Description

Scarce vintage soul funk LP featuring BOBBY THURSTON on the MAINLINE label out of Washington, D.C., from 1978. 

 

Title is “Sweetest Piece of the Pie.”  Stereo pressing, catalog number is MAINLINE 12747.   This is a stock copy, label is blue with silver print. 

 

D.C. soul legend Al Johnson arranged nearly half of the tracks on this killer LP, in addition to handling the keyboards and singing background vocals.

 

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

 

I have included sound clips from the actual record to enable you to hear a portion of the first track on each side.

 

Track Listing:

 

Side One:

  • Flash   (Willie Lester-Rodney Brown)   Listen to a portion of this track
  • Na Na Na Na Baby  (R. Brown-W. Lester)
  • I Want Your Body  (W. Lester-R. Brown)
  • Sweetest Piece Of The Pie  (R. Brown-W. Lester)

 

Side Two:

  • Treat Me The Same Way   (R. Brown-W. Lester)   Listen to a portion of this track
  • We Got So Much To Stay Together For  (R. Brown-W. Lester)
  • Foolish Man  (Tyrone Lester-R. Brown-W. Lester)
  • I Do Love You  (Billy Stewart)
  • Just Ask Me  (W. Lester-R. Brown)

 

Jacket:  Jacket is nice and clean.  Front art work is nice and bright, with a few slight traces of surface wear beginning to appear.  Reverse is also clean, but shows a bit more surface wear and a bit of minor ring wear starting to appear.  Corners have minor bumps.  Seams and spine are excellent with no splits or problems.  No writing, stickers, or other flaws.  Overall a fine jacket.          

 

Vinyl:  Beautiful VG++ disc with full brilliant original gloss, appears to have been played a very small number of times and handled with care.  There are a couple slight scuffs that do not affect the playing, except for a few barely audible soft tics at the beginning of Side 2.  No serious marks or problems.  Labels are clean and pristine.  Fidelity is superb as you can hear in the accompanying sound clips.  This is a beauty!

 

As with all my records, your satisfaction is fully guaranteed.  If not happy, simply return in same condition for a full refund of purchase price plus one-way postage.

 

For your convenience I accept most payment forms including Paypal, money orders, and other direct methods of payment.  Personal checks drawn on U.S. banks are also ok but require 7 business days for funds to clear.

 

Shipping is $3.75 to anywhere in the U.S. via USPS media mail, (insurance, priority mail, and overseas shipping available at additional cost.)

Note:  For maximum protection in transit, postal insurance for domestic U.S. addresses (cost: $2.75) or a postal registration fee for overseas destinations (USD 9.90) will be added to purchases with a final bid price of USD 100.00 or more.

I welcome international bidders, and I am happy to ship to anywhere in the world.

 

I pack all albums in sturdy cardboard custom mailers for safe shipment.
