Mick Holdsworth Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 I have an 8 inch Audiodisc acetate but have never been able to identify the song. It is an Instrumental, and has Mamie Galore "Too Many Menories" instrumental on the flip. It came as one of two Acetates, the other one alco being an 8 inch Audiodisc single (this one was a single sided disc with the backing to "Nobody's Baby Am I"). I've had them about 12 years or so, and always felt the unnamed inst was connected to Maurci / St. Lawrence / Thomas or even a Topper backing, but I've been through everything I could find, and not hit on it. Audio Clip here . . . https://voca.ro/168gmMK5ScaB Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mick 1
Kesalocasoul Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Could it be a guide backing track for (You Better) Do It Right Now by Mamie P. Galore - Sack 4361/No Right To Cry released in 1967? https://www.discogs.com/release/11373966-Mamie-P-Galore-Do-It-Right-Now-No-Right-To-Cry/image/SW1hZ2U6MzgwMzI3NzQ=
Mick Holdsworth Posted September 18, 2022 Author Posted September 18, 2022 I think that was one I couldn't hear a clip of anywhere, so it is a possibility. Thanks.

The melody is different, too. It does definitely sound like it was a Chicago recording, rather than a Dave Hamilton Detroit recording. But, I have no idea to which song it belongs.
Mick Holdsworth Posted September 19, 2022 Author Posted September 19, 2022 Thanks for that Robb, that's one I can forget about. The more I listen to "Truth" by Monique. the more I feel it could be the same band and similar instrumentation, albeit a different song. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I'm tending towards an abandoned Maurci song, or if not, a St Lawrence recording, which would link it to its other side "Too Many Memories". I've just realised I'd never considered Satellite records, quite few I've not heard there, Just hoped it was going to be easy to locate its vocal, if one ever existed. 1
Kesalocasoul Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 I bow to Robbk's greater knowledge and superior listening skills! If I can, I'll forward the Mamie Galore track by pm. It was featured on the Doris Duke and Friends LP on UK Manhattan, which famously did not include Doris Duke, nor any of her friends (as far as I am aware).
