Legendary Rare lp from 1981 from HOLLAND DOZIER - rumour has it this was withdrawn? This copy Inc. an 'internal memo' discussing distribution & promotional options so perhaps it didn't get past this stage. Possibly because the whole of side A is really bad except the title tune which is an OK funk tune but it really comes alive on side 2 as all the cuts are good quality soul the 2 outstanding tunes are YOU'VE GOT THAT THING & SHE'S SO SENSITIVE VG++ plays with some clicks here & there but nothing too overpowering
