Ortheia Barnes - Never Ever Leave Me / What Should I Do

The sublime mid-tempo soul of original Funk Brothers Dave Hamilton and Joe Hunter's 1964 composition 'Never Ever Leave Me' was recently featured on a Kent CD, but for this exclusive 45 we have used the alternate version with added percussion for a more prominent dance beat. This was previously only available on an original acetate that sold for well over £1000. The flip is the much talked about instrumental version of Little Ann's 'What Should I Do', also known by it's cover-up name Rose Valentine's 'When He's Not Around' in the heyday of Wigan Casino. This has never been issued in any format until now.
