My copy of the mini LP is for sale. No cover unfortunately. Is a bit of background noise despite ex appearance - would imagine a manufacturing issue.

Or I have the acetate for sale if interested

From my sheet music memorabilia sales page. Tricky one to sell for obvious reasons...

Stock back in of this mammoth reference book, an essential for all Scepter-Wand collectors. Order now and further info at A Nickel And A Nail via the link https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/scepter-wand-forever-steve-guarnori Steve Guarnori traces the history of the first US label to be run by a female: Scepter Records and its subsidiary labels. The story details the growth of Scepter in the 1960s in New York with signings like Dionne Warwick, B.J. Thomas and a host of others, through the early days of disco music in the 1970s, and to the company's eventual demise in 1976. This book features the stories of the artists, and the people involved in the company, including a heavy focus on soul and R&B output. Scepter's success with acts like The Shirelles, Dionne Warwick, B.J. Thomas, B.T. Express, The Kingsmen and others was mirrored by many more non-sellers and flops. The book explores the hits and the misses, the labels that were distributed by Scepter, the artists, and the company’s story. Including comments from many of the people involved with the label over its existence (502 pages, paperback, new).

Anybody have any info on this recording or the singer / group / band generally? A couple of brief refs in the Carolina Times newspaper archives 1964 and 1967, but that's about it. Pretty desperate for any info, no matter how limited. Cheers in advance Mark
