Originally released on Atlantic 2846. This is Robert John's remake of the Tokens classic. Tokens fans will note that this version was produced and arranged by Hank Medress of the original Tokens, which partly explains why it's such a joyful, faithful update. This is a like-new copy of the gold-label Atlantic oldies reissue, which has the original 45 Mono mix.
