Amazing !!! An unbelievable piece: What we have here is the ORIGINAL PRESSING of this classic Southern Soul masterpiece.

Let us be blunt: Anyone claiming to be a Soul/R&B buff , but who still does not own a copy of this majestic, extraordinary album deserves a good public flogging, Singapore style. 'Nuff said. There should be a law against not owning a copy of this album. Not loving this great piece of work is totally, utterly impossible. This is a towering giant among R&B/Soul albums. If your heart is beating, you gotta have – and love – this magnificent voice. We have spoken!

And, finally, if this is of any relevance (and I do not claim that it is) "You got my mind messed up " is an important entry in ►my personal top list. Other entries - in no particular order - include Otis Redding, Love, Sam Cooke, Dexter Gordon, Can, Tim Buckley, Byrds, Tim Buckley, Stooges, Five Royales, Eric Dolphy, Everly Brothers, Richard and Linda Thompson and Muddy Waters)

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 30:1.

(d)            Stereo copies of this album are NOT believed to exist

(e)             Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
