Wednesday-"Last Kiss"

yes I did, Jim! And, it sounds great (from tape) and runs 2:34!

The reason why I add "from tape" is that so much Canadian stuff from the early 70s is simply not available on CD in good form. MUCH comes from vinyl (often poorer quality than what I and my collecting buddy Dave have) if it exists at all. So sad...

David:

Just out of curiosity... What is the Canadian CD title that contains Wednesday's "Last Kiss" from a tape source?

Thanks to the restrictive Canadian content laws governing CKLW this song by Wednesday got lots of airplay and was heard here in the USA on The Big Eight. I cannot remember if the group had a follow up to this or not.

Wednesday had follow-up hits in Canada, but not so much in the US. They
include "Teen Angel" (BB #74, CA #15 1974), "Fly Away" (CA #21 1974, never
been stereo), "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" (CA #49 1975), and "Loving You
Baby" (CA #6 1976). They were all over the radio where I lived in Ontario,
Canada back then.

And yes, answering Todd's 13 year old question, it is the Unidisc label.
