It's from a compliation CD on EMI America from the late 80s. I've got it at home and will dig it out to confirm the full title. I would guess it's been long deleted and would be pretty hard to turn up now.

The take of "Long After..." is not great to be honest: pretty much every version pales compared to Jimmy Radcliffe's reading of the song.

There is however another completely brilliant unissued recording on the compilation called "Think Again" which is so good I was going to mention it in the "best previously unissued track" thread: it's as good as anything she ever did have released; right up there with "Starting To Get To Me" and "Gonna Cry Until My Tears Run Dry" etc.

It's on the current Talcum Soul 4 CD..... I believe that both Irma's take and Ratcliffe's were recorded in 1964...I love the Irma Thomas version but I guess my passion will always lean towards Jimmy Ratcliffe's.

Good version by Dusty Springfield on Everythings Coming Up Dusty LP. Worth a listen.

Funny you should mention this track as I listened to it

last night from CD. It's was featured on one of the freebie

CD's that came with the MOJO magazine called "Southern

soul" or something like that. All those tracks are usually

lifted from current available compilation CD's.

Cheers,
