Can you identify the track?

I'm guessing called "Eyes of love" or "Looking in the eyes of love" and I'm told it comes from Detroit. There are two names on the label: Yvonne Stevens & Ralph (something - looks like it could be Woothy / Woolly / Woodly). The song sounds really familiar - was it recorded by someone else?

All help appreciated.

Don't know that version-but it should sound familiar...

it's from the Opera "Carmen"

and it's called Habanera

The tune is the famous aria from Habanera (Carmen : Bizet) "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle." ("Love is a rebellious bird")

I have Habanera in my music library - just been giving it a listen. Of course, no wonder it sounded so familiar! Excellent - well spotted the pair of you! Much like The Toys and their use of Bach's Minuet in G major...

Artist & label?

Excellent - thanks for the practical input, those that actually had something to contribute.

As for personal opinions, each to their own.

Now, anyone have information about the origins of the song/acetate & the two names mentioned earlier?

Err! Thought the cat was out of the bag on its id so never gave it another thought. It did remind me how Baby Boy on golden world stats a bit like Blue Moon tho.

The only thing I know is that I can make out one and a half names on the disc. No idea if these people are directly connected to the music or not.

If you can shed any sort of light on the track - who/where/when/what label or studio - it would be greatly appreciated...

The musicians sound a little like a few of the late '60s Detroit musicians. So, IF we find out that this recording was made in Detroit, I won't be terribly shocked. But sound can fool you sometimes, and people like Richard Tee in New York, sometimes 'simulated "The Detroit Sound" several times, very successfully. I'll be curious to find out who made this recording, and where it was made.

I think if I read correctly it is a sporting term, Darts (if you can call darts a sport). "Good arrow" as in good shot, or good one.

never mind 'good arrer' its the 'knuckle draggers' that caught my attention. Who are 'knuckle draggers'? Does that refer to anyone who does not like the same songs as you? I can't stand people with that sort of attitude...and a huge part of the reason I don't like going out much anymore...the scene seems to be full of self righteous people who slag people off for what they choose to listen to, or what clothes they wear etc

It is about time the insults, simply because someone else doesn't share the same views were knocked on the head. By all means comment on the record but why drag the conversation down by insulting anyone who doesn't care for it?
