Description
What to say about this one? Quite simply one of the rarest sweet soul / funk lps ever made. Positive Change's self-titled lp on the private Oxon Hill, Maryland label, Fortress Records Ltd. Original 1978 pressing (NOT A RE-ISSUE!) still sealed in original shrink. There are two small holes in the shrink, including a round hole on the cover and a thin 2-3 inch tear in the upper left hand corner of the back cover (see photos). The shrink has also sustained a little ring-wear, but protected the cover underneath. An unbelievably well-preserved copy of this exceedingly scarce lp. So scarce that this could very well be the last sealed copy you ever see. There are rumours that most copies were destroyed due to a contract dispute. True or not, this record almost never shows up. It is the first copy I've ever seen in 25 years of collecting and dealing in the D.C./Maryland/Virginia area, where the recording was made. Song titles include: Side A 1.You Make it So Easy 2. Just Give Me A Part Of You 3. Where is SHe Today 4. This Is Where I'll Be ('Till You Return') 5. Can't Get Away Side Two: 1. Girl You Must Believe (It's You I Love) 2. (Just Once In Your Life) Be Fair With Me 3. Love of a Lifetime 4. Can't Believe You'd Break Your Promise 5. Feel Like I'm Living With A Stranger. Arrangements and keyboards by Al Johnson with the American Star Orchestra, Tiki Fulwood and Steve Walker on drums, Bernard Miles on bass and Gregory Gerran on percussion. Fresh to the market from the collection of a former Washington D.C.-area session musician. Please email any questions. Note: I can only accept Paypal or cash in registered mail from Non-US buyers.
