Oddly the originals of the issue have Three Soul Music on the label, where as the demo has Four Souls Music. The label was owned by Al Holiday, who lived in Phittsburg and Johnny Worlds from New York. Al has now passed away and Johnny Worlds has disappeared. Although it is addressed as Phittsburg, I would think that it was recorded in New York, as Robert Banks is credited on arrangements and Johnny did the production. Dave's other recording 'Baby Hard Times' has J.J. Jackson on arrangements, so this leads me to believe that Dave Love was a native of N.Y. and the Phittsburg connection was mainly financial.

That's a shame, was hoping to catch up with as many of the old Scottish crew as possible over the weekend

Has anyone ever seen a copy of The Doc Kyle Orch instrumental on Deto 2884 or is that another urban myth
