It Won't Be This Way (Always)/ How Long Will It Last

Here's a beautiful copy of this early Soul vocal group single. These guys were walking down the same musical road that some of their Motown brothers in groups like the Temptations and Miracles were walking, and both sides are truly special. The A side is a midtempo toe-tapper, while the flip is a soulful ballad. Their sound still has some of the vocal ideas from Doo-Wop, but there's equal part ideas from Gospel. Have a listen to the mp3 "snippet"! Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage King Records factory sleeve. It grades very close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
