New 45 - Pat Lewis - Geni - Hayley Records - The Mystery Solved

Pat Lewis - Geni / When I’m in your arms - HR 038

A new 45 release from Hayley Records, out now, release notes follow below

PAT LEWIS MYSTERY FINALLY SOLVED.

For many years it was believed that the Goldmine vinyl release of ‘Geni’, labelled as PAT LEWIS, was accurate, even though this version bore an uncanny resemblance to the TERRI BRYANT version released on Verve Records in 1967. The rumour that Pat had actually recorded her own version persisted through the decades but could not be substantiated with aural evidence – until now!

It transpires that a labelling error on tape boxes at United Sound Systems , where the original recordings had been made, had mistakenly identified Terri Bryant’s version as being made by Pat and that she had actually recorded it, as well as her own scratch vocal of ‘When I’m in your arms’ , but that these tapes were in the possession of songwriter and producer George McGregor.

Hayley Records was fortunate enough to obtain much of the George McGregor archive material before his tragic death in 2015, which included the original recordings of ‘Geni’ and ‘When I’m in your arms’ by PAT LEWIS, which are both now available for the first time on vinyl.

Release date: 22nd August 2025.
