Amazing !!! An unbelievable piece: What we have here is the ORIGINAL PRESSING of this classic Southern Soul masterpiece.

Let us be blunt: Anyone claiming to be a Soul/R&B buff , but who still does not own a copy of this majestic, extraordinary album deserves a good public flogging, Singapore style. 'Nuff said. There should be a law against not owning a copy of this album. Not loving this great piece of work is totally, utterly impossible. This is a towering giant among R&B/Soul albums. If your heart is beating, you gotta have – and love – this magnificent voice. We have spoken!

And, finally, if this is of any relevance (and I do not claim that it is) "You got my mind messed up " is an important  entry in ►my personal top list. Other entries - in no particular order - include Otis Redding, Love, Sam Cooke, Dexter Gordon, Can, Tim Buckley, Byrds, Tim Buckley,  Stooges, Five Royales, Eric Dolphy,  Everly Brothers, Richard and Linda Thompson and  Muddy Waters)

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           True stereo copies of this album are NOT believed to exist (except – possibly – as imports)

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has two (2) small cutout holes in two opposing corners

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 (front side) and 3 (back side)

-         Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

-        Cover has a minor 'bump' (dent) along the bottom seam and opening side (nothing significant)

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

-         Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-        No split seams

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No writing

-        No stamps

-        No peel-off marks

-        No stains

-        No mold or mildew spots

-        No stickers or labels

-        No water damage

-        No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts.

-        No warping

-        No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-        No glue traces or wax residue.

-        No bar codes

-        No RIAA stamps or stickers.
