BACKGROUND INFO FROM DUSTYGROOVE WEBSITE:
A very cool album of soul instrumentals, played by the session musicians responsible for creating (the second version of?) the Muscle Shoals sound – players like Clayton Ivey, Junior Lowe, Ronnie Eades, and Freeman Brown. The set's nicely packaged – in a gatefold cover, with shots of Muscle Shoals, the studio, the group, and Rick Hall, who produced the whole darn thing. The cuts themselves are pop and soul hits, done with slightly southern tinges – and titles include "Soulful Strut", "Choice Of Colors", "It's Your Thing", "Get Back", and "Too Weak To Fight".
GATEFOLD COVER STOCK WITH LIGHT RUB AND RING WEAR AND AGE DISCOLORATION. CORNERS WITH SMALL ROUGH SPOTS AND OUTER LAYER LOSSES ON POINT. TOP RIGHT CORNER WITH HUGE PUNCH CUT HOLE. FRONT CENTER SLEEVE EDGE WITH SOME LABEL RESIDUE. TOP CENTER EDGE SPLIT ABOUT FIVE INCHES. NOTWITHSTANDING, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO PLEASE DO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS TO ASCERTAIN COVER CONDITION.
VIRGIN SPINDLE HOLE. THE HIGH LUSTER VINYL BLANK AT FIRST GLANCE OUT OF THE SLEEVE APPEARS UNUSUALLY PRISTINE AND TO HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED, MUCH LESS TOUCHED, BEFORE NOW. UNDER BRIGHT ANGLED LIGHT AND ASSIDUOUS EXAMINATION A FEW LIGHT SURFACE RUB MARKS AND OR PAPER SLEEVE STORAGE IMPRESSIONS.
