Man, they should at least fix the album art on digital and streaming. That wonky album art is painful. -
Phenomenal record. I love a lot of the Whispers records, but this one top to bottom is my favorite. Funky as hell, top notch production. interesting transitions, harmonies, vocal moves and stacked melodies. Pay attention to the bass on this record... it's phenomenal!
