This rare Abra Cad Abra 12" came out on two different labels: Jody and Pisces, both are Sound Of New York sub-labels.

There are several mistakes on the label. On the A side the title of the second song is wrong: the correct name is "Love Gone Away", because it's a short version of the first song. Instead "See Who Plays" is present only on the B side, in two different versions: the vocal and the instrumental in which the title is changed in "Hustle Bustle". The other mistake is the record speed: not 33 1/3, as indicated, but 45 rpm.

"Love Gone Away" is a wah wah up-tempo with soulful arrangements. In my opinion the female vocals are the weakness of the track, even if they're characterized by moans. The B side is more interesting. I prefer "Hustle Bustle" in which the vocals are substituted by a soulful flute.
