Memory Of Our LOve - Side B - written by Donny Hathaway

Two unreleased outtakes available on a limited edition (only 1500 copies) 45 rpm issued for the Record Store Day 2013 on April, 20th. Never My Love is a lovely piano ballad written by the Addrissi brothers  including some lines from Prelude n°1 from J.S. Bach !
Memory Of Our Love is a great mid-tempo song. It could have been written by Stevie Wonder. The song includes great bass lines and a short Fender Rhodes solo plus some funky riffs. After the bridge, it contains some disco rhythmic lines. The song was written by Donny Hathaway and unfortunately cut at the end. Seems to be a recording session from the mid-late 70s.

Side 1 : Never My Love 4:52
Side 2 : Memory Of Our Love (take 2) 3:36
