Very interesting this "find". Was it on any of their LP's? I don't recall
that song, specifically. I'd love to help you restore the 45 to pristine
condition if you like. I've been working on an algorithm that removes 72
different clicks and pops. Nothing gets thru, then I remove the groove noise and TT
rumble using spectral subtraction (not EQ!). Be happy to run it it thru if
you can get me a .wav of it.... How do we download or listen to it on your
site? not clear there.

I know some of you will be intererested... I've been playing with ripping
vinyl. Should have a bunch of cool stuff in a few days, but last night I
ripped an old Fools Face single called "I Can Tell". It's up in the audio
section at my site if anyone is interested. http://www.garylittleton.com
As far as I know this was the band's second single. It's a Jim Wirt song
(Won't make it hard, even angels fall, etc) and I believe Dale McCoy or
Jimmy Frink of the band gave me the test pressing of the 45 when the band
stayed at my place back in 1979 in Houston. My test pressing has the same
song on both sides, but I assume it was actually released as a single. Does
anyone know if this is true or not, and if so what was the B-Side?
Cheers,
Gary
