This was massive in 1973 just before the casino opened, when it was played at the Casino when it had just opened it had been bootlegged. Surely one of the greatest instrumentals of all time. One of my friends had the original LP with a fantastic sound system and we used to listen to it time after time before going to various soul nights. Top sound..
Conjured up big game hunting for me! lost in my own dreamworld on the main floor at the Casino......times i want to live again...sadly many of my friends are gone from then....me ha!ha!....i line up for my 94th Maraton in New York then its Soul in the Sun Tenerife
So this is the start of the career of the same Mike Post that wrote all those terrific TV drama themes? This sounds as though it should have been a TV theme itself - and that's not meant as a putdown either!
NEVER played at the torch as far as i can remember!! (was played at the top rank hanley)i never missed an allnighter there..however bubblegum breakthrough was played at the torch very often, a tune not to be found on here anywhere........
Jeez Bublegum Breakthrough!!! Thanks for reminding me of that one.....someone else got my spelling right on a Towanda Lewis track today I'd been searching for.......go to Mrsradish....she and her man seem to be able to come up with even the most obscure tracks......i could be wrong about hearing this at Torch or Wheel.....but I definately heard it before Wigan.....but ummmm ...errr..things were a bit hectic back then, if ou know what I mean!!!
I should also have said it was massive in the Highland Room before it went disco. What would you prefer, this or shake and bump?
