Released on President in 1970 here first then on Contempo in 75

1967 is the date of release apparently. Mr Romance copyrighted in 1965, the flip copyrighted in 1973 apparently. I do agree it is a 60s release and the flip simply not copyrighted until later. Mr Romance has been on playlist since the mid 80s, not a recent play. notes from 45cat... Track A Copyright as Mister Romance w m & (c) Joseph B. Wheeler 20OCT65 EU908579 Track B Copyright as What Can I Do (Without You)? w m & (c) Charles "Sonny" Parker 12FEB73 EU385629 (Parker copyrighted two additional Titles on 12FEB73) Track B is not in the BMI.com catalog for Joseph Bernard Wheeler, so the label credit appears to be a typo/mistake. Den Music was associated with D.C.'s Lillian Claiborne Although Freddie Perren is best known for his 1970s & 1980s work, he had a couple of mid-1960s Arranger credits with other D.C. groups including Cashmeres [Washington DC] + The Chancellors [Washington DC]

He got audio from Randy Wood, legitimately or otherwise doubt anyone really knows. The instrumental had never seen daylight prior to the Soul Fox release and the Wigan cut. I doubt any of those who were due royalties got their dues.

Welcome to another mix, a bit of a bumper one with 37 tracks. Usual look at some recent and upcoming Soul music. We take another peek at the Kent Cd The Groove Machine and the genius of Earl Young, the forthcoming Kent CD taking another look at the Hot Bed of 70s Soul, Atlanta. It kicks off with a James Brown track recently unearthed in the vaults, a track from Shirley Jones latest project reflecting on the work of The Jones Girls and the usual mix of independent labels, Jai Alai, Soul 4 Real, Soul Junction and Soul Direction, Kent, Cannonball, Big Man Records, Hit & Run and Epsilon Records.

If I didn't have these I'd buy them. Shame if they went to the tip, as said quality mags.

Not on Mirwood if the memory serves me right, Soul Fox boot with instrumental on the flip.

Recent discussion about a soul club but best not to go there again.

Nice gesture Mark

I agree he would have been shocked if he read some of the abuse and trolling that has been done. The faith should be spread and youngsters encouraged but no one will stand by nor should they and accept the behaviour shown.

I only assume as Freddie Perren is well known for his work with DC artists/acts

I assume its a DC label

I’ve sent him a message to let him know mate.

I still do my homework when spending a tenner, must be stupid to spend £500 and not do anything and simply trust the seller.

Foolish Idiots and their money easily parted

The highest previous sale on discogs was £90 so where or how did the seller currently offering one come up with a price of £400?

The lack of an Alco stamp and delta number is a puzzle as well, they used that system at the time

The rumour of an A&M release has been around for decades. Never seen one and don’t know of anyone else either. I’d like to see the source for the inclusion in an A&M 774 listing, was it wishful thinking or did the listing come from the record company? Maybe it was slated for release but never was like many on other labels?

Yeah agree with that, don’t think it needs to be on the forum at all when you are just redirected from there and with nothing to read there
