I cannot believe this song was held back until 2002...

Any Philly fan has just GOT to have this....

I feel like a 21 year old again.....

Let us know what album and where this appears, dear John.

This is the only track to be released off the original Philly recorded album (so far). It was included on the recent Philly recorded track comp CD on (UK) Expansion records (CD has Philadedphia in it's title but I can't remember the rest even though I have it).

However, compilers who work direct for Universal UK and have been putting together comp Motown CD's for release over the last 12+ months are looking into using at least one other cut off the album in the near future.

I didn't see this post until today....there are just so many threads here these days....

So JSmith, why just the one!! I am sure we all want the whole album.

It's a fab track, I love it

We did a complete album with Jermaine not long after he got married as Hazel was with him in the studio.
I must find the giant enlargement of a photo taken with him and I!!!!

For some unexplained reason, Berry rejected the album at that time and any begging and pleading fell on deaf ears in more ways than one.
Hopefully with the help of HW it will finally surface!!!

Bobby.

You posted the picture before...and I kept a copy cos it blew my mind. If you can't find it, let me know!!

Can you tell us the other tracks..

John,
the main reason only one extra track of the Philly CD is planned for release at present is.....
The guys (girl) at UK Universal havn't gotten to hear any of the cuts on the unissued album as yet (it appears it takes ages between a request for a cut to be released from the tape vaults & the tape actually being delivered to the UK with permission to utilise any cuts).
ALSO.....as they are compiling comp CD's, they mix & match various artists so only 1 cut per artist is the norm.

Keep trying!!
