I sort of agree, alot of the suggestions to me are blue eyed soul , what I would call Carolina Soul almost beach music. But I'm not being ungrateful for the suggestions but I personally ( my own interpretations ) was trying to get across is garage music almost with a touch of rock music ( yes guitars) which is why I quoted The Seeds and The Innkeepers. And sounds like this that Keb often plays. I know The Nomads, Vondells, Embers etc are blue eyed/carolina soul in my eyes not garage . I trust I haven't upset anyone in this woke society with my personal views

Thank you, that is why I did a search but nothing popped up.. if anyone else can help with a link I would appreciate it.

If this has been done before I apologise as I did do a search before posting this.. As our scene has crossed paths with many different music genres from r&b, Latin soul, beach music etc.. How much of it has come from the Garage scene? I know we had the seeds pushing too hard and gypsy drywell, innkeepers never should have done it.. Forest fire on main street, covered as lord Sitar and the Baltimore marching band.. I know Keb used to slip one or two in but my memory isn't what it was 🥲 So would appreciate any help Mick

Only one word... WOW. Hopefully this won't bore anyone reading this, my Dad was born 1918 and having been conscripted in the 2nd world war as a Military Police Man he landed in Normandy on June 7th, D DAY plus one. He spent the next 4 years in Europe and because of what he saw and did he said so very little. If it wasn't for my Mother I wouldn't have known that he was one of the people who liberated Belson Bergen. But of the the few things he told me, lol like guarding a distillery of Calvados in France.. I always remember him describing seeing coloured lights in the sky (don't know where in Europe he was at the time) But he and his friends were dumbstruck as they had no idea what they were seeing, they even thought they were something Hitler had invented.!!!! Although now with Internet etc we all know about the northern lights...

Finding all of this really interesting, thanks for posting. Learning new stuff every day. Have an old celestrion astromaster to look at moon and planets but really interesting about the Sun especially the size of it , it's almost hard to comprehend.. thanks again

Thanks for putting this up, I'd forgotten I have it currently listening to it now

Thank you, did not know that, love this site for all the info people have, 😀

Sorry if I have it wrong someonetold me that im your your Pimp was Album only and the 45 was a reissue? If wrong I stand corrected. I know my hang up with you is a 45 as have one of those..

Marlena Shaw I just want this feeling to last. Skullsnaps I'm your Pimp/All of a sudden ( same album) Willie Hutch lucky to be loved by you These are 3 I have that I can think of, off the top of my head.

I know these aren't Wigan instrumentals but still enjoy listening to Detroit strings in the pocket and lord Sitar and the Baltimore marching band ( can't remember what name Gary Rushbrooke introduced it as ? ) We now know as Forest fire on main street, by Gasoline powered clock. Big oddfellows and Stafford instrumentals

They were especially as they seemed to be collected from the chemist's on the way to a niter... prescription obviously 🙄

I still like instrumentals, can never remember the words though. 🤔

So so sad met Ted mid 80s and again when I got back into the scene after my divorce.. I will always remember him firstly for playing requests for my Son Kevin as he got into the scene and also sounds I pressured him to play with Ted having dance floor doubts.. 1st the traditions twinkle little star and little Willie faulks look into my heart at a nighter in Kettering which both filled the floor, thank you Ted x But for me the best memory is of my first spot in the back room of rugby and I dedicated my copy of Mac Staten to Ted and he threatened to hit me with his walking stick and run off with my copy... Will miss you Ted thanks for being a great bloke, great dj and a great gardener. Love and prayers to your family and friends. Mick and Kevin x x x

I totally agree. My 1st niter as a 15 year old was 1980, I'm now 60 and all my peers and artists are a lot older and of course we will lose them, it's so so sad and painful 😒 but it is what life is 😪😪 But the most important thing is that we have lived and danced that music and we will remember it always and take it to our own graves. Sadly I know but truthful x x

I've wanted a pages for ages. Gave up at 500.. can't believe the final price..
