Dave Moore Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Eddie, It's Rod Jordan on Karen. Got a few spins mid 80s. Rod Jordan was a pseudonymn for Grant Higgins who also had 45s on the label Regards, Dave 1
Eddie Hubbard Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Oh brilliant , well done Dave !!! Is it rare ?
Dave Moore Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 It's reasonably tough un for sure but not mega bucks. It's finding it in the first place. More of a collectors piece I would have thought. I think I paid about 150 about 15 years ago when I was a bit flush and looking to complete Ollie's 45s. As Master Po would say to Kwai Chang Caine ..." Be patient, dig deep Grasshopper, and it will come to you". :P Regards, Dave 1
Eddie Hubbard Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 I'm so pleased it's Detroit too, the chase is now on , it's never bloody ending is it !!

Peter99 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 anyone got a sound file? It's a bit of a balad type thing - it's ok. Peter
Mach Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 it reminds me of something else ..but pretty neat all the same

Premium Stuff Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 The other side ain't too good though Richard
Dave Moore Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Grant Higgins (Rod Jordan), was a white rock n roller. Kinda in the mould of Matt Lucas from what I can gather. His nephew wrote a book about him a few years ago. Regards, Dave 1
Benji Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 "I live in a castle" I guess not many kids in Detroit could relate to that title. I mean, how many castles are there in Detroit?

Soulfulsolutions Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Eddie, Alan Rhodes, one time Wigan Dj, put me on to this about 15 years ago, spent a decade secretly looking for a copy, only to see a couple in the past year at about 150, sadly the moment had passed and i'd moved onto other wants, hammered copies though, you may struggle to get a minty! Good to hear it again, fine tune. Regards, Lee 1

Guest Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 This used to be a sub-£30 'tape swappers' disc during the 80's...can recall seeing it as low as £15, and was fairly easy to pick up. Hunt around...you'll get it for less than three figures imo.
