I don't believe there is. Homer had (around) 5 US Minit 45's released + Minit picked up the rights to his pre-Minit recordings HOWEVER he was mainly known as a song writer. The compilation CD of all his pre Stax work that EMI put out in the UK included about 20 tracks (not counted them exactly, that number is from memory & a guess). So assuming he had around 10 cuts released on vinyl in the US in the mid 60's (Minit used some tracks twice on his 45s) then about half the cuts on that UK CD would have been 'vaulted' tracks prior to the CD escaping.

I GUESS that "Ain't Found Nothin To Beat" was a demo he made at Minit for another artist to record OR it was a track destined for a Minit LP that never actually materialised.

I recall Blues & Soul doing an article on Homer around 69/70 (I have the actual edition at home in the UK) and it confused me at the time.

I had spent 2/3 years, dancing in mod & soul clubs (+ @ niters) to Homer's records  --  Hooked By Love; A Lot Of Love & 60 Minutes Of Your Love (all massive UK club plays) & yet the article focused on his "Lady Of Stone" which I hardly knew.
