I'm working on more of my timeline and ran across something interesting. Now it might be a typo and therefore irrelevant. but wanted to share and discuss

We don't have a lot of recording date info for the Touch lp or for the song Touch. There are two dates floating around:

3/17/71 - some sources say they did background vocals on this day. the website Don't Forget The Motor City says that's the day Frank completed the recording. but states the LP version

7/20/71 - DFTMC website says this is the day Frank completed the 45 version of Touch. even though the lp had already been released in June

the single would then be released in Sept.

Now if this is accurate, then they were working to IMPROVE the lp version of the song. hmmmm not sure about the success of that lol. the 45 version seems a hot mess compared to the lp one
