In the last two decades, Little Ann’s music has gone from being almost unheard to celebrated widely across the world. Initially known only as a footnote for having one side of one Ric-Tic single in 1968, the discovery and playing of her acetate of ‘What Should I Do’ at Wigan Casino in the late 70s meant her name become important to rare soul fans (when it was revealed that Little Ann was the real singer of the song erroneously attributed to Rose Valentine at the time).

The version of "What Should I Do" is the version that myself and Andy "Tats" Taylor got in 1990 The version you put out initially was new to my ears, not as though it makes any difference I guess. There both fantastic just as all her other unreleased stuff and very proud alongside Andy in unearthing it all and from a lovely man Dave Hamilton. Shame both Anne and Dave didn't live to see their life's work hit the world of music with great impact.
