in a bunch of eastbound discographies there is a 3rd unique blend title, on the same number 626 as "mommy and daddy":

626 - Unique Blend - Sorrow / Won't Be Needing Someone New - 1974

This doesn't actually exist does it? I'm guessing it came from the company files somehow. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I would have thought either Ady, Tony or Dean would be the best people to ask as they've been through those vaults and released a few CD's of Westbound stuff for Ace. I also don't think either side of this supposedly released singe were on any of them as unreleased tracks

Going slightly off track, but I bought all the reel to reel tapes (of varying sizes & thicknesses) of "Hunza" records of Toledo, and one of them was "Unique Blend - Yes I'm In Love", haven't listened to it yet, but not sure what the link is, if any - just surprised that it was there

Don't know them, we have them listed too but no tapes or ever heard of them. Their Gonna Spread The News was unissued until we put it out on a couple of CDs and is a brilliant 70s dancer; it's on the Westbound Detroit Northern Soul CD. Doesn't look like either of those titles though.

Ady

I think U B or Houston Outlaws were rumoured to be from Toledo.

unique blend are from toledo, at least one of the members was in the creations on mel-o-dy.

thanks ady, I assume it doesn't exist.

Is this the same outfit that recorded the mid eighties soulful mid tempo power ballad - My Ship Wont Sail Without You on the white and light black Clicque label.

I doubt it. The clique record is a new york record from '85. Probably also not related, but there is another modern soul record by a georgia unique blend from '84 on the RWO label, it has a decent ballad side.

Thanks Bob.

Never seen/heard of it, PS Yes Ady "Spread the news" was excellent. Pity they never got to make an LP for Eastbound.

Yes, I have the Mommy and Daddy on Promo or are you talking about the ''Sorrow'' title?

Brain - sent you a PM
