HI, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A VERY RARE U.K. ORIGINAL OF MARVA WHITNEY'S 'IT'S MY THING' LP RELEASED 1969 ON THE POLYDOR LABEL
Marva Whitney was one of the greatest vocalists James Brown worked with. Her voice is a force of nature; raw, gutsy, passionate. James wrote or co-wrote most of this album, in addition to producing and arranging it. He's also evident throughout on backing vocals and organ. If you love James Brown and you don't know about this, it's time to get it while you can! In fact, if you love the music of James Brown it is literally impossible to not love this. Guaranteed.
The band works these grooves like a well-oiled machine; every instrument has a distinct purpose, nothing is out of place. It's almost supernatural how funky this music is. Even the slower tunes are funky. Leave it to James Brown to take a classic song like the Isley Brothers "It's Your Thing", re-write it, and basically obliterate it. Don't get me wrong, "It's Your Thing" is a great track, but when you hear Marva Whitney declare "It's MY Thing" you will believe her!
Two of the tracks are intrumentals, and they kick. "Shades Of Brown", in particular, is a stanky slab of nastiness.
RECORD ITSELF IS IN A GORGEOUS SHINY 'NEAR MINT' CONDITION WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF PLAY. THE SLEEVE IS IN 'EX' CONDITION, HAS VERY MINOR RING WEAR ON THE FRONT RIGHT HAND SIDE AND AN EXTREMELY MILD BUBBLE IN THE LAMINATE TOP LEFT. THE BACK SLEEVE AGAIN MIRRORS THE RING WEAR FROM THE FRONT AS WELL AS SHOWING SIGNS OF DISCOLOURATION...WHICH I'D DESCRIBE AS THE USUAL FOR A RECORD 36yrs OLD!
PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE, I HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK!
