Dee Dee Warwick [2024] - This Time May Be The Last Time / Funny How We Change Places [Private Stock Records]

A digital reissue of two songs by Dee Dee Warwick from 1975 on Private Stock. The B side, "Funny How We Change Places",  was released under various artist names first as Dee Dee Warwick in Jan '75 with a different A side, then Dede Warwick in Aug 1975 and finally as Dede Schwartz by RCA in Apr '76 (with the A side "This Time May Be The Last Time"). Reportedly she adopted the name Schwartz (German for black) to fight off the Warwick syndrome of living in the shadow of her elder sister Dionne.

It got a UK release as Dee Dee Warwick in late Mar '76 with the original A side "Get Out Of My Life".  This pairing has also been reissued digitally but we don't know exactly when.

Stargard's Debra Anderson originally recorded "Funny How We Change Places" in Jun 1974 with a slightly different title "Funny How We've Changed Places" and a faster pace (126 BPM vs 119 BPM). As is often the case because Anderson's version it is harder to find, it's perhaps more 'respected' in rare soul circles and commands a significantly higher price tag by a factor of around 20x. Outta Sight reissued it on 45 in 2019 on a Real Side logo..

It was Anderson's first of only two solo recordings before joining Stargard who had a big disco hit with "Theme From Which Way Is Up" in 1977. The second "Where Do We Go From Here" on Henry Stone's Drive label in 1976 which also got a UK issue on Seville.
