Hoping the Strut can shed some light on this thing for me.
Long story short: flea market vendor was closing down; he sold me his cassette inventory for 10 bucks; and this tape was in the mix.
It seems like a 3-track demo tape by Lamont Dozier, including "Hungry For Your Love", "Chemistry", and "Thursday Fool". I can't find youtube/audio/release-history for any of these three songs, but, when you Google them, you get hits to songwriting credits on this site: http://songwritershalloffame.org/index.php/songs/detailed/C157/P200/.
I'm NOT up on modern soul / rnb, but by the sounds of it I'd *guess* this is mid-80's Lamont. Also, the songs are all credited to a publisher called "Beau Di O Do Music", one which seems to have been especially active during the mid-/late-80's.
I need to give the tape a more careful listen, but my first impression was that it was Lamont sounding raw over synthy/drum machine-y modern soul or rnb vibes. Again, I only listened once in passing, but I was actually kinda feeling "Hungry For Your Love"!
Can any of yall tell me anything about this tape? Is this a known cassette? Are these unreleased tracks (as they seem to be), or have they been put out on a release I'm missing? Any estimates on how many of these things might exist? Is there gonna be interest in this thing (I feel like some French dude HAS to want this)? Anything, man!
