Amazing !!! An unbelievable piece: What we have here is the ORIGINAL PRESSING of this classic Southern Soul masterpiece in a condition which is very, very rarely seen.

Let us be blunt: Anyone claiming to be a Soul/R&B buff who still does not own a copy of this majestic, extraordinary album deserves a good public flogging, 25 lashes on the bare, 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 we do not claim that it is)  'You got my mind messed up' is an important  entry in ►my personal top list. Other entries on our top-15 list (in no particular order) include Otis Redding, Love, Sam Cooke, Dexter Gordon, Can, Tim Buckley, Byrds, Bob Marley & Wailers,  Stooges, Five Royales,  Everly Brothers, Richard and Linda Thompson and  Muddy Waters)

·       CONDITION:

·       THE 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  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. 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)           The record comes in a hi-grade MFSL PVC inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years!

(d)          True stereo copies of this album are NOT believed to exist (except – possibly – as imports)

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

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a small, neat, circular cutout hole in one of the corners

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2  (front side) and 3 (back side)

-         Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.  (nothing significant)

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging  (nothing significant).

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

-         Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in two opposing corners (one in each).

-         Visible shelf wear noted on the top seam.

-         Cover has some fraying/wear along the lower seam

-         Cover has a partially split bottom seam (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters)

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged  (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
