Description

The Festivals -- Vaughn Price, Earl Moss, Woody Price, and Leon Thomas -- never got the break they needed to succeed, but not for lack of trying. They debuted on Smash Records with "I'll Always Love You" in the fall of 1966, which produced some mild rumblings in a few cities. Momentum increased in the spring of 1967 when Smash released their best-known (and best) recording "You Got the Makings of a Lover," a Moss composition that highlights the quartet's shimmering vocal blend. (Sly, Slick & Wicked from Los Angeles re-did the song in the '90s; that version inspired many to seek out the original that most never heard when it was released.) Even those living in certain large metropolitan cities missed out since Smash only promoted the record in select cities.

 Record was tested and played with no skips.

There is a hole punched in the label.

 SOLD AS IS
