We can only hope that the third acetate, the one containing "Casual Love Affair", is discovered (and released) someday.
Amen.

We all believed that for years !
When it finally surfaced in 1993, the coupling turned out to be I'll Never Stand in Your Way/[It Wouldn't Be the Same] Without You !
Was Marion misremembering the title, or was she confusing the 2nd & 3rd acetates ?
If there was a 3rd one, that means there's another song, apart from Casual Love Affair that remains unreleased !

My belief is there were three private acetates - the one that surfaced in 1993 would be the second or the third.
The other one would contain "Casual Love Affair" and possibly the first / second version of "I'll Never Stand In Your Way".
Yes it was & Marion was the source !
Can't think why he would cut the same song on two different acetates !
The 'missing' song could be 'Tiger Man', 'Rag Mop' or 'Tennessee Saturday Night' !
