I recently received a facebook message regarding Millgate Arts Centre in Delph, Saddleworth ( can't locate again...sadly). They are planning to stage "Once upon a time in Wigan" next February, but are asking for volunteers to audition for the parts in the show. If anybody sees this facebook please post here for more informatjon.

It should be great Neil Will start my radio show off with JJ's version, and give a plug to this new find.

The story gets better..from an unfinished Edwin vocal, to 2 vocals. Looking forward to it...and the Edwin original of " Please let me in" 🙂

Hi Yes...It seems so

Slightly confusing those memories regarding Edwin not getting the 'feel' for the track. It suggests he didn't complete the recording , walking out of the studio with his "Ego" on a truck bed LOL. I guess the memories are faded somewhat, as I assume we'll hear a full vocal by Edwin.

Hello. Just unfortunate . Was there 45 mins before start. Avoided table near bar...bound to get crowded. Back room was freezing cold..door open. So we took seats near the DJ but behind speakers. But there was piped music in the back room, but our speaker was not working, and my request was, frankly, very rudely refused. But I could tell the tunes were top quality, but some deck issues to. I travelled from Manchester...with friends not really into Northern so future visits, as a 'team' doubtful. I'd like to try again.

Sunday 23-3-25 inc. TMG rundown, Hearts Of Stone, Temptations, Bobby Taylor, Spinners and more https://podcast.canstream.co.uk/manchesterfm/index.php?id=54853

Sadly, where we sat, we could hardly hear the music.....yards away from the DJ box, but behind the speakers. The room adjacent had music piped through, so that seemed ok...but full. Tim told us to report it to the Manager, and when I asked him if he could turn on the Speaker, he replied "NO". Left after a few hours....the music selection was great...but as I say, we could hardly hear the tracks played. Nice Thai meal though

Interesting, those Log Sheets are stamped with Motown's name, and appear to be listing dates from 1968. Were Motown logging these Golden World recordings, some time after the buy out in late 1966.?
