    &lt;div class=&quot;preview-summary&quot;&gt;I have been meaning to post this record for a loooong time – I found notes on it that go back a decade or so! I was certain by now someone else would have blogged it or put it on Youtube. But after a deep search, I see no signs of it. I guess this record really is pretty darn rare!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have been meaning to post this record for a &lt;em&gt;loooong&lt;/em&gt; time – I found notes on it that go back a decade or so! I was &lt;em&gt;certain&lt;/em&gt; by now someone else would have blogged it or put it on Youtube. But after a deep search, I see no signs of it. I guess this record really is pretty darn rare! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m extra excited to share it now – this is one of my favourite finds ever, and as much as I try not to get territorial about music, I adore this record so much and it so embodies what this blog is about that I must admit I love that it still gets to have its internet premiere here, despite sitting on it for so long. :) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The record in question is an early 1970s Belgian single by a young woman credited simply as Evelyn. I have known a single fact about her since I purchased it in 2007 – that she is the singer who appears on Sharif Dean&#039;s 1973 song, &#039;Do You Love Me?&#039;.  This knowledge led me to find out her full name: Evelyn D&#039;Haese (sometimes spelled Evelyne or Eveline). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;block_level&quot; href=&quot;https://spikedcandy.com/blog/posts/evelyn-belgian-pop-martian.html#extended&quot;&gt;Continue reading &quot;evelyn, belgian pop martian&quot;&lt;/a&gt;
