Funny how you know a record for years then something comes along and knocks you off your feet, one of my favourite records is The Dolls - The Reason Why, came out on a small label first (Toy) then got picked up by a major (Loma)...what I didn't realise that it had come out on an even smaller label first, under the name of the lead singer of the group, Linda Burns. Don't know if anyone realised but this is actually a different version, the backing vocals are very different for a start. I'd have thought this was ultra rare but I got this off ebay for about £25 but it's only VG. Obviously I realise that someone will now say oh yes I had 58 copies of that before the Dolls was discovered but I just thought I'd mention it anyway as it's such a brilliant track.
