I Wish It Would Rain/ I Truly, Truly Believe

What a truly sublime love song... and how heartbreaking! Guess I'm getting sentimental in my old age. :-) But seriously, listening to this one anew, it's easy to understand why Dave Marsh includes it among the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul (at #426)! It truly is a masterpiece — one of many among Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong's deep catalog as writers/producers of profoundly significant Soul music during the 1960s & 1970s. Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. Besides the drillhole, the labels are pristine. The vinyl (styrene) and audio are pristine Mint.
