omg I cannot believe you're all still bickerin about all this stuff after nearly 40 yrs. I went to both the casino and the mecca and loved them both. Just be grateful you were a part of the scene and we have these amazing records to listen to still.

@Sal1675 Actually, "Ella Weez" was another big Blackpool Mecca spin at around the same time!

@pressha11 Since I see you were, apparently only 15 in 1975 (when the VoEH was first aired), I don't think you are really in a position to comment.
I suggest you read up on the music scene you profess to be so knowledgeable about, before making a complete dick of yourself in public. (However, since ex-Wiganites have made a habit of making dicks of themselves on Youtube on a fairly regular basis, I realise this may be something of a forlorn hope...)

@nialldcrowley What a load of bollocks ha ha i went to both and Wigan play'd it first so get your imformation straight you moron!

@drwhatson Wigan made Richard Searling? Shame on him!
Nonsense! I think you'll find it was played at the forward-looking Blackpool Mecca long before the luddites in Wigan (who banned new stuff) decided to cash in on the act. Please forgive the pun.

Blackpool Mecca was so ahead of the game by 1975. Bobby Hutton, Bits n' Pieces, Deniece Chandler (aka Williams), George Benson, Earth, Wind & Fire's "Happy Feelin" alongside this Soul gem and many more. What a playlist! - and this record gets even better the older it gets! - Amazing.
