I can find no information about Ellusions. Lamon records was established in 1962 in North Carolina (Charlotte), later moving to Nashville and is still in existence today. The label specialises in bluegrass and country. It would appear that the Ellusions were a 60s white garage band.
The official A side is in fact 'You Wouldn't Understand' which starts off really slowly in a doo wop vein and then turns into a more mid-tempo groove in more of a group soul harmony/crossover flavour. 'You Didn't Have To Leave' is a more obvious Northern dancer.
It used to be quite rare but a box of them turned up in the 80s which brought the price down. It has also been bootlegged on styrene, the original being vinyl. Even the bootleg seems to sell between £40-£60
