6 months after the Casino closed i got married, we all thought it was the end at the time, great sadness ensued, i retreated into my own world of bedroom sounds and stopped going to allniters, then after a few years the urge to get out and about was too much and i began hitting the niters and soul nites again, Queens hall Bradford was local and brill and it ignited the spark, and the new sounds discovered at Stafford etc whetted my appetite for even more venues to attend and i did many up and down the country until about 7yrs ago until it was no longer possible, ..Back to the Casino, i went to the original last all ticket allniter in sept 81, think tickets were a fiver in advance, then they started letting people with no tickets in for 2 quid on the door in the early hours, it then turned into a farce announcing that there were gonna be another final allniter, then there was the infamous complete power cut at about 4am with no sound,lights etc for what seemed an age, (many people forget this happened, maybe because they were too smashed etc) this only lasted about 5 mins,but enuff to cause a little panic though, i remember it distinctly, coz i was wandering around the balcony at the time and tripped over someones head who was asleep on the floor and i twisted my ankle, then to cap it all when we went back to the coach, all the seats were taken and we had to lay on the floor in the aisle all the way back home, my old mate Bob bloor (r.i.p) organised the coach and it was half empty on the way down,so he touted for some more passengers in the niter, but obviously over egged it, happy days!

Agreed, both great venues, i done both, but Wigan was ...well just special

On it.. Superb as usual

N.soul chris on pure, the lads on Tudno, dean andersons & jez 2 shows, 6 towns,& dave cummings on friday and chalky on saturdays,..and loads of pods the rest of the time,..never quiet here.

Got a paul sindab, do what you wanna do on hype for tenner. also bought yvonne daniels on sterling at wigan in 79 for a whole quid!

Barmy..its a 200 quid record,.i sold mine for 80 not that long ago

I once answered a sales on here for a record at £100.. and got ignored...then a week later the same seller put the same record up for sale again, this time the price went up to £150

yes i agree Pete they are defo carvers, but them other ones have the same B sides as Goldmine 7S

Yes, its pretty common. especially with priority shipping if the stated customs label is marked low value.

Gotta agree Sid, with the flip of Betty Lloyd ..superb sound

Mmm..dont fancy opening that link..from a newby

forget what radio station it was, but a couple of years ago, an internet dj played about 5/6 versions of this tune one after the other, was very good.

Instant paypal waiting for a reasonable priced copy in good nick, Cheers Mick

See the cost of sending a record rose again yesterday. UK delivery price rises 1st class now £1.24 up from £1.20 1st class recorded now £2.34 up from £2.30 suppose we got to keep the shareholders happy now.

Soul source for me,.the only game in town. used to go on facebook, but found it was full of walter mitty types & Divs, that "i went to Wigan Casino" group..a big chunk of them never stepped inside the place...final straw was someone selling some lapel badges about being there,..i,m sticking where the genuine Soulies hang out....on ere
