"As long as you love me (I'll stay)" also by Ronnie and Robyn and also on Sidra. The technology is against me here, but if noone's posted it by Monday, PM me and I'll email it to you as a soundfile.

[Guest Ollie Lailey]

thanks mate! Do you like the record? would this be considerd an Oldie? resonably new to the scene so i dont know the history of some of these records?

[Guest Michael Higgins]

Very much an oldie, of the Wigan era (before my time).

I've just checked and I've already loaded the track, so if it hasn't arrived in your mailbox in the next few minutes, PM your email and I'll send you it directly. It's never too late to p**s off the neighbours

"Sidra's Theme" (the instrumental) has NO artist listed on the original (SIDRA) label. Ian Levine was the first to play it in late 1973, covered up as "The End Of The World" by The Explosions(!) before it was bootlegged. The vocal version was played a few months later I think, in 1974. At least that's when I first heard it played. Both were eventually released in the UK on John Anderson's 'Grapevine' label.

may have been the hotel version

[Guest mel brat]

Is that an original copy? (mine is a white demo. Styrene) but Kev Roberts' 'N.S. Top 500' book says issues came in red (similar to the Impact label) or BLUE, which I'd never heard of before...

[Guest mel brat]

Wow! What is THIS? Never heard this before! Sounds more soulful than Ronnie & Robyn anyway! (I've sampled 'Sidra's Theme' myself in 'garageband', but the clip is too big to upload...)

Both are Original & on Styrene, I don't know if a Blue Label exists, I think that the Vocal has a Blue Label.

As you say it just says Instrumental, known as Ronnie And Robyn, but may be Session Musicians

Funny, but I bought this C.1975 - then only played it about three times until comparitively recently. But it sounds great now somehow! Also, didn't I read somewhere that Dale Warren had something to do with Eddie Singleton of Shrine fame? His nephew or something? I've forgotten...

Yes, they're undoubtedly session musicians - probably from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra! as I can't imagine any Detroit ghetto kids studying the harp! (How DID they afford to pay 'em all?)

Re. the label, I was thinking PLAIN blue, but he's probably referring to the Blue & Black 'stars' labels (on vinyl) I'm pretty sure the Ronnie & Robyn vocal came in that format, as I recall seeing one or two years ago. Not the instrumental though...

The Original is "Blow Out The Candle" which is unusual in that it has 2 ZTSC Stamped Matrix on this side

"ZTSC121656-1A--------ZTSC121655-1A"

Sidra's Theme "ZTSC121603-1A"

[Tony Smith]

Plus the earlier slightly harder relese of the vocal: Sidra 9006 RONNIE & ROBYN - EACH TIME / AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME (I'LL STAY)

Right Tony, and Sidra 9011 has a very nice flip too. "Step Into My Heart"...
