 Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman Love this track that I recently obtained... just one question though. The RCA 12" adds "Instrumental" to the title. Is there a vocal version? There's certainly room for lyrics... Also, was this a one-off, or was there an album? Okay, I lied... that was two questions...  |

| Hi Graham, So you've found the much loved/reviled Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Just like the late-night TV sit-com, people either loved or hated this record. No middle ground. :) The original 12" was released on West End Records. The vocal, on the 'B' side, ran 3:20 while the instrumental "A" side was 6:19. This went against the grain of most 12"s (more weirdness, I guess) but the vocals, and the length of the song, weren't all that much. Dick Lee was the featured vocalist with group credit going to Sounds of Inner City. If Bernie still has it in the vault, check out the Soul Collector series, Volume 3. (Part of the Funky Collector series.) The version here is combined at 9:07. Listening to it in this way, it's not that bad as all of Vince Montana's music is still there.

| Thanks for the info. The Cnd 12" credits the song to "Sounds Of Inner City featuring Dick Lee" -- yet his voice is nowhere to be heard! I guess I should seek out the 7" version then, since West End 12s are pretty scarce up here. |

| There is also another disco version that I had from 1976 by a three gal group called The Deadly Nightshade on Phantom Records...It got a lot of play in the summer of '76 on Fire Island and some radio play as well.....I thought it was cute at the time.....

| Sounds of Inner City is nothing less than the Salsoul Orchestra. The record was issued under that moniker because at that time Vince Montana jr had an exclusive deal with Salsoul Records. Two 12" exists of this on West End: WES 12102 including instrumental (long) and vocal (short) version and WES 12101 including, on the other side, JAKKI's "You are the star", both from 1977 I know another version of this track, released on the Festival (Calliope) label in 1977 by the New Marketts (Festival CALS 9001) |
