The song was registered at one time with BMI (I've checked) and also with it's inclusion in the Soul Harmony Singles Book one would assume that one of either Beckman, Hunt or Kline (or all three of them) had a copy in their possession at one time.

It is definitely there on the Harry Moon. Looking at my scans I posted up earlier, this mark is not visible other than as the faintest of specks. In fact, to be honest, I have never noticed this before - it's so small and just looks like a mark on the label from wear and tear. However, on close examination, it is definitely there and I took a closer pic of it, as below. It is pretty much exactly the same position as on the picture of the copy above. I bought mine off George Mahood maybe 18 months/2 years ago. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pga1 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I find this really strange. This tune which ain't that good is causing so much drama. If it was a good soul tune fair enough but all you lot are creating some kind of kudos about a garage type of tune (Carolina beach type of tune) I mean would you buy it really and sit at home and play it ( meep f...king meep) yes it may be dodgy. Ooh it has philly connections. Boot , unreleased, only one original copy etc etc. let's get some soul back on here and let the ooh it's rare must be good clan get on with it ( kings new clothes) I love the people who find real soul tunes £5 -5,000 tunes lets hear them. Why if my mate plays a great tune no one cares but if dj X plays it later it's fantastic. Could go on now with a rant about new people- returnees who somehow tend to dictate what we listen to.

Tlscapital Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Some say music IS first and I (kinda) agree but it doesn't necessary mean "music is all !" To me (IMHO) that is. I can have the music in my head and sing out loud under the shower to the inconvenience of the wife, the cat, the dog and the neighbors. Others listen (rather to hide the outside world sound/buzz/noise) with headphones to MP3Z and still call it music !? I don't know about supposed louder than loud gigs with DJ's and their computer and other machines that kills everything that keeps us alive (quote)... So to say, I'm not to sure to dig 'road runner' for it's musicality and doubt it will ever achieve "anthem" status on any scene. Still I find such thread interesting from a collector's (I don't collect the Jenges stuffs to make it clear) point of view. Music and records are an odd universe in 4D's at times and to read meaningless supposed misleading points, are just bringing it to the real world; in 3D's: the naive, the liar and the cheater.
