It never got released and its very existence was unknown. After painstaking detective work, West Grand found about the recording and have now managed to license it from Universal Music \/ Motown for its debut worldwide release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNews of the discovery has created huge interest amongst Soul fans globally. As a bonus, the flip side is another “wow find” that had been stuck, also unknown and unloved, in the tape vaults for nearly 60 years. It is a preciously unused alternative take on Scott's on Swingers. The track is in effect an extended jingle for Detroit back in the day star radio DJ Scott Regan based on Edwin’s smash S.O.S (Stop Her On Sight). The released take came out on a limited edition RIC-Tic giveaway single that now commands a £400 price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Grand","offers":[{"title":"7\" - Black","offer_id":51826770903371,"sku":"R1776-4563","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/WG0002S-1024x1024_7a443819-fce7-4b25-b48c-bb30715281c5.jpg?v=1752233102","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/real-humdinger-scotts-on-swingers-s-o-s","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
