Tucked away on the
flip side to Lenny Wiliams' UK Top 40 hit (#38 in Nov 1977) "Shoo Doo Fu Fu Ooh!" is "Problem Solver" (so very easy and cheap to find) which is an updated version of a
track on his 1974 debut solo album "Pray For The Lion" after leaving Tower Of Power. Both good versions but the tempo is
upped on the '77 version.
The first version wasn't ever released as a single and I don't believe
that the 1977 version was released as single stateside as, although there
is a listing for it on 45Cat, there's no label scan for this side (and I've
never seen one) and the cat.no is the same for the release which had
"Trust In Me" on the flip.

Great comment that I hadn't seen. And yet I have the 2 LPs "Pray For The Lion" and "Choosing You" and the timing is not the same. Strange isn't it!!!

They are different takes, the later (better IMO) ABC recording is a bit more uptempo
Indeed I think that the version recorded in 1977 is better and a little longer.
