Help Needed - Mystery Acetate

[George G]

I have an unlabelled acetate that I'm trying to see if it was ever released. It sounds like about 1970/1. Female lead, male backing. It's a midfast soul sound with a little bit of funk but pretty primitive sounding. I don't have the ability to make a sound file. It's in bad shape so I'm only able to listen to part of the song for now, but the end has a repeated chorus that sounds something like 'calling.....caring.....twenty one sixty nine'. The first two words have the female singing followed by the male group echoing. The words I list I'm shure aren't correct, more of a phonetic sound, as I said the disc is in bad shape, and not recorded/mastered that well and hard to hear clearly. The tempo and feel sounds a bit like the "it's like thunder, lightning" part of "Knock On Wood".

Sound familiar at all?

Blimey George it could be anything from that description , have you thought about asking the person you had it from and working backwards (who he had it from ect) ? regards Endever Morse.

I'll try to make a sound clip and post it, at least what I can transfer. It came with other acetates, test pressings, and 45s from Cleveland. It may be earlier than 1971.
