SOLD Peggy Gaines    Just To Satisfy My Baby / Sweet Way Of Living   

REF-O-REE       EX      £45   

I grade this as EX (light surface marks only). Just a WOW record!  Double header -  'Sweet Way' is a swinging dancer and 'Satisfy' is an immense slab of SOUL- tremendous mid-paced ballad.

There are two versions of ‘Satisfy’ this copy is matrix R-711-X - Strings in foreground - PIANO in the background.
