From when Al had an 'e' in his surname,   downtempo late 60s soul perefection with an almighty breakbeat bass, drum organ intro and groove to the whole side .   Beautiful arrangement & and a cheapie.   Not heard it yet? - a 'buy blind buy' for sure.     UK small hole in a (slightly ripped) Bell bag.
