Hi-Energy Anglia Remix - The Flirtations, Marsha Raven

In 1984, Dutch DJ Rutger Kroese created the Anglia Remix, a medley of two songs with sounds of Big Ben. The two songs that were used were 'Earthquake' by the Flirtations and 'Catch me' by Marsha Raven. The latter had been released unsuccessfully earlier that year, but this remix gave it a new lease of life.

An edited version of this remix would be released as a single and give Marsha Raven a top 10 hit in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, this full length remix became quite sought after.

My collection: 12" single no. 541
Found: Plaatboef, Rotterdam, 2001
Cost: 2,5 guilders
Tracks: 'Hi-Energy Anglia Remix' / 'Primitive desire' (Eastbound Expressway)
