	RogerFoster To ignore is human, to follow is divine. Member since Jul 2014 3084 Points	Hi Gang ... I have the 2001 Spectrum Music release of Edwin's "Essential Collection" to slap into the CD Albums ... This Is It At Amazon.co.uk. However there is a curiousity with it, for although everything about the packaging suggests that there are 17 tracks there are actually 18. As mentioned in one of the Amazon reviews there is a "Hidden" song at Track 12 which is quite probably not even by Edwin and sounds to me like an alternative take of "My Kind Of Girl" by The Prophets .... this is The Prophets track (which 45Cat has released as Stephanye STP-335 in 1966). It looks to me like there was some mix-up when the CD was compiled/manufactured, and whether this anomaly occurs on all copies of this release I don't know. Does anyone else have Edwin's "Essential Collection" and if so does it have the extra track? How do you folks think this should be handled ... I could ... A: Ignore it (which is what the entry at Discogs has done), and just put it in as a 17 Track CD. B: Put in The CD as a 17 track CD, with something in the notes to the effect that there is a mysterious extra track. C: Put in The CD as a 17 track CD, with a comment to the effect that there is an extra track. D: Put in The CD as an 18 track CD with the extra track credited as Edwin Starr. E: Put in The CD as an 18 track CD with the extra track credited as Unknown. F: Put in The CD as an 18 track CD with the extra track credited as The Prophets. Is there any consensus of opinion?
