LOU RAGLAND -SINCE YOU SAID UK
Surely UK Warner Brothers, not Buddah.

Colette Kelly
l always liked the intro, give the record a bit of a unique feel to it. It was popular at various mid week venues around East Lancs in the early 70's. Also very easy to find copies back then, like you said Steve not rare, so no surprise you where given a copy. Yours Dave T.

My thoughts as well. £43.50, more like £4.50.

Jean Carter 'like one' Decca playability Q?
As others have said the Decca copies were played back in 72. The MCA were done towards the end of the 70's, due to demand. Every Decca copy that l have heard sounds distorted, but in a club it doesn't sound as bad as it does at home. Quick question do the MCA copies play normally?

If there was just one 45?
l had no idea, mind you it was 73/74 when l was playing them off LP. No internet in them days, and l stopped collecting back in 1980. It's amazing what has turned up on non US/UK labels over the years. Reguards Dave T.

The Great Wigan Casino Cover Up
That was a Mecca cover up title, from 74. I took Freddie Williams to Russ's shop in Wigan, for Russ and Richard to listen to because at the time they didn't know it.

Old list from John Farrell
The Pink Copy, says Leonard Jewel, not Len Jewel, so it's looks like someone paid too much.
-
Old list from John Farrell
The blue Terri De reissue pre-dates Wigan, so it was 73, unless it was done twice.

Old list from John Farrell
I got a couple of "Cool Off" off him, did a swap with one with Kev Roberts at the Mecca. Also got a Patti Young at the same time, and loads more in the 70's off him and Martin. Saw John at The Wilton, last year, when Ann Sexton was on.

Northern played at football matches
I remember there was at least one 5-a-side game (maybe two) played outside the Spinning Jenny All-Dayer late 70's. Can't remember who played but a think Colin Curtis had something to do with it. It was the week that Jonathan had bought Frank Wilson, that was the big talk between the record collectors at the time.

The male greats... all gone?
Marc Evans & Gregory Porter to name just two.

Label Stickers and Stamps
Now that is nice, l never got my hands on a WD in my collecting days. It would have looked nice next to "Let's Get Into Something"

Don't talk to me about how much John Manship gets for records
In the mid 70's there were copies around for a round a fiver, and in 1980 a let one go in a job lot of 70's at 50p each. Yours (wiping away the tears) D.T. lol.

THE THRILLERS - DETROIT CITY SOUL - GROVE CITY - QUESTIONS ?

Angels, Burnley
I can't remember Colin DJing there, but he could have done. You are right about Sunday nights with Ian Levine on the decks, also a midweek night with Richard Searling on the decks.

The Hardest venue to DJ at .?
Heavy Metal gig or a Punk Rock night. Soul records tend to sink like a lead balloon. Not forgetting the locals might want to kill you, lol.
