Description
Record is in Very Good condition with scuffs and light scratches causing minor surface noise here and there, mostly in between songs; some tracks play VG+
Cover is VG+ in original shrink wrap with corner wear and a light dig (may be a cutout notch) on back lower left corner (see fourth scan)
Original 1968 Twinight pressing--not a reissue
Included is an 8 1/2" x 11" worksheet which was found inside the cover, with writing in pencil on both sides, headed Different Strokes -- BMI (see fifth scan). It's essentially a scorecard (circa 1992) documenting various artists/labels who had sampled the song (including Kwame, Big Daddy Kane, Hammer. Ice T, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, Public Enemy, KRS One, King Tee, Wu Tang Clan, TLC, Whodini), with comments such as "didn't pay," "correspondence," "no correspondence." "phone" etc.
The record and accompanying document were obtained recently from the estate of the late Chicago musician/arranger James Mack. While not known to be directly connected with the Dresses Too Short album, Mack apparently was in possession of some records and ledger sheets that had belonged to Willie Henderson (who Syl has named in interviews as playing baritone sax on the Dresses album). Possibly Henderson (or someone associated with him) was helping Johnson track down the many artists who had sampled Different Strokes up to that time. Given the continuing legal action surrounding sampling of the track (most recently by Jay-Z and Kanye West), this piece of paper has potential historical significance.
