Description

SYL JOHNSON - Is It Because I'm Black - Original LP on Twinight Records(LPS 1002)from 1970.

Breathtaking ! The tracks are a beautiful mix of long righteous cuts like "Is It Because I'm Black" and "Right On" -- plus shorter groovier ones, like "Together Forever" and "I'm Talkin About Freedom" and the Beatles "Come Together". This is one of the best ever soul albums to come out of Chicago -- and it may well be one of the best soul albums to ever come out of the 60s! Syl Johnson mixes west side bluesy soul with some great Chicago soul arrangements by Jimmy Jones & The Pieces Of Peace -- and the result is one of the heaviest soul albums you'll ever hear.  Great stuff all round, and a real tough one to find on vinyl!

Cover is in VG+ condition. Some very mild shelf ware.

Record is in VG+ condition. There's some light marks on both sides but I played the entire record and it plays fine with no skips. There's just some minimal surface noise but it's not bad at all.

All records are graded conservatively.
