Description

 

Near Mint +++ Condition Very rare find! Very slight wear on the edges, normal no dog eared corners or tears, no major damage just slight wear and tear from leaving the record box. This is the original pressing, the record itself is in flawless condition, I am very proud of it. I have only played it twice, and id say all together this album has been played less than 20 times. Excelent condition.

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".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!
