YOU ARE BIDDING ON A RARE WHITE LABEL DEMO COPY OF THE CLASSIC LOVE AND BEAUTY LP Label: Invictus, Columbia Cat#: KZ 33134 Media Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-) Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+) Comments: Very rare original pressing - Vinyl is a white label promo unplayed M- / Cover is VG w/ minor ringwear and cut top right corner and slight wear on back cover at vinyl entrance Love & Beauty is a massive album by Lamont Dozier -- probably his best ever! Every cut's a winner, and the LP shines with a sharpness and tightness that's missing from some of Lamont's other LPs from the 70s. The songwriting is impeccable -- and as the album progresses, you get that eerie "deja vu" feeling you can have when discovering a landmark work for the first time. There's a hint of funk in the mix, but the strongest point is the production -- which bowls over the top with a mix of strings, piano, and Lamont's wonderfully honest vocals. Includes the wonderful soul anthem "Don't Leave Me", which comes up again in a very tight instrumental version -- plus the tracks "The Picture Will Never Change", "Why Can't We Be Lovers", and "Slipping Away". Great all the way through, and a stunning bit of seventies soul that will have you returning again and again! Manifactured in : US Credits: Engineer - Lawrence T. Horn* Executive Producer - Edward J.
