Wade in the water - been playing it since 82

Brian Rae - still on it at 74, always good for a chat about the old days - who played what record etc etc, I remember years ago I cornered Russ W and Brian ran out of questions of who played what at the Casino , in the early days 73 / 74 - someone really needs to interview all theses jocks get the history written down - legends

One of thouse legendary story's - if it was raining in the morning after the "twisted wheel" they would play it keeps raining by Fats - RIP big man

Guy in The striped top near the stage same person ?

100% yes - mid late 7ts yes, if it was played in 66 it comes under the twisted wheel - pre 73 - so deffo Northern Soul - weather you like it ir not - personally it just went on tooooooo long - not sure if it was pressed one of the other guys am sure will jump on that - they use to use it as a background theme on radio 2

Zed - my best guess is - it looks like it's right at the start of the night see the guy on the left hand side arrive with his bag also people usually put some bags at the front of the stage. I would say it's the camera man lighting check for the Wigan casino documentary - just my 2 pence

Dick Not sure what you're looking for, as top prices will take time to assess, original, condition, research etc you've got 1,500 even at a lowly £5 a pop - that's £7,500 in your pocket - either way if you brought them back in the day you're quids in. top money will take longer or you sell the lot to a record dealer , quick sale - have fun either way

Both - you can save either into you picture album soul records sale - then list what you sold it for (I also put what I brought it for , where I purchased it, venues I've played it at, where I can remember - swapping for a deal of speed is acceptable) - that allows you to see what you had, 10 years from now after a few beers like a sad old Sod you can sit round with you're mates on one lap top going through and on another you tubing the clip - I guess for the £5 don't mean anything records I wouldn't go into detail.

Every record I've sold I took a picture -

Dick You're retired mate, do a back ground searches on price see what they go for and knock em out. Ask on SS for price if in doubt if you're 68 most if you're sounds would have been picked up back in the day for £5 , £15 anything higher that £20 was rare. You're quids in - I sold a few on here a few years ago - I paid £18 for gene Woodbury sold it for £360 and now it's £1,000 plus - it's mad - take ur time group a few rare ones together - if you've got TMG numbers the Motown numbers guys will love it - hope it makes you a million

IanP - not sure how much you paid or if you buy high end records - try and use the experience of some of the older guys on here - Russ , RobbK and PeteS have all been around the houses - if in doubt PM them before you buy - I know. You're concern maybe / well then they might buy this super bargain from under you - but they won't, your know why coz if they wanted it they've already got it. I hate it where people scam others into buying something that's incorrect, return the record, name the dealer- and draw a line under it. just because of one bad dealer, don't mean there all at it , remember it's a hobby- enjoy

Nice Russ - super clean copy by the looks

Look at the stars either side of the name org there all the same - the pressing some are different sizes- there not the same

RobbK I think your right never seen a blue issue org - this label is stuck on -

Clear stamp hope that helps stamp YW 39286 1

MGM I remember the blue being booted. About 77 - I've got the org somewhere so will dig it out tomorrow and post

Ian I can't take any credit that was an old Pete S post

Posted June 17, 2008 The boot is on thick vinyl, blue moulded on label, no machine stamp in the run off. Original is on styrene with stuck on label, blue label or white demo, with appropriate machine stamps.

2 o clock in the morning speeding your nuts off - Casino - floor was packed - true 100mph stomper - part of history - doesn't matter if you like it or not - it ticked the box at the time and place

Roberta Flack - ultimate Soul record at its best - still sends shivers down my spine Just My 2 cents

While out walking the dog on Sunday - I saw 4 kids, very rarely they seemed like they were playing and not on there phones. Whittlesea brick works puffing away in the back ground

Robbk Zulus in Birmingham were an organised firm of people / mostly male who looked for apposing football firms to fight with. There numbers ranged from 50-100 for low keyed games and could swell to 750 for major games / they followed Birmingham City Football Club. They had a large following of black people (they also controled and ran the firm) - hence the name Zulus. I remember seeing them back in the 80t's about 250 of them at London Bridge - when they chanted it was Zulu, Zulu Zulu - quite impressive.

Thought I was being clever with a twisted wheel classic - 1959 - at least you can dance to this lol

Hunstanton last night - fish n chips , scooter

Back garden - onto river nene Stanground - great having swans visit / down site is they crap all over the place lol
