Unknown (possibly unreleased) Sweet Soul Acetate

Are any of you familiar with this song? I'd love to know who it is. The song is called Must Be Going Out Of My Head and it was recorded at Angel Sound Studios in NYC. To me this sounds like it came out between 69 and 73. This is called an acetate which were records usuaully recorded directly in the studio. Acetates are metal discs with a plastic coating that would get cut into by a lathe. If you ever do come into contact with an acetate make sure you don't touch it with greasy hands, don't wash the record (you can pull the grooves right off), and don't play it at a heavy weight. By all means don't use a portable turntable. 1.5 grams is usually the max these should be played at. They only get a few passes before the sound degrades, and that's even if you're careful.

Nice one PJDooWop. Late 60s/early 70s Soul ballads are often underrated and ignored on Youtube.

Keep up the good work. You ARE appreciated! :-)

[PJDooWop]

Thank you :)

Very difficult to recognize this tune it is a test press record" But it is very fine!

[PJDooWop]

It's actually an acetate. Acetates were "cut" in the studio and are one of a kind. Test pressings were used to check out the quality of a record early in it's pressing run.

thank ou for sharing. man where do you find these. Such a grat song, would love to have. You are a smart colletor friend, johnnie

[PJDooWop]

I appreciate the kind words. It seems that this may be Ferguson, Davis and Jones. When I have an opportunity to locate that 45 I'll know for sure if this is the same song.

@PJDooWop Yes this is Ferguson, Davis, and Lee. The groups real names are Jerry Ferguson, Wade Davis, and Charles "Chuck" Lee. The group later changed their name to Lifestyle. Charles Lee is my father-in-law
