This is a RARE AND UNIQUE ACETATE from THE EXCELSIOR SPRING who were MIKE FINESILVER + PETER KER who were also song writers signed to IMMEDIATE MUSIC and wrote most of LOVE SCULPTURE output, THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN and also a great PSYCH single for ELLI on Parlophone in 1967 !!! This ACETATE has MARK MUSIC typed on the label, which was a subsidiary publishing company of IMMEDIATE MUSIC and only operated between 1965-1968 !!! This is an ABSOLUTELY - AMAZING PSYCH / MOD track that should have been released !!!! THE EXCELSIOR SPRING released ONE AND ONLY single on INSTANT RECORDS I’m 1968 which was comped on the: INSTANT KARMA and PSYCHEDELIC ARCHIVES: UK PSYCHEDELIA VOL. 2 and REAL LIFE PERMANENT DREAM and WE CAN FLY 3 and THE IMMEDIATE ALTERNATIVE amongst many others !!!

| Warm Sounds - Forgive And Forget
and Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart (Unknown Artist) |
Mod / Psych !!! | This is a RARE AND GREAT - MOD / PSYCH - UNRELEASED DEMO ACETATE single that I SUSPECT IS THE ONLY ONE IN EXISTENCE !!!
This is a completely UNKNOWN and UNRELEASED track by the IMMEDIATE RECORDS / IMMEDIATE MUSIC - MOD / PSYCH group WARM SOUNDS from 1967 !!! As record companies and publishers used both sides of Acetates, The B side (which has an IMMEDIATE MUSIC STICKER on it reading “NOT THIS SIDE”) plays a version of the GREENAWAY / COOK track “Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart” this is NOT the Gene Pitney version but could be DAVID & JONATHON (David & Jonathan, released as a B sides in the US only) or someone else ??? This was an IMMEDIATE MUSIC PUBLISHING DEMO ACETATE (which I have bought the complete vinyl library from), you can see the IMMEDIATE MUSIC LABELS were put on top of the EMIDISC labels back in 1967 !!! The tracks are: Warm Sounds - “Forgive And Forget”, other side: Unknown Artist - “Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart”. Enjoy !!! |

This ACETATE came from the IMMEDIATE MUSIC library which I bought, you can see the IMMEDIATE MUSIC LIBRARY NUMBER written on the label: IMO 368 !!! The tracks are: “Mary Oh Mary” and “How Do They Know”. Enjoy !!! |
