I have had that Tri-Ems for a decade or so too, was a massive disappointment when it arrived vs the vocal version but given the other instros on the label should have expected that really
<<<Is this the same group on Mira who did I Was Bewitched?>>>
The Mira group is The Tams under an alternate name
The Paris Tower is a bunch of white FL teens from a speck of a town called Wildwood in the middle of a huge morass of swamps and lakes
I have that Benny Davis on Glades, yet to see another
Also have a clean Margaret Glover but pressed off centre so needs placing on turntable, but silly rare so hey
Also the Liz Mims, Henry H, James Lewis, Joe Reed, Kissy D, just let that Othello go
Del Rays is tough but I sold 2 clean copies in the last few months, there's another still in NYC, then other than that suspect they have all made it to Europe unless GG has/kept one. Most won't know Kip who put out the Paris Tower comp as he doesn't touch soul other than to flip it but he is a big garage collector (in joke there, he's usually the only person taller than me at record fairs over here ). If you find any with the inserts then congrats, the US's main sleeve collector has a standing offer of 4 figures each for several of them, GL!
I own that Chuck Vallent acetate now, and his other equally uptempo unreleased one too, plus the Peak 45 and his other vocal 45 also, so as far as know have everything that he ever cut.
(Also have an unreleased Marva Whitney acetate using that Tear Drops backing track with a deep soul unreleased flip too)
And here's the uptempo flip, you'll recognize the backing as used on a couple of other Forte releases but she takes it by the scruff of the neck and by a minute in is just letting loose. The photos are from her very last ever show, the 2nd time we were lucky enough to put her on stage - Dig Deeper on New Year's Eve 2010, and yes that's Billy Prince of the Precisions dueting with her, beyond great.

Reposting as saw people cannot open the links to my FB page, here's one side of the unissued Marva acetate, the backing track is an earlier and far better version of a later song she did but this is the real deal

Even though Marva's last show ever was for us in NYC (she was amazing) still bow to Connie's version of Ball of Fire, her audible breathing even as she accentuates is beyond special. That said, think Marva's best recording is an unissued acetate that lucky enough to own, one side uses an uptempo Forte backing track, both are off the hook, if ever get round to doing issues it's on the list.
Took a clean copy to 2 consecutive Austin Record Fairs, everyone skipped right by it until traded to a person who ironically see all the time here on the East Coast.
