This is another tune that used to be a £20 quid record, where the last few copies seemed to have tipped for £150 plus.

Does anyone know if it's because its been played out?

got spins by gasher in aberdeen 4/5 years ago

Hammered in various places for the last decade to be honest.

Would have said it's pretty well established now .

Fantastic cross over tune ..infact it is a tune i would point in anyones direction when asking for "what is cross over" ?

Especially those people who dismiss cross over as nothing but boring chin stroker music

I remember playing it last yr at York charity weekender and John Parker came to the decks and gave it the thumbs up ..

Maybe because it's on the same label as Johnny Hunnicut ,a tune John has championed over the yrs .

I think it was first played out at Bretby when Chris Anderton did the Soul Nights there.

I'm sure this got played here and there in the late 80s / early 90s. Possibly in East Anglia - Lowestoft nighters, perhaps?

i have a 7" jasina acetate of this with a different flip called the waiting game its really good also,,unfortuanatly its wrecked vinyl lifting managed to record it though and got another acetate made...

I seem to remember Pat Brady spinning this in ye olde staffordy days

Not sure when first played, but was known early '80s (I've been after one since 1982 and it has always eluded me). Fantastic record.

Flip is a pretty decent dancer and has had some plays I think here and there. Would love to hear the alt flip of that acetate though.

HI Steve

I wondered where that had gone ...one out of Rose Marie McCoy's basement along with Ronnie Forte (Abtone) ... I can't remember what the flip was like but recall it had some damage

My memory says this was pioneered by Pat Brady circa January 1983

Andy

the very same one mate from roses basement i think the different flip is better than this time i'm gone,, i made sure i kept this one after that trip....

Fab tune

Oops .. Sorry Steve ... for some reason I had it in my mind that Rob and I picked it up the trip after you went on. I guess I saw it at Rob's and the passage of time has distorted my memory

If you're doing a clip I wouldn't mind hearing it again

Cheers

Is that because it's too common .lol

yes mate was when me and rob went ,,the same trip we found switch around and ronnie forte and jean wells instrumental,,bloody good trip that was...

andy can you pm me your email and i'll send it to ya..

found this in a junk shop 30 odd years ago always thought it was a great record ,but didnt fit in with what was being played back then.sadly sold it to rob smith with loads of other records for 200 quid. i think i might have lost out on that deal /oh well

Steve was kind enough to send this clip over of the alternate flip on his acetate. It's a nice tune and has given permission for me share on here.

It's strange to find a record you haven't had

Lovely tune - personaly I'd rather have it than "too much", good tune though it is.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys.

I was gonna say this was about before Crossover was a twinkle in Rod Dearloves eye.

i got one from andy dyson for a tenner early 90`s after gettin it on a tape from john benson..i think andy had a few copies back then

I used to spin it very regularly at the Griffin in '97/'98

That's correct. Had a handfull of copies over the years and found them all locally. Though the last one I had was about 10 years ago. Nice record but that's it. Nothing really outstanding.

I'm sure this got played here and there in the late 80s / early 90s. Possibly in East Anglia - Lowestoft nighters, perhaps?

I certainly used to play it out in Norwich at the Iron mongers PH and at the Norwich Backstreet nights .

Still a great record, my mate Richard has a copy too.

It has been lying low for a while now though.

cheers Frank

I bought this from Rod for next to nowt when Crossover was being 'invented' in the mid/late 80's

I knew it had had a few spins at Stafford prior to this too

Was always going to be a monster............we just had to be patient

knew that i'd played this out. after checking playlists i'd posted (not this site) finally found it, Jan 2008 at bonnyrigg soul nite. honestly doesn't seem that long ago but think that was my last dj spot although i'm meant to be coming out of retirement in a couple off months.

That's correct.

Finally we agree on sth..lets mark that red on the calender LOL ..hope you are fine mate, was great catching up in n¼rnberg, hopefully soon again

...and longer Gareth....we used to play it at the Detroit Academicals nights in the early '80s....

...and before anyone says....yes, we were well aware it's NY and not Detroit.....

...we made plenty of exceptions for exceptional tunes...

Edited February 3, 201213 yr by Wrongcrowd

great track always played it out, really surprised about the £150 tho, payed about £20 for mine i think

i got one from andy dyson for a tenner early 90`s after gettin it on a tape from john benson..i think andy had a few copies back then

Mine was from down that basement in Manchester - around 2 - 3 quid.

Oh yes, Goldmine Records, that's the place, they must have had a few copies in as my mate Kev Briscoe told me about it at the time.

Just picked up on this thread, probably was played by Steve Smith as Geoff Alsopp bought a copy from Rudzi around that time for £5
