan clip about 4 mins into the Manchester feature from a different TV programme to the one I have posted below (which I thought was from a Something Else special on different dance clubs) and if so which programme? Also if the BBC or whoever did the Manchester piece are able to pull these clips from the archives, is there additional footage that hasn't been seen? It looks more like a proper night than the Something Else one which if I remember right was filmed during non-club hours

Nice version - like the vibes near the end, but not a patch on Flowers IMO File Flowere alongside Bobby Reed 'Time is right for love', or Richard Caiton 'Near you' - tunes that demand attention
