Here in their rarest format, the three famous records that during the 1970' and early 80's, just before 8am on Sunday morning these same three 45's were played to finish off the Wigan Casino Saturday Allnighter...

Jimmy Radcliffe, Long after tonight is all over (Stateside Demo)
Tobi Legend, Time will pass you by (Mala Issue)
Dene Parrish, I'm on my way (Laurie Demo)

It was the last chance you had to dance before nipping around the corner for a coffee and a swim at Wigan baths, and a signal to all that another great night at the famous Wigan Casino was about to end.

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to enjoy some fantastic nighters there. If you can sit still, close your eyes and imagine being back there, the only thing missing is a thousand plus soulies, hand clapping their way through them. KTF Baz 'Sharpy'

I've collected, DJ'd and danced to Northern Soul since going to Wigan Casino in the late 1970's. These recordings are made so that long into the future, anyone can visit YouTube and continue to learn about and listen to this fantastic music, after I'm gone. They were recorded in the USA at a period in time when sadly overlooked. Only to be discovered and played in the 1970's soul clubs of the UK, and now played in many venues in countries all over the world. Many are recorded on obscure record labels, that simply never got airplay and the small number of records that were pressed, just disappeared. Hence their rarity.

If you wish to find out more about the fantastic and varied world of Northern Soul, search out the website - SoulSource. I warn you though, once down the rabbit hole, you could be hooked. I have no affiliation to the site, but there you will find a wealth of knowledge from dedicated lovers of the music. Together they know every artist, band member, pressing plant, label, label owner and origin of every track. Some so knowledgable that they can even tell you who the third saxophonist on the left was on some of the recordings. Others on the rare soul scene though may argue that it was his brother! Whoever is right, Northern Soul fascinates and satisfies many over 50years on.
