Mr. Eli
This question is for you. I heard some similarities in the �I�ll Be Around� and �Sadie� sessions, I was wondering if you did play on the �Sadie� session. I will greatly appreciate your answer.

TL,

I played on both records.
They were done several years apart.

On I'll be around Earl Young and Ronnie Baker , Norman Harris and myself were the drummer , bassist and guitarists respectively, while
on Sadie the drummer, bassist, and guitarists, were Andrew Smith, Bob Babbitt, Tony bell and myself,respectively.

I'll be around was recorded at Sigma Sound studio one on 12th street, while Sadie was recorded in Sigma Sound studio four which was ten blocks away at the PIR building.
The only similarity was that they were both produced by Thom Bell.

Philly had a lot more studios than most people know. The ones I'm aware of are:

SIGMA SOUND
ALPHA INTERNATIONAL
QUEEN VILLAGE
KAJEM
VIRTUE
919 SOUND
CAMEO-PARKWAY
ROBINSON RECORDING LABS
GOTHAM
RECO-ART
SOUND PLUS

BTW, The first Jerry Butler sessions with Gamble & Huff for Mercury were not done in Philly. Their first session together for "Lost" was cut at Bell Sound in NYC on September 7, 1967. "Never Give You Up" and "Hey, Western Union Man" were cut at Cameo-Parkway. Sigma Sound did not open until August of '68.
