Saundra Mallett/Edwards 1965 recording True Fine Boy

[woodward]

DFTMC shows a title True Fine Boy by Saundra
Edwards that had its recording completed at Hitsville 2/9/65. DFTMC also indicates a second version for which the recording details are unknown.

Has anyone ever heard this or does anyone know whether it has been released on any compilation or collection?

Would seem that if it exists it's still in the vaults. I have the Funks band track with no vocals.

Ifyou look at DFTMC it clearly says

Saundra Edwards; recorded Hitsville, completed 09-Feb-65 ; produced by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier ; [v1]
[pressing date unknown] [acetate]; LP [[M): JD 337 [band track]

Oct-65 [acetate]; 45 [[M): Audiodisc [band track]
Saundra Edwards; recording details unknown ; [v2]
[pressing date unknown] [acetate]; 45 [[M): [no catalogue number] [alternate band track]

To my mind it says that there are details of a band track being recorded of which an acetate exists [[this is probably what everyone has on dodgy cassette tape) the second entry refers to a second acetate of which there is no record .

When we researched the Elgins anthology there was no sing of a vocal of this track after exhaustive searches.

I think I saw the acetate of the band track. But, I never saw any evidence of a vocal having been recorded for it.

This site seems to have had it at one point--listed as Funk Bros./Saundra Mallett--but it's now out of stock:

If you listen to the sample, it's all Funk Bros. only--no Saundra.
