Guest Michael Higgins Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Heard this great instumental on a wigan casino CD a few weeks back. At soul revolution heard the vocal version. Two questions - Who's it by and has anyone got a sound clip? ta very much "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 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 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

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? "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. Edited March 10, 2007 by mel brat
Guest mel brat Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 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 Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) may have been the hotel version 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...) Edited March 10, 2007 by mel brat

Sidra's Theme - Instrumental - Sidra - 13620"] 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 Edited March 10, 2007 by 45cellar

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...

(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... Edited March 10, 2007 by mel brat

Guest Ollie Lailey Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Cheers. It turns out its the sad sad day version that I heard, Larry hammond.
45cellar Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) This is an original. Love this tune... Hi Roccia Thanks for posting, I knew that I had seen the Vocal on a blue label. Edited March 14, 2007 by 45cellar
Val (Chunky) Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Is there a 60's version with a different vocal to Sidra's Theme?
Tony Smith Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Plus the earlier slightly harder relese of the vocal: Sidra 9006 RONNIE & ROBYN - EACH TIME / AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME (I'LL STAY)
