Description
Releases by this talented, soulful, yet obscure artist, go for hundreds of dollars and have continued to rise In value. The artist has recorded in my hometown of Hampton Roads, VA. (Norfolk Sound in Chesapeake, VA., etc.), an area where a soulful voice needs some luck to emerge from the oppressive conditions. Had this underrated artist had more hype, he might have made it big, but then his expressions would have lost their own charm, and we wouldn’t be so eager to return to unpretentious talent, such as this. Perhaps, you could think of his sound as having a more soulful, spiritual striving, than the late Prince, and without the commercialism of today's vocalists. He just feels it and lets it out. His soul spoke and years later our ears listened.
I am listing some of his other vinyl as well.
See pics as I posted many and with zoom to offer forthright representation of rare LP, thus as seen as is. Comes with generic inner sleeve to protect. Thank you
Aout the mastering: Steele started Frankford/Wayne's mastering operations in 1966. First as part of the Philadelphia recording institution Sigma Sound Studios and then later setting up Frankford/Wayne Recording Labs. In 1973 they also set up shop in New York City. - Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs, Inc. was incorporated on May 13th, 1974. CD and vinyl mastering continues to be an integral part of their business.

Vinyl records mastered at Frankford/Wayne in New York, if not printed on the center labels or sleeve, can be recognized by a mastering stamp in the runout groove. The mastering stamp usually takes the form of MASTERING BY FRANKFORD/WAYNE NEW YORK, like this release, or the initials F/W followed by an apple symbol. Later releases only have F/W, most are often followed by the engineers signature or initials.
