Ric-tic

just watched dance britannia on bbc 4 very enjoyable, tomorrow is the 70s,at the end they showed a some very brief clips and im sure theres something for us very briefely they showed a colour clip of possibly n/soulers that i have never seen, so brief only a couple of seconds. i dont want to build up anyones hopes but could could this be the lost TOTP footsie thing, did anyone tape this to confirm? [shouldnt have said this as im probibly gonna be wrong ]

and heres one from jackie to mira productions but a warning jackies not happy

1 turning my heartbeat up -mvp's 2 out of my mind -rain 3 what -judy street

ken im asuming you mean the 12" some dealers do ask a lot for this, soul brother a couple of years ago were asking £75 although personally youd be mad to pay that if you wanted one

also u.s promo only 12"

probibly not as they are not required to

all of them but my favourite 'dont want nobody to come between us'

theres a 3rd volume of this out soon ,does kev roberts really believe people will shell out for a third time? it looks like a whole new top 500, im getting confused so the first book wasnt really the top 500 but this one is?... i aint shellin' out

there was a massive fight at blackpool mecca around 1972 like the wild west you somehow felt it was going to go off then it did, we were sat at a table and somehow the table ended up on top of me and those tables were heavy, there was chairs flying and everything, never saw another there after that, it was all love peace and harmony thereafter

i remember years ago some stoke guys had the black fist with wigan casino rules o.k around it, the problem was the tattoo guy really didnt get it, he spelt wigan as wagan on all of them and they never realised till they got home

i was a city centre d j in liverpool for about a year in the late 70s it wasnt northern but disco and it was a gay club but we had nice records, but there were a fair few 'faces ' off the northern scene that passed through the doors does that count?

the bee gees wernt disco in the u.k or the u.s to quote Judy Weinstein from the new york record pool 'then saturday night fever came along and all hell broke loose and it was the beginning of the end for disco....i mean the bee gees wernt disco'..... in the 70s and you wanted to hear good underground disco and the bee gees were on you f you were in the wrong club, i disco d.j ed in liverpool at that time and no bee gees records graced my turntable

yes but you missed one of his other items strangely i was playing this today, a goldmine c.d for $760 but even more crazy theres 13 bids https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VA-CMON-DANCE-TOO-19...1QQcmdZViewItem

its true i was thinking that earlier its a lot of labels for a company that had no money, you heard it only once at wigan ,youd have heard it a lot at the mecca as for deek not satisfying demand i wrote to him in 76 and he wrote me back in april, i still have the letter, the reason he didnt was because of the crystal deal it began ....'as you know weve had problems with bootleggers in your country, therefore we no longer mail our products to anyone, however you may write to the crystal label, they are the distributers in your area'......... and i thought bootleggers? ive never seen a creative funk bootleg

yes same label number but the spoken intro also exists on a red and silver label here the bell release i mentioned earlier

any chance of a scan steveM ive never seen this, i collect creative funk and have never seen a red/white promo of any release except i have a black/white promo of creative funk 12000 but thats a bell distributed copy picked up by bell [after the regular creative funk release] i think possibly that never came out as i cant recall seeing a bell stock copy

lots of americans do call 12" singles albums in their listings, strange but true

i remember reading/hearing an interview with marc almond,he said round the time of his version he was at a meeting with the u.s record company and ed cobb was also there,almond said ed wouldnt speak to him or even look at him theres gratitude

ay shirley, if we have to do a frank wilson re-press you can go on sound quality check........... i swear if i hear that record one more time.....

heres the 1975 12" timings 7.11 and2.37

i also have a 12" re edit/mix thingy timing 7:11 on disco international -dis 1507-45 [u.s] from 1975

i have a copy of this too up until the last second it was going to be by the chosen few,my copy has the sleeve similar to the one they used except it just says chosen few then when it was released they added the wigan in red on the left, a third press of the cover evens the wigans chosen few out in an arc over the top.

hey mel brat you forgot they also did an all dayer at the mecca in the mid 70s,6 blackpool mecca points forefited

thanks mister
