once again andy, you deliver, chapter & verse...that had to be a fascinating conversation with a melancholy outcome...i can imagine she must have been overwhelmed, along with her family, hearing the recordings after long decades of being without a copy let alone remembering what the songs sounded like. i think she did a great job and her attributes should be respected...you have managed to dot the i's and cross the t's..as only you can do...and yes, it is a brilliant tune, typical of the underdog, making a pitch in the shadow of motown,..one seriously rare record that slipped through the cracks but as a result of its lease of life across the pond, has effected a heartwarming story.

nice story cheers

Well done Andy Rix :thumbsup:
