This is kind of off-topic for this echo, but anyway... I would think
that your best bet for finding the song, "How Long" would be to look at
compilations of 1970s hits. I'm not sure if the original album has ever
been re-issued on CD and vinyl copies may be a bit hard to find now.
"How Long" originally appeared on the Ace album called, _Five a Side_,
released on Anchor Records in 1974. The song didn't become a hit in
North America until 1975, IIRC though. Anyhow, Ace released two more
albums, _Time For Another_ (1975), and _No Strings_ (1976) before folding
in the late 1970s.
Group leader Paul Carrack, who wrote and sang, "How Long" went on to
further successes with Squeeze and with, Mike & the Mechanics (which
brings this thread a tad closer to the realm of topicality, since the
latter were a side project of Mike Rutherford from the former Prog-Rock
group, Genesis). ;-)
Hope this helps a bit....
Cheers,
Martin
