After reading some of the posts, I can understand why some would not want to do a play list, as it can fuel the elitist game of one-upmanship, look at all my expensive records!🙄 But for me personally, I can't go to any venues at this time, so it's one of the few ways I can find out and keep up, with what's being played at venues🙂

I do appreciate people taking the time to review venues, but it would be good to have more playlists of the records played on the night, rather than "It was a great night and Jim, Bob and big Dave were there"!

Great tunes. I hope you have a great night at the 100 club and it's really buzzing💫 The Bobby Patterson is a great record and I remember it sounded really good when played loud at Lowton near Warrington, on some of those great nights we had there👍

Great version of the Archie Bell and the Drells big tune. £15. Free postage to Uk address. Top condition on this UK original Bluebird release. 12". 45rpm single. These 12" singles give exceptional sound reproduction and loud sound quality.

I can still see Brian Rae standing behind the decks in the Casino days cueing in the New Wanderers. It was a relatively new play then! Great times💫

Great memories for me too. It was Brilliant💥. Like anywhere it had it's up's and downs, but overall I think it was great!

Something about this Majjestees record always sounds a little like the Bob and Fred record to me! The flip to "Take Back All Those Things".

I remember it getting plays at the allnighters in the late 1980's. It sounded great up at the Allanton Shotts allnighters in Scotland where I first heard it. Also as it turned out, a friend of mine already had it in his collection🙂👍!

Maybe crossover could losely be described as 60's records that have productions that sound like they could of been made in the 70's, and 70's records that sound like thay could have been made in the 60's!

My old pal Richard(Dicky)Watt had a gold vinyl copy.

Interesting, what is the L.P. called?

I bought that Johnny McCall on Alteen "I Need You" from Soul Bowls John Anderson for about £5. He had a small amount of mint copies and listed them every week for a short while. It's a great record, but I never thought back then it would go for the money it's fetching now!

Shelley Fisher wrote "Girl I Love You" and Garland Green recorded it first for Gamma records in 1967. As you all probably know, it was then picked up by Revue records for bigger distribution release. It was released by Revue on a 7" single and on the Garland Green L.P. release. Jacqueline Hilliard started Dayla records in Los Angles early 1972. Shelley Fisher was the first release with "Outside Of Memphis". The flip side was a version of his own composition "Girl I Love You". I remember the Shelley Fisher on Dayla getting some plays in the 1970's, at Blackpool Mecca's legendary Highland Room. That's where I bought my copy, but it was not a lot of money back then. I think both versions are great.

Revilot from Detroit giving us another great track from The Holidays and "Never Alone".

Harry Star on IPG sounds ok to me at the correct speed, but some records do sound better slowed down or faster. For instance, I have the, not very good, Ray Dahrouge Polydor 1979 version of The Anderson Brothers classic "I Can See Him Making Love To You". I think it does improve it when slowed down by -6 revs. I can almost enjoy it!

Also frustrating are sellers who can't be arsed to individually grade condition of the records they are selling! All you get is "everything listed is vg+ or better"👎. They want customers to spend hundreds of pounds on this "vg+ or better" basis!

It's good to appreciate records for how good they are to oneself, and not just because they have a high price tag and are rare!

Hi, It's hard to give a price without knowing the condition. Selling or buying?

I've Been Taken For A Ride" - The Saints - USA original Kent 45. £80. Ex+ condition. Postage £3.60.

You probably already know, the White and Red coloured Way Out label is a better, clearer recording. The copies that are spelled in the title as 'You're" not "Your". The red/pink multi coloured label has a muffly, not as clear recording.

"I've Been Taken For A Ride" - The Saints - USA original Kent 45. £80. Ex+ condition. Postage £3.60. "I'm The One Who Loves You"- Impressions. USA original Demo. Harder to find than the issues. £35. Ex+condition. Postage £2.80. SOLD.

If you ard playing 60's and early 70's records, it's good to have an amp with a mono/stereo button, as a lot of these records sound better with the mono button on. I had to buy a second hand amp to get this feature, as most all new amps can only play stereo.

That's true, but the world has changed and now it's easy to send pictures to anyone in seconds. Now that we can do it, it can't be uninvented!

I bought Gerri Hall "Who Can I Run To" on Hotline for £3 in the Wigan Casino record bar. I didn't know it, but really liked Donna King, so I took a chance. The guy selling said it was good👍. No one I talked to back then seemed to know it!

Wigan Casino Part 2 featuring Richard Searling sounds great to me, it takes me back to those times.. The standard of the records in his set was awesome! A lot of them have become classics, but back then we were hearing them for the first time.
