I think Calico Suit was the version of Trinity - Three Piece Suite
which was probably the base of the version on the back of the
Uptown Top Ranking single which I had and which had 1 or 2
A & D vocal bits added possibly later than the pre
The actual backing track of Uptown Top Ranking was also used
on Marcia Aitkin - I'm Still In Love With You which was coupled
with the Trinity track on a 12" .   I'd guess those 2 tracks were
what Joe Gibbs was working on earlier that day
