Vinyl LP pressing. The tapes for Ronnie McNeir Makes A Move were found in Mickey Stevenson's extensive master tape collection. A full new LP of classic McNeir is an absolute treat for his many soul fans; particularly in Europe where he is so admired. Ronnie recorded over twenty tracks with Mickey Stevenson's production company in 1971. Eleven of these were featured on his RCA LP Ronnie McNeir, but another ten were left in the vaults. The title track, 'Let's Make A Move' is an urgent, exciting funk sound, composed with Ronnie's frequent writing partner, Andre Moore. 'I'm Sorry' is an earlier version of 'Gone Away' which featured on the 1972 RCA Ronnie McNeir LP, without the female singer's vocal response track. 'Say You' is the Motown song first recorded by the Monitors in 1965. It has a more laid-back treatment here, giving it a whole new dimension. We issued the single version on a Kent Select 45 in 2022; both versions are featured on the CD. Another re- envisaged Motown number is 'The Girl's Alright With Me' which features Hodges, James, Smith & Crawford's backing vocals - as do other tracks on this album. Surprisingly, Bob Dylan's 'Blowing In The Wind' is also covered; in a pleasing, jaunty treatment. 'My Day Will Come' is a slow-burning number Ronnie co-wrote with his wife Mona. It is one he is particularly proud of and has been picked up by modern soul DJs as a potential crossover hit. 'Tell Your Mama' is a sensuous, Marvin Gaye-influenced groove, while 'East Side, West Side' is more streetwise, dealing with the social problems that face many young people. As a multi-instrumentalist, heavily influenced by jazz, it comes as no surprise that Ronnie would record two jazz / soul instrumental jams which he simply named 'Ronnie's Bag #1' and 'Ronnie's Bag #2'. The tracks are keyboard-lead, piano and possibly organ - or more likely one of the early synthesisers that Ronnie pioneered. 'Ronnie's Bag #1' is more jazz-oriented, while 'Ronnie's Bag #2' goes funky. The CD comes with new publicity photos and a career overview from David Cole as featured in the In The Basement magazine
