Damn, it's hard to find a near mint copy of this single — one of the group's very best dance numbers, as well as one of the very best examples of uptempo Philly soul. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Philadelphia Int'l Records factory sleeve. The A label has "a '73" inked on it. In a rarity for this release, this copy has pristine Mint audio, and the vinyl (styrene) is nearly flawless in appearance as well.
