seems someone was listening to brian matthew on radio 2 this morning... :lol:

I have the single of Apples Peaches Pumpkin Pie.

 

It was a massive single on the Northern Soul Scene in the late 60s & early 70s.

 

People think Northern Soul began at Wigan Casino and Blackpool Mecca but it really started at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester and The Torch in Stoke-On-Trent around 5 years before and they were also all-nighters.

 

At the Twisted Wheel they used to have lots of US soul acts appearing. Acts such as Edwin Starr - Junior Walker - Sam & Dave, even the late great legend Otis Redding appeared in 1967 before he was killed.

and tbh actually probs only the decent show on that station (most of the other presenters seem to be a bunch fricking awful eejits and mad women who should be locked up out of the reach of the nations airwaves) esp if the playlist is v trainspooterish with lots of stuff that might be in my lost gems of the 60s bok and not cheesy adam faith stuff that my dad would probs sing along to - and good to have on when you've had a bit too much of the 'ye olde worlde fizzy Apple Irish Pop' the might before....

 

cant remember much of what was played this morning as im trying to reassemble my brain from last night's bar crawl apart from Simon Dupree and Scott Walker :cheer: ...and some weird sound mashup experimental thing that could have been Prefab Sprout's I Trawl The Megahertz and Ken Dodd doing a really groovy version of the sultans where me jumper....which should be remixed in a big beat elvis style!!!

the best of Twisted Wheel (She's A Weapon!!! She's A Weapon!!! :lol: ), Wigan Casino, The Goldern Torch and Blackpool Mecca are out on sony bmg - think they would be cool to have all of those at some point - look like they could be a good collection and seem to have good cover notes with the album - even tho trying to collect all of the new 100 hits and started getting those talcum soul collections on stateside...
