Cissy Strut-N-American Woman/ Just To Please You

Here's a very nice copy of this rare and wonderful Soul instrumental, recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals. This is the first release, on the Rick Hall label (which had only a half-dozen or so releases); 45cat.com pegs the release date at 1971. The recordings were re-released on Rick Hall's Fame label in 1972, and that is also a rare item to find. Note: The labels would grade Near Mint, but there's a little writing on both sides (see scan). The vinyl is EX, but I'm grading the A side audio Near Mint overall, despite a bit of surface noise just at the beginning (have a listen to the mp3 snippet!).
