Losing my mind, to hear something so rare. Are there other unreleased tracks? I listened to Cheryl more than anyone else, in 1978-1984.

From what I remember reading in an interview, when Cheryl was recording this second album for Columbia, she had other producers in mind, but Columbia insisted she work with european disco producer Barry Blue- maybe because just about all record labels in 1979 were cashing in on the outgoing disco trend and Columbia was no different. Cheryl and Barry Blue worked together arranging almost all the songs but it wasn't the sound Cheryl wanted in the end. Columbia also paired her up with labelmate Tower Of Power group for a song on their 1979 LP BACK ON THE STREETS, the song is called IN DUE TIME. Whatever the song choices were for her albums, the ballads were always the highpoints.

"In Love" is my favorite album of all time, and has been since the day it was released . It's the most complex recording I have ever heard. I still hear new layers of sound every time I play it. Every track is a masterpiece.

Seeing the demo cassette at the end....It really is incredible. Thank you for posting this. It surely should have been on the album. Very odd, it wasn't on any CD reissue as a bonus track. You might have the only surviving copy. I am truly astonished to hear this.

​@@CraiginOhioUSA We were given the cassette of rough mixes while the album was still in progress, before the decision was made to leave "The Real One" off the finished record. Also before backing vocals were recorded, which was an additional disappointment, as those parts on our original demo really added to the track. If you're curious, check out my video for that demo "Morley & Harland Songs - The Real One."
