Guaranteed to be original and authentic.   I do not sell boots or modern reissues.

Side 1:

• (I Want To Be) Whatever it Takes to Please You  -  6.06
• Overdose of Love  -  2.29
• The Love I Need  -  2.50
• Didn't I Fool You?  -  2.58
• You Made a Believer Out of Me  -  2.40

Side 2:

• Good 'N Plenty  -  2.55
• You Ole Boo Boo You  -  2.50
• Just Lovin' You  -  2.50
• My Love Is Comin' Down  -  2.50

Jacket:   Jacket is very fine EX with bright artwork, clean panels, no writing, stickers, etc.  Not so much as a trace of ring wear.  The only flaw is a very slight bit of wear at the upper right and bottom right corners - almost not worth mentioning.  Overall a beautiful jacket worthy of display.       

Vinyl:   Vinyl is gorgeous NM.  Retains full brilliant gloss, shows no evidence of ever having been on a turntable.  Plays flawlessly.  Labels are clean and pristine with no spindle trails.  Other than the one time I played it through, I doubt this has ever been on a turntable, it is so beautiful.  I am certain the winning bidder will be extremely pleased.

I provided a sound clip of Side 2, track 3, "Just Lovin' You" so that you can hear a portion of this fabulous northern soul anthem in true mint stereo – absolutely awesome. 

You will not find a nicer original copy of this rare album anywhere.  If you collect rare soul albums and insist on top condition, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
