This is NOT my 40th birthday! It's a good friend of mine, Noah Schaeffer's birthday. I am a sprightly 33 years old!

You showbiz types are soooo sensitive about age 😉

Numero have put out (or are about to) a Thelma Jones 45 (see scan below) ... anyone know if this is a previously unissued cut (I guess it is) ... if so, what year was it laid down / what original label did it come from ( it says on the label that it was cut down in Florida, I guess sometime in the 70's) ??

Info from Numero above. Also, if you can, please edit the title of this thread so it has the correct information

Thanx Eli, so it's from 1972, was cut in little local Florida studio & never assigned to any label. Looks interesting, now just have to get to hear it.
