I don't think it's a problem with Chicago for the most part. One of the biggest airports in the
U.S. (O'Hare) probably doesn't have many international flights leaving and the mail is just sitting there.
I would go with B. There's a few artists who tend to "fluff" their resume.
I know of a female singer who remade a song from 1964 in 1966 and claims she wrote the song and owns the copyrights
to the song on you tube. I'm not going to mention names to spare her from further embarrassment.
Both Record World and Cashbox reviewed "Jan Jan" by the Fabulous Counts (Moira #103) in their December 21st, 1968 issues.
It doesn't make much sense for Belita Woods (Moira #106) to have been released 2 years earlier.
Jack Montgomery did go a little higher on the WVON chart a few weeks later but did much better on another Chicago station (WBEE) going up to
#17. Kellmac #1010 and #1012 must have been pressed in very small quantities.
While this is definitely "Ain't No Big Thing", the lyrics are different. In the Radiants version, the lead singer has a feeling he's losing his girl, in this version,
the lead has already found someone new -
Just to clear up a few minor details-
1) Charles Johnson did not produce "Starting All Over Again" for Mel and Tim.
2) "Backfield In Motion" was released 3 years before "Starting All Over Again"
