Roger,
I'm sure those two songs are exactly what you say they are and
aren't those songs listed on Discogs released tunes?

Nope … only the three released singles and their appearance on
TCMS10 with the first.

I wish their "Devastating Affair Mountain" album would get
released from the Motown vault.

I recall you don't know how hard it is being my favorite track
from Desco- Tech. Back then I had no clue of who DA was and had
no idea that Motown had such a massive vault of gems.I love
every track that I'v sampled that has leaked out. They had that
Philly sound mixed in with Motown. Their songs and performance
had so much energy, that with a little push as someone said,
they would've become big hits or at least charted very well.

I've always thought of the group as Motown's 70s answer to the
Fifth Dimension but when Motown signed the real thing in 1977
the writing was on the wall for the Devastating Affair,
unfortunately.

Thanks for the reminder Eric. Lack of promotion (again) killed
the group as they had talent and great material.
