I bought this album online for not too much - the postage was more! When you buy old records online you are never quite sure what you will get. In Fiji I do not have much choice. Anyway after a few weeks the lp arrived. Pristine condition. White Promo Label - and added promotional material included including a signed photograph. Pretty cool.I bought this record because it was one of the first recorded at Muscle Shoals Sounds Studio - so the band and production can be relied on to be impeccable.
R B was a bit of a one hit wonder - Take a Letter Maria (check out the great video - ahead of its time?). But the album certainly points to someone whom we should have heard more of. Two great Sam Cooke covers and also another "hit" with a small h in his terrific and probably definitive version of Bacharach and David's Always There to Remind Me.
