See Emily Play
Everything is a matter of timing. This record was released almost one year ago in England and made Top 5. Tower released it here at the same time. No action.
Now is the time to release See Emily Play.
That's what we have been hearing from many of the country's top P.D's and D.J.'s, as well as several music reviewers.
We hope they're right.
We're re-releasing the record.
Will you play it?
