Picked this up last year. Didn't see it on the Virtue discog. Bit of a rarity out of Philly. I know it also saw a later release by the artist on his own label, but not seen another copy on Virtue.

The Virtue label numbering was all over the place and the label operated for a relatively broad time period,  not surprising that it could still throw up something like this. Although I must say this tune sounds like an Irish lounge crooner auditioning for the Love Boat.

Did this come out on sha fue or something like that

^{A lot of the numbering was related to the date of the issue of the actual record}

Meaning as in the above record - V10477

released on October 1st 1977?

 

I didn't know that one...

Are there any Virtue discographies other than Dave Rimmer's?

Lol, hear what you mean by lounge singer, but I really like it, and judging by the $ that the later issue goes for, I'm not alone.

Ah, yes, that makes sense Steve - 1977 then. tx.

 Yes Mark, Looks like the Virtue copy was '77, whereas the artst then tried it on his own label? Sha Fue in '79. Also came out on a Sha Fue LP in '81.

John, yes 4th October 1977. Check a few others they follow the same pattern.

i understand what he means, it's a jazzy / jazz type of vocal. not my thing but i understand why some people would like it.
