GLORIOUS MID-TEMPO FEMME SOUL ON THE HARDER VARIATION OF THIS LEGENDARY DETROIT LABEL. THIS 1966 TRACK HAS LONG BEEN A HIGHLY REGARDED  TRACK, THAT IN PRE-INTERNET DAYS WAS A “TAPE-SWAPPERS” FAVE, NOW QUITE RIGHTLY RECEIVING IT’S DUES A DETROIT SOUL CLASSIC. MID TEMPO MAGIC AND IN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, GLOSSY CONDITION THIS HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH SPARKLING CONDITION. THE OTHER GOLDEN WORLD IMPRINT HAS A DIFFERENT FLIP-SIDE FROM THIS CATALOGUE NUMBER, WITH “C.O.D” OFFERING A THUMPING MID-TEMPO FINGER SNAPPER, THAT’S GIVEN THIS RELEASE A BONAFIDE 2-SIDER VALUE AND INCREASED RARITY.  A VERY RELUCTANT SALE AT AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN PRICE; CONDITION IS CLOSE TO MINT - VINYL AND LABEL.
