SWEET REASON - Hundred Thousand Dollar / How I Wish You Need Me (Deram 1974) British issue, this single was produced for Camel Production by Reg Powell. Unlucky enough, I have no other information about this obscure band…

SKIN - Trucking Song / Substitute (Seven Sun 1974) German issue of this Skin's single produced by Don Lawson. "Trucking Song" is a superb glam rock track with killer synth and great vocal. The b side is a “peculiar” version of Who's “Substitute”. Here we go...
