I believe Gloria Jones is best known for singing the original version of "Tainted Love." She was also a writer and producer for Motown for a while. She's also known for being the late Marc Bolan's common-law wife at the time of his death..

It turns out there was another pressing of the Gloria Jones song .

Besides this double sided Capitol 12 " with both Taste Of Honey and Gloria Jones ( which based on the record pool memo was a commercially released 12 " )........
Capitol also released a Gloria Jones only promo 12" with just "BRING ON THE LOVE " on both sides.
They tried to give this song plenty of push ......

Maybe, had they spoken with some DJ's ,they might have learned that the song wasn't simply overlooked because it was on the B side of "BOOGIE OOGIE OOGIE " ...but also because the tune's sound was just a bit weak in its disco components .....
Once Capitol made the decision to release it again all on its own , and to chase the club market with it , they needed to get a DJ ....or Tom Moulton ... to remix it and offer that updated "improved" version as the B side to the original ..........
