Had this acetate for about 25 years and found it in a junshop.One side is Ben E King's I Can't Break The News To Myself.It is a Shapiro Bernstein acetate so I'm assuming a UK publishers acetate to use to tout the song for either release or a cover version.(I know the Dakotas released the track on the B Side of Spider And The Fly). The problem I have is identifying the other side. I'm sure someone on here will ID it straight away but most people I have played it to have not known it.Apologies for the crackles. recorded on my Crosley burger.It is just titled My Love Come Home.

The second one is a recent buy and entitled Honey Child by Zola Taylor.It was advertised as unreleased but I'm sure she had something to do with the Platters.Does anyone know it and was it released? The hiss only comes out on the Crosley burger!!!

.....sounds like darlene love...anybody think so??

I'm pretty sure the Zola Taylor is unreleased. She was Cornell Gunter's sister and was a member of the Platters in the 50's. She was also married at one point to Frankie Lymon and there was some big todo about his will and several women claiming to have been married to him.
