Saw this on Ebay, I thought it was Canadian recording, dunno, clear hoax, or was this actually cut there, I doubt it personally...

Eddie Spencer-If This Is Love- Abbey Road Test Press

 

This item was recorded at the famous Abbey Road studios in London and this is the original, and probably only Emi disc/Acetate cut at the studio. 

 

I read somewhere that Eddie Spencer was a Jamaican, don't know how true that is but that would explain it being cut in the UK.

got to be a test press thing of the power exchange uk release from 1976 

the writing has both power exchange label no px 207 and also the power exchange only flip title power of love

There are a lot of Jamaicans in Canada.

There's quite a few in London too for that matter

Maybe so, but I reckon Mike is right on this one, its about the Power Exchange release, not about it being recorded in London.

Well it has an old London telephone number for the Abbey Road Studios on the acetate, so there's a chance it was recorded there, and is definitely for the Power Exchange release.

The original Eddie Spencer on Arc says it was recorded in Toronto, funny thing is though it has Mike Terry credits too, maybe that's just for the backing track ?. It also credits Tony Di Maria who seems to have been responsible for a lot of other Arc releases, plus some on its sister label Yorkville.

Power exchange also released quite a few other things from the same Toronto studio.

there was a great informative piece on the internet a fair while back on this whole Toronto soul thing

possibly also on a related cd notes

anyone remember the cd or site?

I'd say it was dubbed at Abbey Road.

Power exchange was an E.M.I. label, Abbey Road was an E.M.I. studio, so no real surprise there then.
