BACKGROUND INFO FROM ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
Some classic early O'Jays when the Canton, OH natives were a quintet. Most of these recordings were big hits in Cleveland and certain other localities, but never achieved mass appeal. "How Does It Feel" and its flip "Crack Up Laughing" were number one on Cleveland's WJMO for nearly two months. "Lonely Drifter" and "Stand In For Love" were also huge. Minit released both versions, but the studio version achieved more play. "Lipstick Traces," with Walter Williams leading (Ed Levert hated the song and refused to do it), is the best-known recording on this set; Walt sings the country-flavored offering in a straight baritone reminiscent of Johnny Cash. William Powell displays his babe-magnet falsetto on the uptempo "Working On Your Case" and the dreamy, aching "Oh How You Hurt Me" -- both were very popular in the Cleveland area. For many, these are the O'Jay sides to kill for.
COVER STOCK IN NEAR FINE CONDITION. EDGES ARE CLEAN AND SHARP. BACK COVER WITH SOME WEAR FINGERPRINT MARKS ALONG BOTTOM EDGE. NO SPLITS OR TEARS AT ALL. NOTWITHSTANDING, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO PLEASE DO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS TO ASCERTAIN COVER CONDITION.
SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS THE SIGN OF A FEW SPINS. THE HIGH LUSTER VINYL BLANK AT FIRST GLANCE OUT OF THE SLEEVE APPEARS PRISTINE BUT TO HAVE LITTLE PLAY. UNDER BRIGHT ANGLED LIGHT AND ASSIDUOUS EXAMINATION A FEW LIGHT SURFACE RUB MARKS AND OR PAPER SLEEVE STORAGE IMPRESSIONS. WHEN PLAYED< IT IS EXCELLENT, AS EXPECTED!
