They did. However the sound (to my ears) is really great and
crystal clear. Given its was a low budget reissue I though it
was terrific. The same material on the Varese comp is not as good.

Joe,
I have a M- 45 of You Turned Off The Sun/The Way I'll Never Be
(DJ copy). It's vinyl and I'm in Chicago - I'd either have to
bring it to you personally or have you pick it up. Let me know.

Early morning typo in my previous message: not a 'typical'
Bright Tunes Production, but, with all the Tokens chat, a
topical one.
I think Mick is away for a few days competing in The Commonwealth
Games, otherwise he might have modestly pointed out that "He's
An Angel" is on one of his earliest Girl Group compilation LPs,
"Stop Look & Listen" - Impact Act 001, 1985 for Ace Records.
This album is simply the dog's testes. Can't put my hands on his
more recent CD comp's, so could be wrong, but I don't think he
has used any Summits' tracks since.
