Trace Of Smoke [1982] - U.R. / Treasure Mind [B.J. #None]

Here's a nice rare groove stepper from around 1982 and one of only 2 listed 45s on B.J., but I think the other one listed may actually be a different label.  It was reissued on Soul7, a subsidiary of JazzMan owned by Gerald Short (aka Jazzman Gerald), in 2013. An original will be hard to find and could cost you into 4 figures. I think the vinyl 45 reissue has long sold out but there are a few available on Discogs around the £50 mark or it's still available as a download from Amazon.

U.R.

Written by Mary Williams and Melvin Winn, who were also both involved in writing / producing tracks for both sides of a Karizma 45 'Will You Dance With Me' / 'Magic Lady' on FRP in 1984 which was another one-off for group and label, so wonder if there is some connection between the groups as Trace Of Smoke 45 was recorded at Lone Star Studios, Austin Texas and Karizam 45 at Austin Recording Studios?
