Northern Soul Uk Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Hi folks and a happy new year. I have just picked up this tune out of a charity shop and wondered if it was obscure or not? It's really nice whatever, and the reason i bought it was because of the writer and not having heard it before. 'Wayne Fontana - Come on home' on Fontana 1966 written by 'J Edwards' (Jackie Edwards)? It's an excellent mid tempo dancer. I have a sneaky feeling that I have heard it before maybe by Jackie Edwards? might be wrong but seems familiar. Any info appreciated. OK, just found out it's not obscure, loads around for anything from £2 - £20., and Just realised it is the 'B' side of 'I feel so bad' Jackie Edwards on the UK re-release. Thanks anyway Edited January 8, 2010 by steveluigi Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Northern Soul Uk Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Thanks for your help, It is a really nice version of the Jackie Edwards track, and whether it's not rare or obscure, still worth the 50p that I paid for it I reckon. It'll stay in the box for a bit. Are there any other 'Cover' versions of Soul classics that were released on major UK labels does anyone know?
