Description
Artist: MOMENTS
Titles: “Baby” I Want You / Pray For Me
Label: HOG. Label is red with black text. Catalog number is HOG 1000.
Year: early to mid 70s (est.)
Condition: Condition is mixed. The A-side “Baby I Want You” grades a nice VG to VG+ with nearly 100% of the original gloss remaining. There are some scuffs and hairline marks on the a-side, particularly near the beginning, that produce a bit of light surface noise and occasional soft tic in places, but the fidelity is quite strong and the overall listening experience is very enjoyable.
The “B” side, “Pray For Me” (ballad), has several unfortunate scratches that produce recurring audible tics that are irritating, and skipped in two places on my turntable, so I must grade the b-side (ballad) at fair-to-poor. Fortunately, this is not the desired side, and so you can rest assured that the uptempo side plays nicely. My records are always guaranteed to be satisfactory, so if there is any problem I do accept returns, as outlined below. My feedback speaks for itself.
Note: Both tunes were written by Larry Mizell back in his early days in music. This session was produced by the Mizell Brothers (Larry, Fonce, and Rod). I found a web site (Red Bull Music Academy) where Larry talks about this record:
LM: This was a record company we started back in college called Hog Records. Our group was The Moments…
..We put together what we called the record company, paid for it, rented a studio, found some students at another college called Morgan State (Baltimore), named them The Moments and took them into a studio, hired some strings from the air force, $25 the lot. We put together this record and we didn’t know what to do with it after that… The record surfaced a few years ago on eBay and sold for almost $5,000. There’s not too many copies around now, so needless to say we went through the basement looking for them to find them, but it was a fruitless search.”
Guaranteed to be original and authentic. I do not sell bootlegs or modern reissues.
