How come the Anita Moore song is credited to Les McCann as being the composer? Am I missing something?

Yep. This absolutely reeks of the Casino closely followed by Nancy wilson .....End of our love.

Pleckgate school youth disco on a Friday night, St Gabriels on a Saturday night and West End on a Sunday night. All in Blackburn. There were a couple during the week as well at The Courts. Patchwork and star jumpers, two tone parallels form Blackburn Market, Como shoes from a local shop named Sokos and check shirts from Watson and Wrigleys. Crombie for winter. Braided Barathea blazer made an appearance a few months on. Music was Boogaloo Party, Breakout, The Next In Line, Cum-a-la-be-stay, all the Motown biggies etc. This would be 1972. A. little kid wet behind the ears. Amazing to think 18 months further on in life I would be hitting Wigan, Blackpool etc a fully fledged soul boy.

Harrison Brothers for me. Sounds more urgent. Would love to have danced to this bitd.

Superb. Just as I remember. Best shoes ever for dancing in.

I'm confused. I seem to remember I had a disc on the Caneil label "How can I forget". I think it was by Joey Dee?? But what's got me confused is I seem to think it was a much slower song than the "Wigan" biggie of 74. A different song altogether. Iv actually had the record but sold it ages ago. And now I've no clue to what it was. Anyone any ideas as to what it was. Or am I mistaken about everything.

My God....16 years of age....wet behind the ears...bum fluff on my chin. I swear those where the times of my life. Brilliant Brilliant memories. What a record when fueled up. .

Back Street, You Get Your Kicks, Boogaloo Party. Two tone parallels and star jumper. No whiskers just bumfluff on the chin. Whats not to like. God I feel proper old now.

Wigan.......Afternoon of the Rhino sounded great.

Never heard this before. wow!! Brilliant.

The Volumes.....I think it was in Pete Smith's Beating Rhythm mag.

Never heard that Sir Joe before. But I know straight away that I like it. It's weird is taste in music. I mean that Triads..........I turned in off after 20 secs. Just not my style. Only saying.

It would be shame Pete if you decided to lurk. You've too much input/knowledge to disappear into the depths. I know what you mean though. Sometimes when reading the discussions I just think. HUH!!!!!WHAT ARE you on about? I've recently been revisiting old threads. Best discoveries, rarest demos, record digging discoveries etc. Now they are what it's all about. Just saying.

Bobby Garrett.... I cant get away....... That sax break.

Me not quite getting it. For solo artists is it christian name or surname first? Just wondering.

Top left picture.... I didnt know Ritchie Benaud was into the music.

Thing of beauty.

Yep. I agree. Just an amazing record. How anyone can put together a tune and lyrics such as this is wonderful. How would you start to imagine all this in your head? Then to carry out the vocal too...........file under A for Awesome.

I think I may have been a 'div' It was early 1973 and was trying to get into Blackpool Mecca to visit the Highland Room. I was 15 years of age with bumfluff on my chin. I was hiding in the queue behind other 'divs'. We were all trying to hide behind each other to be honest. I didnt get in. The bouncers spotted me a mile away. I must have gone about 10 times before I got in. Youve got to have been a 'div' once to progress in my opinion. Just saying

Its not northern soul. However I think its a great dance track. Reminds me of my raving days. A bit of techno electronic house chucked in as well. I like it.

I Cant Get Away.................... File under A for Awesome. Doesnt get much better. Proper northern soul.

I went a couple of times 76ish. Remember JV on both occassions playing Soul Yogi by Freddie McCoy. Went to Wigan and found it the record bar within 5 mins. Result.

Thats exactly what I thought as soon as I started reading this thread. Just saying.

Thanks a lot.
