Anne Murray – Who’s Leaving Who (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

Re-Rip Newly Remastered!

Originally I posted this one on June 29, 2010. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon Super 30 stylus. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!

“Who’s Leaving Who” [sic] is a song written by Jack White and Mark Spiro, first recorded by Canadian country singer Anne Murray in 1986. It achieved a bigger popularity in Europe when it was covered by British Hi-NRG singer Hazell Dean in 1988.

The song was first recorded by Anne Murray for her 1986 album Something to Talk About. The song was released as the album’s second single, following her Canadian and US number one country single, “Now and Forever (You and Me)”. The single failed to reach the same level of success, peaking at number 93 on the Canadian singles chart, and failing to chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its biggest success was on the adult contemporary charts, peaking at number 15 in Canada and number 26 in the U.S.
