Exhumed from the vaults. Valerie Savage is my cousin, from Oxfordshire, England. She won a songwriting competition in 1972 when she was 16, which involved a professional recording session with Pye Records. Pye pressed up and distributed this single. Clearly I'm biased, but to my ears, this has a kind of Joni Mitchell/ Carole King-ish vibe to it, and I can imagine either of those two artists singing this. Sadly Val never pursued a musical career after this, and it remains a solitary obscurity that hardly anyone will ever have heard. An original rare groove!
