A. RENALDO DOMINO, WHO WAS THE COUSIN OF THE CHI-LITES' MARSHALL THOMPSON, HAD SUCH A FRAGILE VOCAL DELIVERY THAT IT SEEMED THAT IT WOULD SHATTER IF TESTED TOO MUCH; DESPITE THIS, HE HAD AT LEAST SEVEN SINGLES RELEASED, AS WELL AS FURTHER UNISSUED OUTPUT; PLACED IN CHRONOLIGAL ORDER, HIS RELEASES GRADUALLY GET MORE AND MORE COLLECTABLE, WITH HIS FINAL OUTING FETCHING A FEW HUNDRED AMONG DEVOTED SOUL FANS; THE RECORD ON OFFER HERE FALLS AT THE MORE AFFORDABLE END, AND WAS HIS SECOND RELEASE ON SMASH (ALTHOUGH HE STAYED WITH THE MERCURY GROUP FOR ONE 45 ON BLUE ROCK); "I'M HIP TO YOUR GAME" IS A STUNNING CROSSOVER BALLAD THAT OOZES EMOTION FROM BEGINNING TO END; BREATH-TAKING

B. UPPING THE TEMPO FOR THE SECOND SIDE, THE YOUNG RENALDO DELIVERS A STUNNING SLAB OF MID-TEMPO DANCEABILITY, WITH CONSISTENT "HEY HEY HEY HEY" BACKING VOCALS; THIS SIDE COMES FROM THE PENS OF RICHARD PEQUE AND LAMONTE BOSTON, SO QUALITY WINDY CITY SOUL IS ASSURED; LISTEN AND LOVE IT IMMEDIATELY; MAGIC STUFF

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ABOVE SCAN, THERE IS SOME DOUBLE-PRINTING ON THIS LABEL - HAVING DONE A SPOT OF DETECTIVE GOOGLING, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE PRINT LEAKAGE COMES FROM A COPY OF THE "SPECIAL KIND OF LOVE" BY THE RUMBLERS LTD., A MERCURY B-SIDE FROM THE SAME MONTH IN 1968

LISTEN TO BOTH SIDES IN FULL VIA THE YOUTUBE POSTINGS ABOVE
