Terri Bryant/Pat Lewis/Genie

[Geronimo]

Morning. 

Hope you don't mind me asking what may seem an anal question. 

Any of you learned folk know what the true story over the Pat Lewis Goldmine release of Terri Bryant's wonderful Verve release of Genie was?

I seem to remember something about a lost master tape, also another tale that a certain entrepreneur just brought her into the studio to cut a like for like recording.

Another that she was originally in the backing vocals to give the release credibility. 

Unsure If this was confirmed. 

In anticipation,thank you for taking the time to respond. 

Ade.
