Major also played the VA VA in Bolton around 73 he spent several hours with me and Joan after his performance ,he had a row with the backin band about their input in his show he did,nt think they where up to it, later durin the nite he gave me his silk scarf that he had been wearing during his show i gave it to Dave Skeen a big fan of Major couple years ago.. I also won Majors leather jacket in a comp on Dave Evisons Signal radio,s soul show guess the lyric comp i auctioned the jacket off at Leigh Miners Soul Nite in aid of the Hillsbourgh Disaster and Mick Davey won it lucky sod, all proceeds went to the fund i think we raised around £200 in the auction His shows at the Torch where something else i remember him telling me later that they where very emotional for him who can forget him bringing his family on stage at the Torch wow what memories.... Another artist who found the Torch amazing was Jnr Walker after his show he was dancin with myself and Fred Morton he said to us the folks back in Detroit will never believe this ! Regards Ian C

Yes Major Lance played the Casino in 73 around March on a Friday nite pre the Winstanley Allniter era, i remember it very well because Major asked for a couple of Soulies to get on the stage with him and this girl got up then Billy Mac & Terry Hastings got hold of me and threw me onto the stage I was scared to death i taken 8 Filon few hours earlier and was smashed Major then sang his new release I wanna make up before i break up, me and this girl started to dance and my legs where goin like the clappers i was movin that fast Major told Hey Brother slow down it was funny as f--k to all the soulies watchin , i could,nt wait to get off stage Those where the days he he Regards Ian Cunliffe

Tomangoes--really love you another slab of lyrical torture brill !!! In fact most Soul Music recordings are,nt lyrics they,re pure Poetry penned by people who are sharing lifes trials and tribulations with us ..I remember as a 12 yr kid listening to Otis Reddings Ive been loving you too long in my front room on my Grundig record player and my eyes filling with tears by the end thats what Soul is ! plucks your heart strings and tortures your soul bringing you joy and pain Wow joy and pain thats another awesome tune blimey could go on allnite.. xx Ian C

Sorry to hear your not to good mate, hope your soon up and about Any rare 45,s for a £1 Best Wishes.....Ian C

Rod Shard gave me a copy years ago in Afflecks Palace Manchester because it would,nt play even tho it looked ok , Steve Jones my mate put it on a old record player and started playin it at 78rpm within a couple of secs a thin film of crap was building up on the stylus gave the 45 a quick wash down with surgical spirit and hey presto it played perfect spun it out for around 6 months then sold it for £150 to Soul Sam and gave Rod £75 at his stall which im sure he did,nt expect..not bad for a 45 he gave me to stick on the loft wall

=========================================================================== Ay that Joan she,s mad i saw her throw a banana at a dj at a alniter at the Cricketers in Wiggin Best one was Clarence throwing Pete Lawson around 4 mtrs into a screen at the Concord suite Alniter the lead up to that was has funny as it gets

================================================================== I remember Rob T first getting this many moons ago and playing it over the phone to me askin what i thought about it and had i heard it before..never heard it and thought it was awesome. Rob and Andy Rix use to play mostly out of the same dj box with 45,s / acetates that they picked up together over the years from what i remember Rob T sold it to Steve Chadwick from Runcorn then later on Rob bought it back i think and still has it to my knowledge..
