OK, now the forum is letting me post images, so here's the label. B-side is blank.

The only info written on the label is what's in my original post. I agree that this doesn't sound exactly like the Nation Devotions, that was just the group named that that sounded the most similar, at least that I could find. It's such a generic name for a group that it could be anybody or nobody, really. If it helps put it in context, this came from the estate of a guy who worked in studios, film, TV, commercials, industrials, etc decades ago, and I also found an acetate of the record below, but with a different, presumably unreleased b-side. Now, what this guy's involvement with both records was, I don't know.

Thanks again! I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of this stuff. Note that my mp3 only has excerpts of the songs.

Hmm, ok, interesting! The label has it written as "Cowboys & Girls." A Gamble/Huff song that the Intruders also recorded. I would have to assume that the version on my acetate is a cover, rather than an original demo. I somehow doubt that a Gamble/Huff song would have a low-budget demo like this.

Hi all, I've posted here in the past as a guest. My name's Pea, I'm in San Diego CA, and I'm always digging and buying/selling interesting things. Sometimes I need help identifying exactly what I've found. I recently found this 4-song 10" acetate that has "Devotions" written on the label, along with the song titles "Shadow Of A Doubt," "Caravan," "Cowboys & Girls," and "Never Love Another." The only other thing written on the label is "#435." To my ears, the singers/style sound similar to The Devotions on Nation Records, but honestly I have no idea. Looking for input/opinions. You can listen to an mp3 with excerpts of each song here. Thanks for your help!
