BACKGROUND INFO FROM ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
Kiki Dee looks young and innocent on this Tamla recording, and her voice is beautiful as she covers some classic Motown here -- an up-tempo "I Second That Emotion," a unique "For Once in My Life." The late Jimmy Miller said that Dee and Dusty Springfield were good friends. Dee covers Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," and it is excellent, but what is more intriguing is how much she sounds like Dusty Springfield on the lesser-known "Johnny Raven." Tackling "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" without the duet that Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's version enjoyed is commendable -- the Motown sound making a transition to showcase a white soul singer works. "Jimmy" is haunting, and displays the power and subtlety absent in her two big hit recordings for and with Elton John a few years later. The 12 songs here are as solid as early Motown production work, and not the R. Dean Taylor-type sound one would hear on the Rare Earth imprint. "I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You" is Kiki Dee working within the wonderful confines of Berry Gordy's hit machine, it's just too bad nothing here charted. This is a wonderful album with top-notch production, great vocal work, and a classic '60s sound -- Kiki Dee before she found some fame, and at times, more appealing than what people recognized her for. Many have covered "More Today Than Yesterday," but few as perfectly as it is captured on this forgotten album.
COVER STOCK STILL SEALED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP INTACT. CORNERS WITH SMALL ROUGH SPOTS AND OUTER LAYER LOSSES ON POINT. NOTWITHSTANDING, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO PLEASE DO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS TO ASCERTAIN COVER CONDITION.
