Mick Sway Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 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? https://www.popsike.com/Ronnie-McCainnorthern-soul-45-on-TriodeThis-Timehear/390308535814.html Thanks Mick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

NEV Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 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 . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Russ Vickers Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think it was first played out at Bretby when Chris Anderton did the Soul Nights there. Best Russ 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm sure this got played here and there in the late 80s / early 90s. Possibly in East Anglia - Lowestoft nighters, perhaps? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest uroffal Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) 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.

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 Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Benji Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 a lot of people have it in their boxes overe here in germany. 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.

Bossfourpart1 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
