Up Periscope..... Records I recall being played in Leeds at that time ..
Corina - T Coy Too Far Gone - Adonis The Dance - DM Like This - Chip E We Rocking Down the House - House Nation - House Master Voodoo Ray - AGCG Pacific State - 808 Lets get Brutal - Ma Foom Bay - Cultural Vibe Take Some Time Out - Classic Classic Arnold Jarvis Track. Cant Get Enough - Lizz Torres Rock to the Beat - Master Reese ? and of Course B I G F U N !! This is before the 'Summer Of Love'. Then came acid and piano house and the media and the inner city kids moved on to the hip hop and RnB scenes. I feel its remained pretty much the same since. It's a shame....as these scenes could and should imo co exist in Clubland. Hate to bring up the race thing as it's a can of worms but as white people got into house the black crowd moved out. This is simply an observation, but that's way it was.

That was late '86. 4 copies apparently. The first 'house' record to blow the whole thing up in Manchester was Adonis "No Way Back". Apparently that's the one that kicked everything off. There were 6 copies in Manchester at first and it took nearly 4 weeks to get some more, after that they did around 300 copies out of one shop (on the black label press fact fans)! This was in '87. Apparently at this time they were still pretty much playing loads of different stuff down there, the house music was interspersed with alot of other stuff. Hip Hop etc. Mike Pickering started his 'new'night (didn't ask if that was hot or nude or whatever) in '87 at some point. Also the kids wanting the house music early on were the Black kids apparently. In search of a different sound more than anything I'm told, to play with the other stuff big on that scene at the time. Think this came from them all dancing down the Gallery and Legends... Predominantly Black music clubs I'm told. I presume Greg Wilson was the dj at these joints. But don't know.... Also it's worth noting that alot of the original Chi stuff never really got here. Persona stuff etc in particular. Don't know if anywhere in London/Brum/Sheffield/Glasgow or anywhere like that was getting them. Back to my hideyhole.
