THE FLASHER MISTURA

[ivorlottandtonybroke]

Takes me back to Embassy Suite Colchester!! Am I the furthest South? I've just started dancing again for the first time in MANY years and this one still don't half get me going.

[francesb169]

first heard this at the ymca in loughborough i was 15 am 52 now and can still dance to the end x

[615jenkins]

I wish Richard Branson would hurry up and build a time machine!

[howardcorner]

Massive classic tune

[samsonrottie]

Shit hot when ya got a packed dance floor

[Derwentcub]

Fabulous track -thanks for posting.. Pure magic!

[cudaneil1]

I remember buying this single on vinyl ! first heard it at blackpool mecca.

Awesome days at the Casino. Wish i could go back again !!!!!

[tommy66toffee]

Such a brilliant track - dance my ass off to this almost every day.:-)

[MrBazza360]

early days,wigan/mecca/no shit like this now,where did them days go,BROMA.CANNOCK.

[CarolineDul]

Takes me back to Melton Mowbray Corn Exchange 'discos' ....always loved this!

[ceebeegeebee1]

what a tune! takes me back to when i was djing in 1977, always remember the abrupt ending used to catch me out, until a friend told me to listen for three "pips" just before it ends! see if you can hear them at 4.25

[moswink1971]

The Phoenix, about 1989 - 1990, i think. I could dance to this all the way through. Happy days, Im 40 now, and would probably need an ambulance after a few seconds. I long for those days back, dont wish time away, enjoy every second...

[philbornagain]

My mates were talking about Northern Soul, they're a little younger than me & missed out on the era so I just had to post this to Facebook to give them a little training into the greatest dance movement the UK has ever seen. Wigan Casino was Mecca to us!!!

[PippyShortStocking1]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!

[marionpalir]

Brilliant !!!!

[HAGGIS499]

The bell on redcliffe hill ,Bristol for many years, classic tune, must find my copy its in the loft somewhere.

[ricknblack]

derbyshire hill youth club classic,fekin awesome

[Foxymax22]

Northern Soul - nothing like it, should be taught at school, it would give the kids an outlet for their energy and some enjoyment in life

[Nickmariners]

Cleethorpes Winter Gardens Sunday Club. Nuff said.

[ibeshades]

Brilliant track shame it was only appreciated by people mostly into northern soul

great dance track remember p t lawrence playing this he was the dj at 76 club burton on trent filled the floor on a friday night and sat night.

One of my prized possesions on 45 vinyl

[loonylinda]

yep we even danced to this at a northern soul night in Norwich!...we liked northern soul there too! :0)

[TinaTurnon1]

I love this track brings back great memories of the youth club disco I used to go to and loved it when they played the northern soul tracks.

[RitmoNo1]

I remember watching some girls at my local youth club dancing to this - they got right into it and I couldn't take my eyes off them - thought they were really cool!

[PhotoshopBus]

This reminds me of getting kicked by Jethro at Wigan. I was doing a spin and he was doing his scat cat dance. Hurt like hell lol

[furmickey]

OMG!! So glad to find this here, takes me back to 1977 I think...got this on 7inch vinyl somewhere.

[taffywoman1]

bin looking for this song for yrs god it brings bk memories love it xx

[fevred]

After The Casino died, a whole generation didn't die? PembrokeRoadN15, we just spread the gospel according to Russ n Richard across the land, Northern Soul is probably as big now as it ever was in the 70s?

Keeping The Faith 30yrs after WIGAN

[agentrrsoul]

What a great tune, I remember this from what was the 76 club in Burton on Trent, happy days. thanks for posting.

[trebilco58]

[flogberry]

Sam4161 Me Too! KTF

[Tr1kx]

If this doesn't get your feet tapping, you ain't got no rhthym. Get on the dance floor and boogie on down to that trumpet, (it's almost up to Herb Alpert's standard). A great Northern dancer

[jocksprocket]

[sam4161]

[TheChrissy1960]

[mancanwall2]

where can ibuy this record my dad used to backdrop u name it

[Woo5ter]

Love this track like no other, Tiffanys Darwen, Golden Palms Blackburn, British Legion Accrington, The Mecca Blackpool, The Ritz Manchester need I say more. Reminds me of the song in the charts back then. Those were the days my friend we thought they would never end!

[MsEm1986]

Thought i was the only one to remember Tiffs at Darwen

KTF

[zantepete]

cracking sound guaranteed to ram the floor.sure i heard this before kev bought it back from the states in 76,i may be wrong though???.

pete from hemel

[drwhatson]

I doubt it was played in the UK before then, as they were initially very hard to get (on the US Fusion label). Of course, it got in the pop charts following it's UK release, so was being played all over the place. I even heard it at a disco in Ostend once!

[Moorfieldjj]

Is the otherside of this 45 on you tube? Life is a song worth singing, instrumental!

[neva2old2rock]

Got to be one of the greatest instrumentals of all time. Just fantastic.

[monikati51]

What a perfect estereo reproduction of this eleectric Casinos!

Congratulations!

ktf (and shake!)

[0utcastAussie]

I used to jam to this at Western Star Yoof club in Priestgate, Peterborough.

As above states... Stomping Ch00n

[drwhatson]

Initially brought back from the States in 1976 by Kev Roberts and... yes, another big Blackpool Mecca record, eventually appropriated by that lesser venue at Station Road! LOL

[smartypantsnancy]

Reminds me of the Blackburn boys dancing to it on the pier at Cleethorpes and the floor bouncing like the Ritz floor. Happy memories of bouncy wooden dance floors and sweaty boys x

[jelboysvw]

Stomping sound that still sounds refreshing today

[PembrokeRoadN15]

when Wigan casino died, so did an entire generation.

I'm now 42 and live in Australia, but I still own a Vespa.

They destroyed the casino, but Northern soul lives on!!!

[TheEddie134]

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS

[jelboysvw]

The Murderer was the same bloke that started it...........He opened the doors to the TV cameras and that was the begining of the end

[rollindanny57]

@PembrokeRoadN15 You were 13 when they closed Wigan casino . How many wild nights did you have there ?

[ancientraver19881989]

@rollindanny57 I thought that too!

[unomaggio]

@PembrokeRoadN15

52 years old and there is STILL some soul left in these old shoes!

[SOULXCHANGE]

@PembrokeRoadN15  You know that Northern Soul lives big time in Perth Australia and links to all city venues.. go ww.Perthsoul.
