I had an interesting thought tonight. Did Graham Gouldman have things he wrote in the '60s end up on library labels? After having the Yardbirds record back to back hit singles with his songs "For Your Love" and "Heart Full of Soul" in 1965 the 19 year old Gouldman quickly became an in demand songwriter with songs recorded by acts like the Hollies, Herman's Hermits, and Wayne Fontana. The library labels did put out music with vocals, so there would seem to be a chance something he wrote got sold to them if it didn't get recorded for pop music labels. Or perhaps recorded by Gouldman for one of the library labels under an alias, as he and the other future members of 10cc recorded songs credited to Ohio Express and others during a 1969-70 association with US bubblegum music producers Super K Productions.
