Who is it?

[Pete S]

is it a US acetate?

Sounds blue eyed. Dunno who it is though, sorry. Nice track.

[Amsterdam Russ]

Yes, US. You thinking it sounds a bit British at times? I do. 'Blue-eyed' was also my first thought, but as the vocals progress, the singer seems more Hispanic. Difficult to tell definitively.

[Pete S]

Russell - I am informed that this is the B side of Lou Courtney's version of I Watched You Slowly Slip Away.

[Amsterdam Russ]

Big thanks to your source, Pete.

This is Lou Courtney singing, or it's a version of the song that's on the flip of "I watched you slowly..."? Doesn't sound like him singing.

[Amsterdam Russ]

Thanks to Pete Smith for helping source a sound file.

As much as it doesn't sound like it, the track on the acetate is in fact Lou Courtney, and it is the same version as appears on the flip of "I watched you slowly slip away".

Big thanks to those who helped.

I know that the demo of IWYSSA has 2 different versions not sure if all were issued.
